Top 10 Reasons Why MotoGP is Awesome: #1 — Battles

This is it. The end of the road. The number one reason in a list of ten. The Top 10 Reasons Why MotoGP is Awesome.

So here it is. The number one reason is the battles the occur during a race.


It makes the most sense. They are the excitement of the race. Battles make you jump up with joy or crash back down on the ground. The battles between the riders certainly make watching MotoGP the most interesting. It is a test of the rider fighting it out with another rider.

Following are some pretty good battles from the past few years.

Here is one between Stoner and Rossi at Laguna Seca in 2008. Rossi put some moves on Stoner that made it some hard racing. That was the turning point really in the 2008 season that saw Rossi win back his title from Stoner.

The other is example can be found here. (The best one is the very last one, so scroll down.) This was was called the Race of the Decade by Motorcycle News Sport. It was between Rossi and Lorenzo at Catalunya in 2009. Well, it really speaks for itself.

That is the end. The number one reason why MotoGP is awesome is because of the battles that exist between the riders on the track. Hope you have enjoyed reading and have become enlightened to the sport.

Just remember the first race is under the floodlights in Qatar of March 2oth.

Rubik's Cube Battles

So I was staying at a friend's house recently and they wanted to Skype with my parents. When I opened up the program on their computer, it was all different and new. I wasn't use to it. I figured that Skype must have released an update, so later I went to investigate it. Sure enough they did and to help promote it they made this video:

It shows a father on a business trip in some other country having a video call with his son and they end up having a Rubik's cube battle. Is that all they did while the father was gone? If that was my father I would actually want to talk with my dad.

I just found this a very strange way to market the program.
