Yes, we realize the rapid beast to the right has a couple too many wheels for our purposes. But consider this: If a genie appeared and offered to grant three wishes, our first answer would be a weekend of MotoGP racing in Monaco.

Now while we fully understand that FIM's stringent rules make this two-wheeled pipe dream just that--a dream--it now seems MotoGP fans could have something similar if the new Yas Marina Circuit is allowed a place on the schedule for Twenty Ten.

Dubbed the Arabian Monaco by some, a call has been put into the powers that be at FIM, pleading with them to secure an all-rock-star event for our two-wheeled racers at the Abu Dhabi locale. And who knows, if Hungary's new Balatonring still isn't complete, maybe we could get our boys over to the UAE to race at a track that would not only outshine Qatar, but every other circuit on the list.

Check out the following report, written by Red Bull, posted at TankSlapperz.com.
