!!!The stars at night are big and bright
Deep in the heart of Texas
The prairie sky is wide and high
Deep in the heart of Texas
The sage in bloom is like perfume
Deep in the heart of Texas
Reminds me of the one that I love
Deep in the heart of Texas
The coyotes wail along the trail
Deep in the heart of Texas
The rabbits rush around the brush
Deep in the heart of Texas
The cowboys cry, "Ki yippee yi!"
Deep in the heart of Texas
The dogies bawl and bawl and bawl
Deep in the heart of Texas !!!
SPIES .......!!!

And it was those first few breaths of Tennessee air that made him what he is today.

Not sure why all the Marco hate being tossed around, cause he and Rossi struggling are the only real draws to watching MotoGP this season. I'm loving Marco's heart for winning....and his attitude off the track. That and also how he's getting a certain Aussie members panties in a twist.....

It was a snorefest...glad Spies won his first race...shame it was gifted and not fought for.......zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Cause he's slower than Lorenzo....cause he's a well paid test rider for the Ducati B-teams (not for Rossi).....cause he rides for a pay check and not the win or the title...and Cause Lorenzo is a Champion that earned his title unlike....
And there it is, I just knew there would be one or two in the crowd.

Suppo's behavioral conditioning seems to have worked!

Thank you for the acknowledgement of my insane conspiracy theory - Marco is now being fed pastries by a bikini girl whilst getting one of those fancy hairdresser shampoo's.
Seriously - Marco is a fool, albeit a fool who is very fast on a bike

At the end of the day Stoner was always going to win the title
........! on two counts...
1/ You're as contradictory as you and your mate Rob, a typically fickle Valentino bandwagon jumper similarly dedicated to discrediting Stoner as a national sport. Let's remind ourselves, that was the guy who due to the impotency of his arguments and inability to debate, resorted to flinging personal insults at Jum and then conveniently disappeared during the run up to Silverstone - after pledging to be there - but went to ground when it transpired that Jumkie was actually going to cross the pond. Typical yellow anti-climatic ....... tosser. You both maintained at the start of this season that Casey was a spent force and lacked the continuity and consistency to be a title contender wholly ignorant of the innate design flaws of the Ducati and the stubborn, intransigent developmental ethos in Bologna that he had to contend with - and initially hampered your idol.
2/ Dani Pedrosa is out of the equation. As you say he is on the treatment table. Are you suggesting that pre-season you had written off his championship bid.? Show me your post that predicted that Casey was always going to win the title. Don't conveniently revise your opinions when they are entirely contrary to those that you spouted pre season.

Piss off you ....... armchair 'expert'. You do it then you ct. How the .... can you assume to know what was going on underneath him? That race was Jorge's. Yamaha masterfully exploited their historical strength which is a nimble flickable smooth handling bike - and an amenable set up and with the Honda's unable to exert their staightline grunt, Spies M1 majestically glided away from the pack - as Povol say's brilliantly dominant on a cold tyre through enhanced feel. Coupled with this, the way I read it, the late substitution of rear shock on the grid gave Lorenzo perhaps the most emphatic set up advantage we've seen all season.
At Silverstone Nicky stuck in the fastest lap of the race - on a bike that you and your cohorts have deemed 'unrideable' in respect of your hero. Where was the raft of changes on Nicky's side of the garage which have been conveniently prescribed in the Doctors clinic this weekend?

Why would he have finished 7th? Is there another rider out there that I didn't see?. Imo he would have finished 5th if lorenzo hadn't been taken out, since factoring simoncelli in to finish on the podium if he dosen't make a riding error is an absoluely huge "if" since he always makes an error if he rides at podium pace, demonstrated by him never getting on the podium at this level.
I guess there have been some advances in motogp this year; simoncelli has refined stoner's "win it or bin it" strategy of last year to "bin it or bin it". He has also in this race actually justified lorenzo's ( and stoner's about the first corner at estoril) complaints about him.
Great ride by ben, untouchable on the week-end and probably would have had pole as well without capirossi going down in qualifying.
Sic is destroying the championship, knocking down Pedrosoa who can challenge Stoner, and now Lorenzo who is a title contender. If he and Lorenzo had been in the mix in the front, the race must have been more interesting. He is fast, but very light headed and cannot be a world champ. He is also helping his pal Rossi by making him looking better by knocking down the fast guys in front of him. He should join Ducati and swap the seat with Nicky. He will be more careful riding Ducati. It is the only way the ..... can learn lesson.
Agree with most of this, it was a racing incident, but you can't have racing incidents every race, something called judgement which simoncelli appears to completely lack comes into it.
I will count this as a net 14 point gain for stoner as jorge may have beaten him in this race, to offset the net 30 loss at jerez, so stoner should still be further ahead of lorenzo than he is, jorge's dnf at le mans being his own doing. Stoner actually said something interesting in a pre-race interview on australian TV, saying that everyone more or less is allowed 1 dnf a year due to their own riding error, and he had used up a dnf through no error of his own at jerez; pretty much how I saw it, and why I and probably he were so annoyed about jerez.
Promising I would have thought, he was at least as fast as previously with no development and limited dry practice time this week-end to sort the thing at all, if still a long way off honda factory (dovi) pace, since there is little doubt in my mind anyway that he would be faster than dovi on a factory honda. The real thing is whether he likes the basic "feel" of the thing in the dry, whether it is still prone to random front end loses etc, concerning which j4rno raised some doubts. I am convinced both the GPig10 and GPig 11 are undevelopable/unsortable, and any limited success achievable depends on riding in a manner contrary to rossi's riding style (probably its polar opposite) and hence karel's bike would not be better for him.

You would be flattered were you to be compared Zippy the chimp, who both has a better chance of
being elected and evinces superior skills than yourself as regards spelling and grammar.
Stoner tacitly admitted this, more so than he would have with lorenzo. Once spies was out of range (I use the word advisedly) of simoncelli which he managed off the line the race was his; lorenzo was the only one who may have challenged him, although ben seemed to have the pace/set-up over him all week-end prior to the race.
Stoner never wins dry races except on the hard tyre. I don't think the way he likes to set-up a bike, his stiff chassis preference and his riding style meld with the bridgestone soft, as evidenced by him getting relatively little advantage from the soft tyre in qualifying even on week-ends when he is really "on". Fortunately dorna can't use this to nobble him, since his and rossi's tyre preferences are similar.
Pretty much my take on assen, spies achieved a great set-up for the track and conditions and rode brilliantly, but I am not sure it necessarily means any improvement in yamaha's bike overall . Spies will be up there from now on though, whether due to his texas origins or not he does not take backward steps.
