Anyone hear that...........................??? That's right. Not one person bitching about the superiority of the Yamahas. All is right and the stars are alligned
. I predict another Yamaha domination for the race. ...., I'm actually rooting for Pedrobot to be a little quicker.
Let's move on to more important stories.
KALLIO .5 QUICKER THAN HAYDEN
Even brought the eternal hater Migs out of his hiding place. If Kallio is able to beat Hayden in the next three races should he replace him on the factory seat
. It would seem so wouldn't it
JT 11th?? - Slowest Yamaha, he is gone for sure.
All other Yamaha's are in the top 4.
Oh ...., and look at Fabi, definitely a good indicator of where Spies would be if he was in MOTOGP
Vermulen gone.
Melandri to Alex De Angelis
De Angelis to Canepa
Elias to ?
Yup, all this from free practice 1

Where would he be then?
The Yamaha's, especially the factory ones are absolutely insane, i too think i'm rooting for Pedrosa this weekend.
Kallio excellent and as it stands now seems too prove the Hayden fans who said he wasn't any faster wrong.
Gresini's really seem to be getting their act together and i really hope Melandri can imprve on his pace for the sake of keeping Kawasaki interested.

Poor Nicky, he must be kicking himself right now...good job tho on mika's behalf
As for JT, I agree...hes outta there. The yamaha is too good of a bike for him to be that low on the timesheet, especially when comparing him to edwards. Hes done

Supposing Kalio was faster at Brno. Would it make sense to re-order the team
based on results from just one race? Me thinks not.

Your trying to make me grab a double edged sword. If Kallio wins the race that would be awesome. It would also raise some eyebrows as to the kind of bike that Ducati is supplying Hayden.

It would be awesome if Kallio won, but it won't happen...
Ducati are doing what they can for Nicky, perhaps it is time Nicky did something for Ducati by delivering a win!

I don't see that happening this year. Although I wouldn't say that Hayden is doing nothing for Ducati. Contrary to some beliefs I think that Hayden can develope a very ridable bike. I think that he can develope the Ducati so that more than one rider can extort the hidden powers of the Ducati.
Anyways on with the Yamaha show.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE <div class='quotemain'>Suppo intends to test Mattia Pasini on Monday, as his 250 team is permanently broke and he doesn't know if he's got a ride race to race then it may be Pasini you see on the Pramac bike in Indianapolis.
Another bonzai rider with spots of brilliance going to test out the Ducati. I'm wondering if Suppo knows something about Stoner that we don't

Suppo knows he has to plan for the future.....Nicky is not the future for Ducati team, and Casey can't carry the team forever, so they need more options...
