good luck for the MSS man!

[ambasnakeman]

i havent post FP2 results....Melandri was fastest, followed by Pedrosa and followed by all the bridgestones. Rossi was 11th fastest.

 

The long straight is 405m or 450m only

[GrimReaper]

Whahahahaha....Finally our Champ is gonna kick the youngster stoners ass. But stoner does contain the qualities of rossi when he was in 250 years. But i think i gonna support stoner from next year onwards. Upz to both riders. As if they even know i exist. Anyways. Koodos

FREE PRACTICE REPORT - 18/05/2007:

"I had a bit of a problem this afternoon when a bee somehow flew into my boot! I'd literally just passed the entrance to pit lane when I realised so I had to get round a whole lap with it in there. It stung me a couple of times in my foot but I think I'll survive...! Anyway, the bike feels good, we've made a strong start and hopefully we can carry on like this tomorrow."

 

Colin Edwards

Position: 4th Time: 1'35.626 Laps: 51

 

lol... How did the bee get into the boots.

Wat a crazy race...

Stoner was gd indeed...wonder wat happen to Rossi n Edwards hmm bikes, tyres or riders??

 

The 1st few laps b4 the dwnpour was really cool after the dwnpour started every1 started crashing but it seems like Hayden's crash during the last few laps was really disappointing to the team.

[fruitcakepablohoney]

What a crazy race. First 10 laps like 125cc race.

Than rain sets in! 2 thumbs up for the rider Sylvain Guintoli!

They looked more tulan at him then disappointed to me..

 

 

Randy De Puniet is MotoGP most unlucky person.. He's always been doing well in qualifying and at th beginning of the race but somehow never finish..

 

 

 

Sylvain Guintoli got thrown up 5ft into the air and landed hard yet still can come back and finish 10th.. Amazing..

 

 

 

This is the most exciting and most unpredictable race so far this season..

I actually pity Colin Edwards...for the past 2 races dunno wat happen to him..qualify well n suddenly drop to the end of the pack within the 1st few laps like the bike fail during races.

[DGray]

Wat a great race. I reali tink tis year contender for the champion is Rossi, Stoner & Pedrosa. But tis Casey Stoner is reali an amazing chap. Im gonna look out for him now on.

Chris Vermuelen is indeed a very fast rider in the rain... He was pulling away further and further from the rest towards the end of the few laps.... Great bike setup, tyres and rider.....Best Combination.....

Yeah.. You can see how comfortable he look on the bike.. Even sliding with confident.. Rossi look so nervous..

 

If the French did well last week, next race would it be the Italians?

if it did not rain, i think vermulen also no chance of a podium finish!

7 riders DNF, and the position of each riders change so drastically since lap 1. but edwards is the most disappointing one, started on pole and became P17 after few turns!!!!!

 

WHAT THE FIAT!!!!!!

[ambasnakeman]

read in yammie site that the team predicted light rain and opted for hard rain tyres....thats where we all saw rossi and edwards sliding all over the place.

 

if stoner continues his form, mugello shouldnt be a problem for him.

 

if rossi had to fight with melandri, capi and biaggi in the past.

 

come on rossi, u can do it

Maybe he needs a mohawk..

[cagiva03]

I simply love this season of MotoGP... The results are really unpredictable...

[eFzek17]

how about john hopkins? i can see that most of the race, he gave fight to the leading bike but that was only on the early laps. then after that dropped far back.. i guess hes just not consistent..
