LOL! At least it is a smile.
 
It's a shame that Nicky never got to ride the place in the days it 'went left'

Will Randy actually get to complete a lap of a race here for the first time ever?

This is one of the few race circuits on the planet that the Suzuki's actually work, but I shouldn't have thought we'll see them both finish in the top ten again this year.

The usual three, Vale, Jorge, Dani, in that order, then Dovi, plus a decent showing from Marco. Be great if Nicky can get in the top five - it's Toni's turn to be at the sharp end, perhaps with Colin and Capi...leaving the usual mid pack scrap between RDP, De Angelis, JT, and Vermin.

Passini needs another win in 250, and is from Rimini -which is a spit up the road, but so is Simoncelli, so he ain't gonna get one.

Bradders, Terol, and Simon could all take a win here, but I'll say Andrea Ian'noname' for 125 race.

Agree.

All the brass from Bologna will be there. Lots of pressure on Nicky tomorrow.

I just hope they get through the first lap clean (basically what Nicky said in the post qual interview) I can't stand it when all this hype for a race ends early for somebody in the first few turns.

Will there be anybody going off in the first lap? God I hope not. Rossi looks untouchable here.

God help us if he wins. The Rossi Faithful will be untenable.

Holy crap. That's bad.

Hey Lex, you would know about these things. I contend that the Euro tracks were changed to go mostly with right turn bias so as to deter 'flat track' background dominance. What do you think of my theory? I was reminded of my theory when Nicky was struggling in T3 today, which is a fast right but was crushing times in T4. What does the Lex-files say?

EDIT

You know I'm not going to shoot down an interesting theory. Although, it was mainly Australian dominance that caused them the commercial rights holder's the most consternation. You already know what I think about Dorna's treatment of Casey Stoner.

Anyway, if they did change more tracks to run clockwise so as to end American/Australian dirt track dominance, they are now trying to reverse the effects of their heinous ethnocentricity. Now Dorna are trying to add more anti-clockwise American rounds to help get more Americans involved.

Typical GP. Overreact and then backtrack.

Actually I meant to edit my post and just say "flat track" and leave out the "American" part (as I'm sure this will simply add to the bias of my theory.)

Disclaimer: I have not research my theory, it was more like just a hunch. Yes, a bias one at that.
 
for the sake of the championship, i really hop rossi crashes out.

may we see the ... of the donkey in the next race???

expect either a dismal first corner crash, or another standout ride...

rossi will take this one with pedro, dovi and jorge scrapping for the other 2 places..

sorry to quote myself but i nearly got it spot on. whoohoo!

and as much as i dont like uber-troll, he did have one good point. qualify higher up the grid and get a good start to miss all the first corner bottle-neck mayhem. it sucks for nicky and colin and randy but if they had been 5 metres further up the road, it may have not ended they way it did....
