Get hype libby this will be a great shot at a podium for JLo. I'm sure unveiling the new down force front bumper was a test before this weekend. Sounds like he also tested it after the race. The new contenders will rise to the top this weekend. I bet JLo will lead early

1.Dovi
2. Marc
3.Mav
4.Danilo
5JLo
 
(not Libby but also hoping for JLo to finally come through...)

I really, really hope and want JLo to make it good. My faith is waning

1. Dovi
2. Petrux
3. Marky

At least Nick Harris will probably beable to say Red Bull Ring. Has anyone actually pointed out to him there is no U in Brno. I once had a horse called Bruno.

Hope to god this freaking fairing works. Something has to.
 
I have been critical of JLo in the past but he has shown me a lot about his character this year. He genuinely seems happier at ducati than sharing a pit with Rossi. I also think one of the reasons Yamaha is struggling is because they don't have his metronomic data. I see him in a total different light now.

Mariaquez von Trapp ( whilst singing " the hills are alive with my honda music" )
George von Trapp ( doh a Duc .... a female Duc )
Rossimarie von Trapp. ( whilst singing "how do you solve a problem like Mariaquez" )

Stoner will be on the farm with the family up in the hills singing " high on a hill lived a lonely GOATherd .... "

He does ride a pile of crap. And my point was he looks happier riding a turd than riding the perfect bike for him with a ...... teammate. I picked Dovi to win this weekend. I even said in my prediction JLo will lead then drop back to 5th. So are you quoting me to agree or??

I think he may be singing, So Long Farewell, though Im not sure if he's singing about himself or Rossi's chances for #10

It just wouldn't be a normal GP weekend without Harris arsing something up though....the funniest bit of the Czech GP was listening to the .... announce to the world what a shame it was that Abraham had crashed out of his home race when anyone with half a brain could see it was Bautista in the gravel trap....

His partner was telling him it was Bautista, and he still persisted it was Abraham

I'd have thought it obvious, I agree, but I only have reservations about his overall ability, ie nil, a bit like all one bike type riders, brilliant on one, a real failure at any other.

He was a rather handy 250 rider.

Although I am a fan I tend to agree he has become too specialised in his latter career, in terms of all three of bikes, conditions and particularly tires. As I keep saying, while not being suited by bikes and conditions is his problem, I can't see why he can't have tires which suit him.

He most definitely needs a certain type of bike. Ducati is definitely doing all they can to satisfy his needs and he looks genuinely happy be their efforts. I would never in a million years thought thats how he would take it. With that said he has a good shot at a few podiums late in the season starting here then silvertone, aragon, japan, malaysia, and phillip island. All tracks ducati does alright at. I think he will podium at least one or more of these races.

Anybody want to hazard a guess as to what this is mounted on the front of Dovi's bike? Mainly - it's a battery, but what else and for what purpose?

Looks like two wide axial fans. Bottom one looks like it blows into air intake. Top one ... hard to tell but just looks like it blows onto fairing .... unless theres a hole under the white fan outlet. Not just cooling for a running but not moving bike?

Kinda what I figured. I'm not a big tech guy - so no clue as to what's being cooled at that part of the bike. You'd think, if they're only using it when the bike is in the garage, they'd just run a flexible tube from a bigger fan or compressor.

Are you talking about Ducati, or groupies at a Guns and Roses show
