    Hmm, Stoner at the front again and Rossi really struggling, the qualifying will be very interesting.

    Can't help but think that Rossi won't accept not having the potential to win races and stay if there isn't a big turnaround by the end of the season, unless the 2012 bike is much better.

    In any event, it'll be an interesting race as will the 125 and Moto2

    Going to be an interesting weekend obviously weather permitting .. Although that could well play into the hands of "side show Bob" ..
    Stoner certainly coming back into form although not too sure that some are off their game rather than Stoner being above his ..
    Rossi will be struggling to get anything this year at all & it shows .. There's no way Rossi has got that bad in a few months & unless the new Ducati is going to significantly better than his current bike he'll struggle to get above 7th overall this season .. I think unless Rossi see's that there'll be some significant chance of keeping up with the Honda's then he might want to leave ..
    You only need two tools in life WD40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn't move and should use WD40 and if it moves and shouldn't use Duct Tape.

    Well, Rossi aint gonna be happy with that
    Hard luck for Crutchlow too, broken collarbone, he'll be out for a few weeks and just when he was rising up the board as well

    Mmmm tomorrows race is going to be interesting , cant believe how Stoner takes that last corner, leaning right over over the kerb at full pelt!!!

    Sideshow bob is going to give stoner a run for his money this weekend I reckon

    Real shame about Cal crashing out when he did at least it wasnt anything more serious.

    With Pedrosa and Crutchlow out it makes the fantasy predictions on who will be in the top 15 easier only 15 riders, so, just gotta work on who will be 1st, 2nd, 3rd etc

    I think the weather could play a big part in the finishing order today .. Wet
    1. Simoncelli
    2. Stoner
    3. Lorenzo
    Dry
    1. Lorenzo
    2. Stoner
    3. Spies/Dovizioso
    Don't think Rossi will even get close today going by practice laps yesterday .. Although if it starts dry then rains could be interesting if bike changes are required ..

    Did you register for the fantasy league on MotoGP.com? good fun
    Rossi crashed during this mornings warm up, be lucky if he gets in the top 8, depends on whether others crash in front of him and he stays upright

    No not registered for the fantasy league but maybe should've !! Been good fun if nothing else .. Yeah Rossi down in the wet for no apparent reason straight line braking in the wet shouldn't cause you to come off .. Not like Rossi just shows how temperamental the bike has been this season so far .. Watched Rossi interview who admits that the Ducati is difficult to ride which says something especially coming from Rossi .. Says he fancies a shot at the world superbikes is that him admitting defeat now on the Ducati ?

    Hmm, i think that bike is very hard to control and so far Stoner has been the only one to be able to ride it consistantly
