Brno Practice and Qualifying

Back to the topic

It seems very very wet
Still CS is miles ahead of everyone

Good grief?!?!
Isn't this supposed to be the Quali thread?!

Mega rain in Brno but should be sunny tomorrow.
Vale's got the flu. Where'd I put that nurse outfit????

It's not about the Indians or India. It's Australians poking fun at ourselves - we sure do talk funny. That's all.

And yes it was condescending to everyone, once I have my 6th red and 2nd beer I tend to throw the baby out with the bathwater (do not take this literally – it is figurative)

Now back to the topic at hand

Wet QP?

CV currently running up there with Vale and Casey and HOPKINS!!!!!

I just stole it...

i only have live timing here, but from what i've been seeing i reckoned it is raining

SG was so good without TC in the wet Sachsenring but heis 5 sec off CS pace here.

EDIT

The track is totally flooded

India & in to ya rhyme, it aint offensive. Jeeze.
Back to the bike racing. Before somebody cries.
I never knew Hopkins was good in the wet.

My broadband is giving me hell (it reacts to users over.05 I guess), but is Hopkins running better laps than everyone else using those fluorescent teeth as headlights?

Are we looking at the wet race upset of the new millennia????

Or will he "Pedro" and chuck it down the road?

Vr just dropped it or is it JLo??

Can anybody confirm?

Can anyone see this on TV?
The only thing Eurosport is going to show from this weekend is the race,no preparations.

You ever been to India?

This is what I was talking about and I’ve cut and paste the numbers so you can read them.

This is from FP2 in Laguna

Sequence 1 is a 14 lap sequence from Casey

128 1'22.563 21.767 17.022 19.146 24.628 255.4
29 1'21.826 21.540 16.911 18.969 24.406 250.3

Sequence 2 is an 8 lap sequence from Valentino.

17 1'23.210 22.109 17.134 19.174 24.793 256.8
18 1'23.206 21.844 17.184 19.201 24.977 257.3
19 28'46.768 P 23.850 17.743 19.507 27'45.668 252.6

I did a little more back checking and there are a lot of these in dry races (FP2 was dry at Brno)

And there is tracks where they dont. First of all, consider that Brno is a lot longer than LC.
Then check out Mugello, Catalunya, China portugal.... and you won't find any of those doing anything near 12-13 laps (adjusted to Brno track legth)
In fact Rossi has a maximum of 10 laps including in and out lap and had that twice but both were on much shorter tracks. That would transfer to 7-8 laps at Brno. Rossi did a 7 lap stint.
Lets get some more numbers: Average maximum length stint in FP2 between Rossi and Stoner this year are 7.8 That is not adjusted for the legth of Bruno that should easily bring it down to about 6-7 laps adjusted for Brno. You might now realize that Rossi's 7 laps are spot on or above average maximum length during FP2.
You use Stoners mega 15 lap stint at LC as "proof" while you should have observed that he had two stints before that without any fast-laps at all, wasting lots of time and despite his long stint had the fewest laps by a margine. Add to that, you won't find anyting even close to that from stoner on any other track. I'd call that unusuall. in statistics that's a typical anomality that you would exclude to get a more reliable result as it is way outside the norm.

In other words there is absolutly no hold what so ever in your wild theory based on stint legth as it is perfectly NORMAL.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE <div class='quotemain'>Look, you don’t really like me because (IMO)
a- I am an Australian
b- I am a Casey fan

BUT at least I can count.
I had no disliking towards you until now. NOW you forced me to look into the numbers to actually prove my point with indisputable facts and going through all the results take a lot of time. Wasted time as I was right from the start. So now I dislike you for being a stubborn ....... that CAN NOT COUNT and or are using more than a little speculative number to "prove" your point. Either you are so dumb that you can't see the difference betweeen a long and a short track or you are willing to overloock that fact that your numbers just arn't comparable. Take your pick.
Your Aussi/Casey thing is spreading as a common problem amoug your fellow nationals. Blame it on casey. Jeezz that is just so incredably pathetic.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE <div class='quotemain'>What I said is speculation but you’ve not debunked that one little bit.
I'll leave that to others to decide.
I think your numbers talk as clearly as only numbers can, but in the right perspective that is.

So to sum it up it looks like that was pure speculations based on anything BUT facts.

I dint see teh replay properly, by the colours, it seems to be VR and i saw him removing his leathers and teh next shot teh camera switched to CS (sitting pretty alone). Seems teh guys hasn't recovered yet

None of the top guys seems to be coming out , so the standing pretty much seems to be this

CS
VR
Hopper
CV
De Angelis
De Punt
