Had an email from Dainese saying that they are reinstating the D-Challenge Moto GP game. This is excellent news as it made the racing a lot more fun. I found it more fun than the Fantasy Team Game (though I am happy to participate in any free games that make bike racing more exciting). I advise everyone to sign up to it. You have to guess the top 5 finishers in order for each Moto GP. In several years of doing it, I've never managed a perfect score, although the leader has on a couple of occasions fallen off on the last lap, totally screwing my prediction as everyone gets bumped up a place - nul point. I never understood why they canned it for last year, and possibly the year before. As a relationship marketing tool, it's the business. Of course, in true Italian style, having only had a year to prepare for the season, they are late and it doesn't look as if we will be able to start the season in Qatar. Not the first time that's happened. Still, should be fun. We can compare points at the end of the season. (sound of gauntlet hitting the floor)
All the fun of the first race. A very tricky one to call. I went with: 1. Marquez 2. Rossi 3. Iannone 4. Dovi 5. Lorenzo So I'll only get the points for 5th. It's always like this. Still think that Iannone will beat Dovi one day. I thought Crutchlow would bin it (he didn't), I didn't think Marquez would (he did). Didn't stop me cheering on Rossi, even if he was going to bugger up my prediction. If Cal hadn't done Crazy Joe on the last corner I'd have got the points for 3rd too. Good game! Good game!
