The Doctor Does it Again

There is a lot out there for race fans to watch - stock cars, open wheel, sports car racing and even things like drag racing and monster trucks - but if you are a fan of things that go fast and haven't checked out World Superbike Championship or MotoGP yet, you are missing out on the best racing anywhere on the planet.

Both of motorcycle's premier racing series are packed with action, but over the past few months, MotoGP has stolen the show, highlighted by the insanely intense battle between motorcycle legend Valentino Rossi and his young upstart of a teammate, Jorge Lorenzo.

The two were at it again this past weekend at the Sachsenring in Germany - a treacherous, but absolutely stunning track not far from Dresden - battling right up to the checkered flag, where The Doctor once again bested the youngster, but only by a few thousandths of a second.

This race didn't feature the thrilling last-lap antics we saw at Catalyuna a few races ago, but the two Yamaha teammates raced each other just as hard. Plus there was plenty of other great racing, too, between Casey Stoner and Dani Pedrosa - and all four riders were in the mix up until the last few laps.

Both premier motorcycle series are on this weekend; MotoGP at Donington Park, and World Superbike at Brno - a track I like even more than Sachsenring...there's something about those East European tracks with the elevations and flowing corners - and Brno features an uphill version of Laguna Seca's famous corkscrew, but I digress...

One way or the other, if you have yet to check out the action in WSBK or MotoGP - this weekend is the perfect time to start - you won't be disappointed. And be sure to get a preview of this weekend's racing action from my friends at MotoGPMatters.com
