Lorenzo was either whinning like a little girl or attempting mind games, or both. Seems nothing can please these divas. Oh, track too bumpy, ok lets repave. Oh track to smooth. Wtf



Spies still looking good. Stoner, almost kills a gopher. Pedro sanbabbing most session, Nicky, still screwed by lack of $500 fork fix.

Levi, Aoyama not last. Abraham, hav daddy buy u a Jap bike. Bye Capi, its not ur fault, Suzuki/Ducati killed ur career. Bautista, let Elena ride the bike, she actually didnt look that bad.

C'mon Jumks

Leave Alvaro alone, Its not his fault! He got the best ride he could at a time when rides were lean to say the least!

Remember the nice rule lol

I think Rossi is sand bagging and will holeshot from 3rd row start due to there ingenious 2 wheel drive technology and special bridgestones flown in just for him after he gave them a spray earlier today, and will be pressured by CS and Lore but will drop them and race away to a comfortable win, reminding us why he,s 9 time world champion.



Lol....

So how long are you visiting with Talpa in his little fantasy world?

They should have had me come over to indy with my 600r. I would have been happy to scrub the track in.

I predict that hondas will be dominant, The yanks will find something at home (seems they are becoming the new Spanish )



I predict that Mental and his merry band of boners will sprout some new conspiracy on Rossis success, which will overtake the moon

landings and 9/11 as the most

ridiculous/mindless conspiracy theory of all time

and the topic of most ........ ever typed about

on a forum



I predict that the race will be another non event

akin to fp and qp

unless the hurricane happens to hit.....



I predict that the only things people will be talking about will be Ducatis latest attempted

band aid which brings another mediocre result

for Rossi and Hayden and how the musical

chairs game will end for Motegi and the one less

remaining factory Honda seat.......who will risk it

all.........



Seriously though, Dorna are lucky they have the off track drama this season and last, otherwise

they would need to start hiring some script

writers with a talent for fictionalization and dirty

tricks that rivals some of murdochs drones.....

The new guy has a prediction .



1. The 3 Repsol Honda's , both factory Yamaha's will have to DNF to help get a Ducati on the podium .



Sound about right ? He He !



Spies is on fire right now but there's an FP3 + QP to go yet . We will be able to glean more insight tomorrow. Possible rain included but i don't know. Indiana is a good ways inland.

i only dropped in for a minute. Did it show !!



Seriously though dani will have a nothing to loose attitude and doesnt need to "help casey out" as cs has a dnf and them some back to Lore.



Dani

Lore

Casey

Sic



A podium finish for CS is all he needs especially at a freshly resurfaced track..

That sounds like the perfect job for you Talpa!



My prediction for you is more uncontrollable sobbing after the race.....quickly followed by intense bitterness and a visit to the Powerslide forum where you can ..... and moan about the state of MotoGP and the grim outlook for your hero

Actually talpa, you should be grateful for 2006, 2007 and (if casey wins the title) 2011, because the "bad guys" winning demonstrates that whether they would like to or not, dorna et al are not scripting things, and this equally applies to all the titles your boy won.

Well, its not worth taking the time to post when the people with no lives and over 13,000 just laugh at your post and talk a whole bunch of crap. I did not talk .... about Spies, I said that his time was more than 3 seconds off of the circuit record. Obviously they were getting used to the pavement and getting rubber on the track and such, so I meant that the results probably don't mean that much to who will do well this weekend.

I thought your point that the lap times in fp1 would bear little relation to the final lap times with more rubber down was valid. However the fastest guy in the conditions is still the fastest guy in the conditions, and the conditions being bad makes being fastest more meritorious if anything.
