Sheeet!! MotoGP is definitely exciting this year. Who'da thunk that Ducati and Bridgestone would be in the lead over industry giants like Honda, Michelin and Yamaha? And where's Valentino Rossi? Has Rossi lost the fire?

Sure, Ducati had flashes of brilliance in years past, but nothing like this year. We're witnessing a magical combination of young talent just now coming into his own, combined with a well-developed bike and tires that are finally becoming competetive.

But one of the cool things is that, while Casey Stoner is somewhat dominant, he's not running away with the championship like others have in years past. Remember how Mick Doohan used to just run away from all the others so many times? And how Rossi was SO dominant just a couple of years ago? Sure those guys are hugely talented riders and its a thrill to watch them ride. But it made for less-than-exciting races to watch.

This year is so thrilling....I almost tingle when I see there's a race on TV.
