"Unfortunately I made a small mistake. I lost the front and got it pulled back, but then the bike got nervous and the front-end went again on a bump."
"I was frustrated by (Marco) Melandri holding me up. He was very hard on the brakes but overall I'm happy."
"There are lots of positives because I was very competitive with the top Italian riders on their home track and running a fast pace up front," Stoner said

all i could find on it

What'd you get? Tell us all about it. And what was I thinking not signing Valentino Rossi before Mugello. Given Nicky snagged a third but a win would've been better.

Team changes can now be made again
Ben.

I've changed Casey Stoner for Valentino Rossi, so that means I had to change the team and engine for lower ones.

P.S. Ben is there a special code to put the Fantasy League on a site?

Operation Ooompa destroy is now in full force


Ill show you what my luck can do

Good thing I had the money to get Rossi back... do what you will with the midget Katt. Just like to say his little skid at Istanbul insignificant compared to Crashey`s effort. ahh, Stoner, the guy is good at what he does, he crashes in style

Finnaly I was able to buy a good engine: i afforded ducati engine.. and i'm happy with the pick becouse even thow htey can't match honda htey can be on 2nd or 3rd and that brings back some point and cash then a non racing engine

My only change is Nicky in Edwards out unfortunatly. Gibbers stays put especially with Catalunya approching. Still need to save for a decent engine though as with none its losing me points.

Alex do you mean creating a siggy as a link to the site from another site??

If yes, you can do that and there is a code installed already in the Fantasy league section.

Thanks...
This was a tough one. I really wasn't sure if I should make some changes or not so I let it ride. Surprisingly enough it worked for me.

Congratulations Doc, you deserve it

thanks... still a lot of season left tho..

Once I have 39mill would it be a good buy to buy Nicky Hayden as he is in form at the mo?

For reasons I can't explain I picked up Nicky before Mugello over Rossi. Don't ask why, I honestly don't know. But it is getting to be the time of year when Nicky gets hot. I'm not sure if I would make the move before Catalunya as I don't recall how fond of the place he is or how he has gone in the past. But I know for sure he really enjoys Assen and has a fairly decent record there, loves Sachsenring and Laguna. All that and the fact most writers are saying Mugello was the best ride they've ever seen from Hayden, he looks to be in top form and set for some good results.

Wes you can do that now mate, get rid of JE less 10% and make up the trade difference getting NH, heck you have 21mill in the bin u could probaly go for Rossi.

On another note whats the news on Chas? I hear he lost his ride due to sponsership troubles is that correct?

I heard that too but then I read a report of the 250 race and it said he was racing. What's the deal Wes?

That was prob an incorrect report mate as he was commentating on eurosport!

Dazza If I sold Ellison with 10% release how much would I have?

Yes It is true about Chaz. It is in the MCN today

I have done it. NH as my number 1 rider and Stoner and number 2 so lets see me move up the ladder

Pretty bad day for my team (THANKYOU CASEY)

Let's hope in next race in Spain the Aussie can keep the bike on the black stuff 'cause I ain't got enough money to get rid of him.

I got Ben to reset my Fantasy League stats so I could start over (thanks Ben).

Rider 1: Valentino Rossi
Rider 2: Spare
Team: Repsol Honda
Engine: Not Racing
Tyre Supplier: Michelin

Should I be proud that you nicked my team? Next you'll be telling me you have no engine, LCR Honda team and Michelins.

Great, dropped two places from 49th to 51st.
