    "The Doctor" (rossi) after falling in with some of the best Moto mechanics in Moto GP after doohans retirement, went well at the start of his career with good help. Then to Yamaha where the DR,,,, or rather his 'Team' went to work on the Yamaha taming that beast & tuning it into a sleek handling machine.

    The doctyor said Casey doesn't ride the Ducati pig bike "Hard enough", Casey leaves to Honda, & Rossi "the doctor" goes to Ducati to tame that beast. Well "Doctor" what happened to your hard riding ways at Ducati???

    relegated to where you should be a bully back in the pack. you should have raced on dirt speedway tracks.

    Superceded by a couple a top riders in Stoner,,, & Lorenzo.

    MotoGP 2015, Qatar Practice 2, 3: Marc Marquez on top by only a narrow margin from Cal Crutchlow

    MARC Marquez’s MotoGP rivals are right on his tail heading into the opening qualifying session for the 2015 season at the Qatar Grand Prix.

    The reigning world champion once again topped the times across Friday’s two practice sessions at the Losail circuit, his 1m54.822s best dipping under the lap record set by Casey Stoner in 2008 by three tenths of a second.

    But just 0.096 of a second behind him is Cal Crutchlow on a satellite Honda, with the top ten riders covered by just half a second. The British rider, in his debut for Lucio Cecchinello Racing after splitting with Ducati at the end of last year, turned heads with the late lap and appears to be a genuine threat for pole position when qualifying takes place on Saturday night.

    “Obviously I’m happy enough with the lap time tonight and how things were feeling at the end of the session, but the early part of it was a bit of a disaster,” Crutchlow said.

    “I’m not sure today’s speed and lap-times are relative to where we will finish the race, but I hope it is!”

    COMEBACK: STONER TO RACE IN SUZUKA 8 HOUR

    CASEY Stoner will return to motorcycle racing when he takes part in the prestigious Suzuka 8 Hours endurance race in Japan in July.

    http://www.news.com.au/sport/motorsport/casey-stoner-comeback-motogp-world-champion-to-return-to-racing-in-2015-at-suzuka-8-hours/story-fnec58gr-1227281470187

    The two-time MotoGP world champion has been retired from two-wheel racing since walking away from the championship at the end of 2012.

    He will ride a factory-backed Honda in the legendary race, joining World Superbike racer Michael van der Mark and Takumi Takahashi.

    “After riding the bike in Sepang a few months ago, I’ve been speaking closely with Honda about the possibility to take part in Suzuka,” Stoner said. “It’s always been an event I wanted to do and something I was never able to consider when I was racing in MotoGP, due to our busy schedules, so I’m really looking forward to taking part!

    “The bike is very different to a MotoGP machine, but it will be a new challenge and a chance for me to try something new and unlike what I’ve been used to in my racing to this point. “I’ve been impressed with Michael van der Mark this season and Takumi Takahashi has a lot of experience on this machine, so I’m looking forward to hearing their comments and working together with them in preparation for the July race.

    “Now I need to concentrate on my training to be ready for the race.”

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
