• Watch Moto GP: Czech Republic -Live on Ten Sports

    Submitted by ITV Production on Aug 17, 2007

    MUMBAI: Moto GP returns after a one month break with the Czech grand prix live on Ten Sports on the 19th August.The rivalry between Casey Stoner and Valentino Rossi heads to Brno in the Czech Republic. Though major racing has been happening in Brno since 1930, the new track was built during the 1980s, in a natural bowl which gives spectators an excellent view. The track constantly changes in elevation as it sweeps across forested hillsides and its fast undulating corners test rider talent and engineering to the limit.

    Time is running out for Valentino Rossi after Stoner?s success in the USA at Laguna, and the young Australian is showing remarkable consistency, with 6 wins and never finishing out of the points this season. Rossi currently has 177 points, behind Stoner on 221, with Dani Pedrosa in third on 155. Australian Chris Vermeulen?s 2nd place in America means that he?s now tied for 4th overall with italy?s Marco Melandri.

    There are just 6 races to go after the Czech grand prix, and with 25 points for a win, Stoner is looking odds-on favourite to claim his first ever Moto GP title by the time the riders reach the last race in Valencia in November.

    Ten Sports shows live coverage of every Moto GP race as well as America?s Champ Car series, GP 2 racing featuring Karun Chandok and the top motorsport from the sub-continent.

    Pentecostal Serpent Handlers - Journey to the hills of the rural south where believers take passages of the Bible literally enough to take up serpents...especially deadly rattlesnakes and cottonmouths.

There, the wolf boys are not cast in a "freak show" but are employed as acrobatic stunt performers, by a caring manager who guards their welfare and provides for their education. Ufologyst Dr. Stranges - Dr. Frank E. Stranges has a unique pal, a Martian by the name of Valiant Thor. Dr. Stranges says the Martian visits him on a regular basis and has invited the doctor aboard his space vehicle. In addition, Dr. Stranges‘ claims Valiant Thor has been working at the Pentagon where Stranges professes to have visited him.

    Modern Day Mummification - At Lynn University in Florida the mortuary science department teaches more than funerary practice. Here they have reincarnated the ancient art of mummification.
