Cancelled thats goto suck if your actually a paying customer, that and I had it set to record as I will deffo miss qually for once!
 
That did suck but it didn't seem to be Motorland's fault. From what I've been able to gather from Spanish TV and tweets from people involved, there was an initial problem at a substation (not at the track) which was repaired but then caught on fire. A replacement transformer was brought from Zaragoza, but that went down shortly after being installed. Interestingly, Pramac had offered to bring one of their generators up to fix the problem, but theirs were all located further afield. I honestly had no idea what they did aside from their involvement with MotoGP.



Considering the involvement of the regional government in this circuit, and the fact that it was constructed recently, presumably taking electricity supply and demand into account, I would be surprised if it turns out to be due to any fault of Motorland.



[EDIT: this all turned out to be wrong, the fault was at the track. Krop explained it well here: http://bit.ly/nhfaA3]



Just as an aside, the Spanish power grid is not as flaky as it used to be, although it depends a lot on where you are in Spain. Some parts almost never get black-outs, and here in Valencia I have had maybe one a year. What I do seem to get a lot all over the country are brown-outs. And wiring here is so bad that it's a miracle people aren't getting fried on a daily basis. I've lived in six flats around Spain and none of them were even earthed when I moved in.

The same guy that attempted to change Jumkie's tire at Laguna, must be an electrician also. He just travels the GP circuit as a jack of all trades troubleshooter.

Hahaha Ah what a great memory that was, ....... was tying to remove a hub cap with an alan wrench.





Hey, maybe they should return to Indy, no such problems with power at that circuit, eh.

Pete! Hahaha. "All f..ing penguins must f..ing hang." (movie quote)
 
Throws a bit of a spanner in the works as far as predictions go... something tells me Ducati were rather hoping to get some decent data to look at over night... I hope Jorge can pull something out of the bag just to make it seem as though things are still alive at the front - not looking too likely though.

Word is they wont have power on for a while. In the meantime they will be hooking up hamster wheels to spin the generators for temporary power. The problem is all the hamsters in Aragorn were bought out yesterday by a tall skinny dark haired Italian guy.

Hey listen guys, between this stuff and full metal jacket I have been laughing my freckle off.



Keep it up, a bedridden cripple like me really appreciates it.
 
I have a bad feeling about this race, i would love for Stoner to wrap up the title ASAP but i have the feeling i'm going to suffer until near the end of the WC.



People (me included) think that if Stoner could win on the Duc last year he should be able to win this time around, blind-folded and all. BUT i don't see it like this 100% at all. As stoner says the Duc has a really small sweet spot but if you can find it the bike is a ...... bullet, well he found it last year at aragon but he was the only guy capable of making a bullet out of the red POS. This year there are 1.5 riders out there capable of riding his same bike as fast as him on serveral occasions and another one at Yamaha capable of doing the same, I think i just explained myself like .... but you peoples should be able to understand what i ment to say.



It won't be a walk in the park at Motorland for CS this i am sure of. (hope i'm wrong, really really do)

Pete loves Hopper. All he did when I had the pleasure of sleeping next to him on Arrabs floor was sleep talk about his deviant fantasies he has about John and how he would love to keep him in a Gimp suit locked in a barn on the Orkney Islands.....
