Ooops, my mis-type. Twice infact. I blame the fact it's 1am here and the wine is yet again in play

Think it might be just that Toseland hasn't been here before. Learning a track takes time.

BTW,what's wrong with Stoner? Even I'm not his fan, it is very bizarre to watch him not in top 3(or top 5). Or maybe Vales's 2nd (Bridgestone 1st) in practice is rely more on his skill??

Just learned that he spilled it in the slow S on his first lap out the bloody amamture.
He's bike stalled and he had to use his second bike, something he dosen't like.
 
All Yamahas have the pneumatic engine now. Kawasakis are using the screamer... Honda is the only factory bike still running the spring valves...! I wonder when they switch to the pneumatic also, what will happen? Pedrobot disappearing in the distance?

Not yet. They have tested it, but it hasn't been used in competition yet.
 
Good to see Hayden towards the top of the running order on the first day. Looks good for him to have a good weekend if he can stay out of trouble.

Ducati don't seem to be able to provide 2 equivalent bikes even for stoner. As you say whenever he has to go to his second bike it seems to put him off at least for that session.

Assuming they do get it to work.

Stoners never liked running his second bike much though, i think its just part of his mentality more than the bikes being particularly different.

Elias' engine blew up and spilled hot oil on his foot and he had to see the doctor. Costa that is, not 46 :)

Btw.
Kawa are NOT using the screamer this weekend, they are back on the old one. That's directly from the garage so no doubt about that. Watching FP2 on Eurosport now.
 
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (bojuhl @ Apr 11 2008, 04:07 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>Does anybody know if Eurosport is available on Dish Network?

Not that I am aware of, the only coverage I get on my Dish Network here in the States is on Sunday on Speed Channel when they will broadcast first the 250 and then the GP race. Which is slightly better then last year, as they only showed the GP's on Sunday, 250s on Tuesday and 125's on the following Tuesday. They are still showing 125's one week later on tuesday, which sucks. I am downloading the Eurosports coverage of the 125's when its out there. Unfortunately, as you may know, the Speed Channel coverage is 1 hour with commercials, Eurosports coverage is much much better with more pre-race and post-race.

Right. Thought they were testing it in Portugal, but it seems not. I stand corrected...

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (bojuhl @ Apr 11 2008, 01:45 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>thanks. Yeah I watch all the speedtv stuff. I want to see them qualify.
if you have a fast connection get the motogp.com package. you get all the afternoon practice sessions & qualifiying sessions & races with no commercials or any kind of interupions. save for an occasional tech glitch....... you'll never watch it on tv again.
