I wouldnt look into the times to much hopefully it starts to dry out but I doubt it. damn you brits haha
 
I know it's way to early for much comment but 2nd place is kind of interesting. The other positions seem kind of normal for this weather but Hayden in the front 5? Hummnnn....

Is it supposed to be wet the whole weekend?

The two repsol hondas's first and second in FP2

It looks like rain may be the best for NH to get some valuable points.
 
dani fastest?? what the hell is happening to the world?
<



i hope nicky can back up his practise times with a podium, one can hope...
 
I called in late to work so i could watch the live feed...GO WEST! "The Rainman"
<


I guess Honda finally updated Dani's CPU for wet!
<


Also looks like the new Chassis is giving Nick a boost...nice of them to pass it along to the CHAMP after Dani tested it...
<



So my British friends....whats the weather looking like for Sat and Sunday? any hope for a dry Q and race??

Yup. Hayden was much improved at the recent test as well. A good result here could get him back on track. He typically doesn't do that well in the rain does he?

It lashed it down just before the second practice session and didn't really stop all the way through it. But it wasn't too bad it was fairly warm out. Hope the Forum boys took their brollies. My feet are still a bit wet

Hardly saw any bikes on the way there today either all cars and the queue for the campsite this morning was horrendous. But the queues had gone when we left.
