Maybe not, 20% chance at race time. Lets hope for dry. I dont mind wet races, but this is getting old fast.

The weather site I looked at said there was 50 and 80% chance of rain for thursday and friday respectively, hopefully they get at least 1 or 2 dry sessions to work out a dry set up
Rossi
Hayden
Colin Edwards.
Nicky will pass stoner with a block pass. Stoner will lose his temper and try to punch nicky mid corner. he will miss and fall off taking out his best buddy lorenzo. Powerslide will have a new most users record.
i hope rossi carhses and breaks his legs (plural) and retires and cries off to wsbk in 2012 to beat on biaggi and checa again

Podium for rossi. Both valentino and nicky are saying the gp12 and hence likely the gp11.1 felt good from the start and markedly different than the recent/previous pig.
Comments from rossi and stoner about ducati development on kropotkin's site. My advice to casey would be to shut up and keep riding as he has been, but I don't know what he was asked and by whom. The judgement may be in as to whether the gp10/11 was developable, with the verdict apparently negative, but evidence on whether stoner can develop probably awaits his future career with honda.

edwards has told hayden to stop sucking on rossis balls and demand equal treatment. same thing as stoner said a week earlier. hahahaha lets see the reaction to edwards comments.. i bet not one peep.
I found them to be fair comments?
He gave credit to Ducati for trying with him, but stated what everyone knows, that having Rossi, draws more money for them to spend.
Or did i miss the point of your statement?
I don't think he said anything unfair or wrong either, just that he doesn't need to justify what he did or didn't do at ducati, depending of course how directly he was asked and how much he was pressed for his opinion. It would seem as I said that the 2010/11 ducati was undevelopable even by the very best, and hence not proof that casey can't develop, but it definitely was not proof that he can develop either. I personally am more interested in him winning and riding than I am in him developing, except in so far as the latter impacts on the first two aspects.
Ah ok, understand now.
So its raining.... and live timing seems to be having problems.
Anyone pay to have live video and know whats going on?
Rossi is flying on the new bike...........that extra 200cc looks like its the answer Ducati has been looking for.
With 8 mins to go in FP1...
Is Rossi quicker because of the bike or is it simply a track that he favors more?

Shut up you ..... Complaints about what? Rules that havent been broken?
Dont expect Rossi to be quite as competitive in the dry, good to see him up there though.
I know i know, it's a de-caffed 1000 down to 800 cpacity but it's stilll a 1000, just a legal one though.
No basis really, i just made that up.
Peace.
PS: i'm not a ..... ^^ he is though. (not chopperman the buy bellow him)
