MotoGP New Year's Resolutions 2010

What New Year's Resolutions did the MotoGP riders make for this coming season? I exclusively reveal them:

Casey Stoner: Eat his greens.

Dani Pedrosa: Grow up to be a real boy this year.

Nicky Hayden: Contain his joy at the impending switch back to 1000cc bikes. Yeeee-haarrr!!!

Loris Capirossi: Grow old gracefully.

Andrea Dovizioso: Remind us what the hell he's doing on a factory HRC machine.

Randy de Puniet: Crash even less than last year.

Colin Edwards: Show Benny Elbowz the way it's done.

Ben Spies: Blow away the Texan Tornado.

Valentino Rossi: Give these kids another masterclass in winning championships. And tell F1 to screw itself again. And make up some better victory celebrations.

Jorge Lorenzo: Try to bounce when Rossi pressures him into a crash.

Alvaro Bautista: Make the Suzuki look more like a blue motorcycle than a brown, steaming turd.

Mika Kallio: Regain the consistency that nearly made him a 125cc champion (Damn Talmacsi!).

Aleix Espargaro: Show us that the satellite Duke isn't a graveyard for rookie dreams.

Hector Barbera: Prove he deserved that surprise call-up to GP from Aspar.

Hiroshi Aoyama: Show us that a Japanese rider can be a real contendah!

Marco Melandri: Regain the form that took him to 2nd in the championship back in the 990 era.

Marco Simoncelli: Kill Bart Simpson!

Donington Saved After All?

The son of the late, great Tom Wheatcroft has announced that the Donington Park race track is back in family hands, and they will be working to return the track to raceable condition.


Outstanding news. I wish him all the best. Donington's a great track and let's hope we see bikes back racing on it in 2011.
