Could be tempted although the prizes are a touch off-putting actually as someone who has never ridden a motor bike myself!

Same here, but its something for nothing and you could always sell the prizes if you do win!! It'll make watching the racing more interesting this season, though I am gutted I will have to watch moto gp on the beeb!! :cry: I'm in, anyone setting up a mini league??

Will give it a go again - looking forward already to a set of tyres, but can't yet work how much P&P I will charge for them on eBay. :)

Has anyone got any points details for last year?

I have e-mailed them to see if they plan to add data to the Rider List for 2008 and awaiting a response.

You are right, you don't. He has won 18 of the last 55 moto gp races.

This is a highly simplified precis of last years comp but it was probably not won by picking the Rossi'a or Stoner's but by picking up the points for the lesser riders - you either need to know your motor sport or be prepared for a a bit of research.

You pick riders from one of each of:

MotoGP
WSB
BSB


But note there are (i think) more WSB and BSB races than MotoGP - so twice the points up for grabs.

Timing of transfers is key.
