[Gismo]

Another MotoGP event this weekend with free practice already started, Rossi's not far off the pace and Stoner leading the timings again.
Will be a difficult fantasy league prediction this week.

Another good qualifying session for the MotoGP guys.
It's gonna be another Honda race, well done to Simoncelli as well and John Hopkins return.

Not a big fan of Lorenzo but he's sitting well on the grid.

Once again Rossi is having problems with the Ducati front end with a crash out of nothing, that Duc front end just washes away all the time, no wonder Stoner moved to honda, I wonder how long Rossi will persevere there

[Big Gordy]

If you watch the slow mo it actually looks like the back lets go first....:thud:
Crutchlow's doing well tho:thumbs up:

[zimbo]

Well I'm going to have to try and see if I can record the race coz, I gotta go to work at 1pm and wont be back till 9pm :ragin: watched the qualifying last night after I got in from work, seems there was a few people losing the front ends.

Fantasy league predictions were put in this morning, so now just gotta keep my fingers crossed :thumbs up: a bit more difficult with this race I think.

Fantasy league predictions were put in this morning, so now just gotta keep my fingers crossed :thumbs up: a bit more difficult with this race I think.I've changed my predictions based on the result of the Qualifying yesterday and may change it again depending on the result of the warm up today :Whistle:

[Gismo]

I noticed it was much colder for the warm up, lap times were in the 1 min 50 secs with Rossi 2nd, stoners qualifying time was just under 1 min 40 secs.
There were rain spots on the cameras too, i wonder if this is where the Ducati may be better suited??

Ooh decisions decisions for the fantasy league :lol:

Good race. Think it'll be a judgement call with the Marshall / Rossi / stoner incident

I think when your the GOAT and have 9 world titles in the bag, you've earned the right for the marshall's to pick your bike up first!! "Your ambission outweighed your talent!" big BIG statement from Casey Stoner!!

Good race, plenty entertainment, but gutted that neither Cal or Colin could get on the podium. Still, my man Nicky got on one of the steps so I'm not gonna complain too much!!

[Gismo]

Your ambission outweighed your talent!" big BIG statement from Casey Stoner!!That'll be in the papers tomorrow and as much as Stoner may be annoyed the move was there for Rossi to take, the dreaded front end issues for Ducati strike again.
A great race with loads of entertainment, i'll take a wet race every week.
Really think Rossi could have won today

[GCA3N]

What an awesome race, sat down with Kim and we both watched it this afternoon, this was her first race and she loved the drama. Gutted for Stoner too, but just added to the days drama.

I'm interested to find out what happened to Edwards tho:confused:
By his gestures it looks to me like something happened with the bike or did the front just fold on him :confused: When they were trying to move the bike it looked like the front brakes were locked on:thud:

Think his engine gave up the ghost Gordy :rolleyes:

And we wonder why the world is running out of funds! BBC Sport (http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/motorsport/12977584.stm)

If it doesn't affect the race outcome, then why bother, unless to fine Rossi, but it was a racing move for god sakes, get over it!

[zimbo]

I wonder if this is just to get to the bottom of why the majority of marshals raced to help Rossi only and only one or two helped Stoner to get ther bikes up and racing again? :rolleyes:

Whats this world coming too :frown:

Yeah, that's what I suspect...and the answer to save on the air fares? Rossi is the GOAT, so he gets all the help, once Stoner has won 9 world titles, then he'll get the marshalls racing to pick his bike up lol!
