Anyone going to the MotoGP races this April at the new Circuit of Americas track in Austin, TX? I've never been to a race before and thinking of going. Ducati has their own grandstand. Has anyone been to a MotoGP race? Any fun? Does Ducati do a good job of entertaining their Ducati fans?

- Vale leaves Ducati for Yamaha (which I totally understand).
- Ben Spies once appeared headed out of MotoGP but now looks to be a part of the 'junior' Ducati MotoGP team.

I am enjoying these Jerez tests as I watch video from today's session 1. In two weeks we'll get to see the 1000cc bikes in action!!! Atleast, we'll have some good MotoGP action while we wait for our PANI's to arrive. So far Hayden looks impressive on the Desmo, Jorge, Stoner, and Pedrosa...
What do you think of Elena Myers, 18 years old, first female to win a motorcycle race at Daytona... do you think we'll ever see here in MotoGP?
Here is an excerpt from the Crash article:
Geez, come in numbers 10 & 11 .... aka Rossi and Hayden, after the final day of Sepang testing.
Was hoping to see the Ducati's closer to the sharp end and I didn't mean Barbera finishing 6th :eek:
Control tyres or not WTF
