Fiat Yamahas back on top!

[Sankar73]

not really surprised to see the Doctor on the pole position... he's been playing cat and mouse with the rest of the riders...

 

but i really pity Marco Melandri... last year's winner has been really struggling with the new Honda.... I doubt he will even finish in the top 5 for tomm's race..

 

I bet for the race:

 

1. Rossi

2. Stoner

3. Edwards

[william_liu]

Think another reason is that the Gresini team switched to Bridgestones from Michelins... Just like Nakano switched from Bridgestones to Michelins.

 

Guess for some of the riders, changing tyres is much harder to get used to compared to changing bikes.

[myxilplix]

So.

 

Just like last year, the balls and sticks game has overrun it's timing and we can't get to watch what seems to be like an exciting 125cc race (i'm watching the live timings on Motogp.com, the first 7 are separated by less than a second as i type this).

 

My mom (she loves to do this, bless her) is currently screaming down the phone at starhub just like last year. Last time this happened they gave us a free month of starsports, so i'd advise everyone who is pissed off about this delay to get on the phones and make noise to starhub. Call starhub, write emails, do anything to let them know we're not happy, and you might even get a free month of starsports for your troubles.

 

And i hope balls and sticks ends soon.

[spiderman]

if this goes on we'll miss the 250 class too! damn it someone stick that stick into that guys' ass please!

[myxilplix]

The number to call is 1633.

[PUNK]

quite a few times it had happened.... maybe nt many ppl complain to starhub .. dats y motogp is always delayed... Y can't starhub just switched motogp to channel 21 for this type of live screening clashes

[gnayed]

Ok... I'm calling 1633 for the first time. Bloody pissed.

[spiderman]

i called too.. haha

well 250 race halfway.. sian

[BlackHonda]

now they are showing the 250 race with 10 laps remaining

 

and they kept on showing Yamaha comercial........ Damn

[skybono]

They are still concern more on making money.

[skybono]

Only the last few seconds of the flying lap was shown due to

a commercial. haizzz.

[spiderman]

michellins wear out fast man... maybe tyre compund too soft... powerrace also wear out very fast!

[kst24]

What a sad race for all Rossi fans!

Rossi went wide on his first lap & damage his rear tyres.

But think Michelin has to do something in the next race if not they're in trouble.

Bridgestone has really improve!

[ambasnakeman]

hail chang jun lin........he could have made the programme start later...if not for the canon of no.2 into 9.

 

remember, the pool event sponsor was star sports. actually i dun understand why can't they put programmes that can clash on supersport plus(21) instead.

 

based on first 3 rounds, tracks that had fair amount of straights is where ducati and bridgestone performed.....and remember the onboard footage of rossi's tyre shredding......

 

the coolest thing about today's races was the part where bikes were touching each other like they were SUPPOSE to......
