Rossi seems to have taken that Le Manns confidence and ran with it! Glad he´s not a home field warrior.



Anyone find it strange for a french rider to ride for a team called "Racing Team Germany?"
 
Nah, money talks and they're both on the Euro.



How's that weather lookin'?

Raining during warm up - grip was non existent. This track is ludicrously susceptible to changes in temperature - currently 32 degrees C ambient 25 degrees C. Everything's fine when the weather's like it was over FP and qualifying but throw some variable temperatures in and the odd rain shower the place becomes an ice rink. Don't want to see another crash fest like Jerez and Le Mans. Looks to be dry now.



I can't recall an early season so blighted by rain.
 
Thanks guys. Hope it doesn't get too wet. Le Mans was interesting, but I hope we can see a dry track and some good racing and high speeds today...

Spalding was saying there is still a lot of rubber deposited only a fortnight ago by 'Snormula' 1. When it rains the track becomes very greasy.
 
Coverage just started on my TV. Track looks ok with some sunshine. I guess that can change pretty quick...
 
Does anyone know the lap time/speed difference between last years 125 two-strokes and this years 250 four strokes? Just curious...
 
Moto 3 finished the race about 30 seconds faster than 125 last year. Great race by the winner! and 2-9 was amazing!
 
Thanks Bat. I thought the moto3 class looked faster. Plus the bikes don't look so puny! Yeah, a great race.
 
very intelligent ride by cortese. i can only imagine having pain in my right hand and then having to outbrake 6 other riders all the time, must have been really hard but he still managed to do it and when the time was right pull a little gap. kudos
