thanks for the heads up dude!

[ugar-6]

Glad they're listening. I was going to get pissed if they couldn't squeeze that in at 8:00 A.M between all the nascar crap on that day.

[TLR67]

You will still get 10 Minutes of Racing and 50 Minutes of NASCRAP Commercials... Enjoy... LOL

Great stuff so far.... Spies went down in Practice this AM Hard and messed up his ankle... However now he is still in the top 10... Stoner on the throne for the moment... 17 Minutes left...

[wallypiper]

Yeaaaahhh, Edwards on the pole for a second. Looking like a good race tomorrow.

[TLR67]

Rossi's first Pole of the Year.... This will be a good race...

[wallypiper]

The 125 battle was great racing. Poor Bradley Smith was in third for most of the race and then had a big wobble on the last lap and ended up 5th.
Moto2 coming up in 20 minutes.

[TLR67]

Great Moto 2 Race as well... Elias is on Fire...

[wallypiper]

Yep. He really belongs in MotoGP. Simon puts on a show. McCoylike. Obviously you don't HAVE to do that on those bikes but he apparently likes it and it works pretty darn well for him. Fun to watch.

[TLR67]

Too bad for Stoner.... Looks like Nickys dropping back quick...

[TLR67]

Pedro Dove and Hayden Battle is the real race....

[TLR67]

Great comeback for Nicky.... Lorenzo is unstoppable... Popcorn and Beer...LOL

[wallypiper]

Yep. Great ride again for Nicky. Lorenzo was spectacular. Maybe there is finally a real challenger for the Doctor. Stoner needs a new excuse apparently. He's not sick this year, except probably sick of crashing.
Another DNF for Spies. Tough freshman year for the pheenom.

[Derrick]

Great race, short rossi/lorenzo battle until Lorenzo checked out, exciting podium battle for third at the end though...good stuff!

If this keeps up, there won't be a challenge for the doctor....he'll be out of it in 4-5 races.

[wallypiper]

I don't think that will happen, but it could. Lorenzo is something special.

[ridered]

I know it's early in the season, but it seems like Rossi and his team are throwing everything in now and they can't come up with Lorenzo's pace. Maybe they should ask Lorenzo's team for some tips, LOL!

I wish all the posts were still up from last year on the old board where everyone was talking about Rossi and Lorenzo not sharing data this year and how it was going to kill Lorenzo because Rossi and Burgess developed the M1 and Lorenzo can't set up a bike! :lol:

[jkhonea]

Wow, Reece out of left field. And with an avatar that is completely freaking me out. :crackup:

Yep.. How did he take that pic of you John??

[jkhonea]

Yep.. How did he take that pic of you John??

Me? He told me that was how you looked the last time you met him at the door. Lyin' bastid!

[Seca]

minus the glasses...

Reece said Marc told him the glasses were supposed to be a disguise. :crackup:

[Derrick]

What about the nose, is that a tail bone or a piece of skin colored crap.?

Yeah, Lorenzo is no slouch... which I said that Yamaha should call Rossi's bluff (about threatening to leave). Not surprised that Rossi is singing a different tune (http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/83550) nowadays.

What I can't figure out is why Stoner is crashing all over the place lately. I figured this would be his year. Guess not!

[signguy]

Only a 9 point difference between Jorge and Vale... all it will take is for Jorge to crash out of one race......

and Nicky is looking good.... but he still needs more bike.... just not enough motor to compete with Honda and Yamaha

[TarzanMan]

Do you think there's any truth the rumors of Stoner leaving Duc after this year?

[TLR67]

Do you think there's any truth the rumors of Stoner leaving Duc after this year?

He's a Ass... Nicky beat him straight up in the previous Race and he made some comments on not sharing Data with him due to his Lap Times.. LOL.. I thought it was cool how all of the second team riders beat the top riders..

Lorenzo over Rossi,
Dovisio over Pedrobot
Hayden over Stoner
Colin over Ben
And
Melandri over Simoncelli

[impalanar]

It's still early in the season, lets give it a few more races before you completely dismiss Il Dottore.

You have to be in it to win it.... No one has had 2 DNF's and won the Championship... And when Nicky won it 4 years ago he only had 1 Win @ Laguna... Go Nicky!

Which two races did Rossi have DNF's in? I have seen all three to date and remember the order being 1-3-2.
