The torque is a mighty 1,500Nm. The top speed is electronically limited to 415km/h to protect the tires, the Veyron Super Sport is capable of going even faster.

Eu. Lorenzo: MotoGP most exciting sport in the world!

Jorge Lorenzo insists MotoGP is not only more spectacular than the lower 125 and Moto2 classes, but the most exciting sport in the world.

With just 16 riders on the MotoGP grid in Mugello and the same for this weekend in Silverstone, following Valentino Rossi’s leg-breaking fall, there have been questions raised both within the sport and by paying fans about the excitement levels of the elite category.

The revised Moto2 format has 41 riders on the grid and has been packed full of action, with countless overtaking throughout the field, as well as numerous crashes.

Scott Redding said at the AirAsia Media Event held at Lords Cricket Ground on Wednesday, that it will be “crazy” to see 41 bikes on the new fast, flowing circuit in Northamptonshire.

The 125 category has also been extremely lively, as you would expect with so many eager and enthusiastic youngsters, once again with around 32 riders on the grid.

But title leader Lorenzo dismissed suggestions for more riders in the MotoGP category, firmly stating that he believed, “MotoGP is still the most exciting sport in the world!”

However, 125cc rider Bradley Smith had different thoughts on the subject.

“Unfortunately what happens in MotoGP,” he sighed. “Is the technology is able to run so open and free, that you’re always going to have some races that the Yamaha will work on some tracks and the Honda will work better on the others.

“Unfortunately unless they cap it, within particular parameters, it’s always going to be like it is. When the bikes are as close as they are with the current electronic packages, you are talking about 0.1, 0.2 of a second, every single lap, it’s impossible to fight.

“That’s why we see such great races between Valentino Rossi and Lorenzo. But you will never really see a great race between Valentino and Dani Pedrosa [as he's on the Honda].

“Ok we saw the good race in Laguna Seca in 2008, [Rossi against Stoner] but that was because Rossi was riding tactically to keep Casey and his Ducati behind him. Casey had half a second on Valentino, but if Casey hadn’t have passed him, he would have gone and left him and that would have been the end of the race.

“I think that’s the situation it is at the moment. It would be nice to spruce it up a bit. However, that would take Dorna to sit down and make new regulations to put their authority across, rather than letting the manufacturers run the show.”

II. Surfing the Waves has become easier

With beginner-friendly surfboard, riding the waves has become easier. But avoid too-much self-confident. After a day in the surf, your arms will feel like a wooden log and you will have water leaking out of your nose and sand will be scouring every orifice. At the same time, you will also have a big grin plastered on your face and even a bikini-clad ‘young girl’ may be clutching your biceps!.

Surfing was the center part of early Polynesian culture. Polynesian chieftains would exhibit and confirm their authority by the skills they displayed in the surfing. The art of surfing was first experimental by Europeans in 1767. Later, Lieutenant James King, wrote about the art of surfing when finishing the journals of Captain James Cook upon Cook’s death in 1779.

Earlier you jump onto the waves, you should know and ready with all the procedures ie., how to be in front of the wave, how to position your legs and where to stand up on your surfboard and surf high on the waves. So your safest play would be to sign up for surf camp or a surf school and take a few coaching before you mission out on your own. Like local wind conditions, about wave quality, since the rid able surface of a wave can become choppy in windy conditions. Ideal surfing conditions include a light to moderate strength “offshore” wind, since this wind blows into the front of the wave making it barrel or tube etc.
