What?s the Deal with Nicky Hayden?s Helmet Spoiler?
If you’ve seen some of the photos from the Losail International Circuit, you’ll see that Nicky Hayden has been going out in some of the sessions with a piece of plastic affixed to his helmet. As the MotoGP paddock gets ready for the Qatar GP, the wind has been a factor here in Doha, fueled by the Arabian Gulf which is only two miles away from us and the desert the surrounds the area.

17-18-19-20 March 2011
Welcome to the Clipsal 500 Adelaide, a truly world-class festival of motor sport.
South Australia has a well-earned reputation for innovation and excellence in staging major events and, in doing so, regularly sets a benchmark for others to follow.
The Clipsal 500 Adelaide – the most awarded and popular motor sport event in the nation- is an outstanding example.
Four days of exciting motor sport action headed by the V8 Supercars, and complemented by a program of the best feature support races, also includes four on-circuit concerts and a myriad of other associated activities.
With the South Australian Government having invested more than $20 million into our unique street circuit in recent years, it continues to offer an unprecedented level of comfort to spectators as well as top-shelf facilities for teams, officials and media.
The South Australian Motor Sport Board has done a great job in promoting the Clipsal 500 Adelaide, and I take this opportunity to thank the Chairman, Board, management, and staff for their efforts.
Enjoy the Live experience another action-packed Clipsal 500 Adelaide, and enjoy the sights, sounds and sensations of Adelaide at its very best.

2011 MotoGP Qatar Day 3 Round Up - Get Ready To Rumble
The first race of the season hasn't even happened yet, but the Honda story is already starting to get old. The headlines are writing themselves, the only thing that an editor has to do at the moment is cast a cursory glance over the wording to check whether it was Casey Stoner or Dani Pedrosa who spotted the fastest time.
Despite the disparity with the rest of the field, qualifying actually turned into a pretty exciting spectacle. It was a race of two classes - the two lead Repsols matching each other's times, while the rest of the field battled valiantly for the rest of the places on the two front rows, but it still gave the viewers something to get engrossed in.
Stoner's 1'54.137 is a spectacular improvement over last year, cutting the best part of a second off his pole time from 2010. And it was the first time we got to see Stoner really pushing, starting to sling the Repsol Honda around like he used to muscle the Marlboro Ducati around in 2010. He admitted in the press conference that he had been a lot closer to the limit than he had been so far during practice, saying he had even managed to get close to tucking the front at one point. The bad news - at least for the competition - was that he had not been that comfortable on the softer tires, and felt he had better pace on the harder race tires.
