The BIG Moto GP season Preview

Aaaaaaaaaaaah I'm super excited! Are you? But Ruth, about what? I hear you cry. About the brand new season of Moto GP of course. It all kicks off in Qatar this weekend, after three very long months away and a very exciting pre-season of testing. So let us glance into the Sports Wall crystal ball to see what we can expect from this season....

In the 2011 season we will definitely see:

• The eurosport commentary team will mistake almost everyone in the paddock for Cal Crutchlow at one point or another. It happened with Toseland, it'll  happen again. They will also call people in the same team by each others name regardless of how different their leathers/helmet/bike looks. And expect to hear "Oh he's gone into fifth there. Oh no, he hasn't he's sixth."
• Charlie from the BBC will invariably say "Stonking." or "Nightmare in a bubblecar." He will also get so excited that he sounds on the verge of collapsing. For every race.
• Stinky Stoner will blame any mistake on tyres, or the front end, or electronics, or the weather, or Livio Suppo. Nicky Hayden will fall off and get in a fight with someone else about it.
• Alberto Puig will not smile for the entirety of the season. Jerry Burgess will smile all season long.
• Valentino Rossi will say "for suuure" at least once during a race weekend. At some point (normally Jerez) someone will swear live on the BBC (usually Dani or Valentino.)
• Marco Simoncelli on deck at some point during any weekend.
• Silly season  over contracts will start stupidly early.

And some things that we hope to see:

• Silly season will not start stupidly early.
• Andrea Dovizioso's collection of sunglasses out in force
• Stinky having a tantrum
• Some 250 style elbowing
• The podium slash continuing and the advancement of the greatest bromance ever (Pedrossi Forever!)
• A Simoncelli wig range in stores.
• More extracurricular weirdness, carry on the fine tradition of Loris on an elephant, Jorge in a library and Alvaro surfing.

Happy new bike season everyone and Vamos Dani for today!

Ah what a lovey school photo. Say cheese! (A fun game for this picture is spot who isn't looking at the right camera)
