Well, off to Philip Island for the weekend tomorrow to see the Aussie World Moto GP Champion Casey Stoner essentially do a victory lap in front of a home crowd.

It’s been a really exciting year for Moto GP, a fantastic field of riders, plenty of new blood riding very competitively (including Casey obviously) and 800cc engines which means that all the manufactures were starting from scratch more or less.

It’s meant Ducatti hit the nail on the head first time round which is impressive as they are one of the smaller teams, and Honda, who have dominated for quite a few years now (at least the last 6) have really struggled.

So it will be an exciting year next year as well as the teams settle into the 800cc engines and start some major developments. Not to mention a few exceptional 250cc riders coming up to the Moto GP class.

I’ve been to three of the last four Moto GPs and they are a lot of fun. Camping “track side” and being woken every morning by the sound of the 125cc’s warming which is the last thing you want to hear when you’ve been up all night drunkenly singing a long to an Oz Rock cover band with a few thousand other very “heavy dudes”.

Yep, really excited about it all this year.
