there are 2 brits in Moto GP Cal Crutchlow (Tech 3) and James Ellison (Paul Bird Racing) on a CRT machine.not the most competitive of machines
there are 3 brits in Moto 2 Scott Redding (Marc VDS Racing), Bradley Smith(Tech 3) and Gino Rea(Gresini) all on competitive machines
there are 2 brits in Moto 3 Danny Kent(Red Bull Ajo) and Danny Webb (Mahindra) hard to tell who will have a competitive bike in this as it's the first season we'll see this class out of the two i'd say Danny Kent is in the more experienced team but that could mean absolutely nothing.
All i'll say is if moto 3 is as competitive as moto 2 we're in for a cracking season as for Moto gp who knows i'm not sure or convinced about the CRT class(bsb and the evo class springs to mind) but we'll see a step up from the 800cc machines to 1000cc machines.I have a feeling the noises coming from Dorna can see more changes for 2013 if true then it could be as far away as 2014 to see a settled Moto Gp paddock and racing......i can't wait

I'm looking forward to the new season coming up.

Just wondering if it might get lonely posting about MotoGP on here.

 

[CaptainHook]

I just want the teams to be competitive, with plenty of different leaders and top sixes. Bring on proper racing so I don't have to have F1 shoved in my face all the time.
