<{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>Even apart from the rossi yamaha looking as good if not better overall than the ducati now, or that rossi is riding like god or a 24 year old valentino rossi (if these are different) I don't think that stoner can see out a full race on the hyperdrive setting he needs to successfully compete with valentino. He said on australian radio today that he has bits of bone spread through his wrist and will require a bone graft when he has surgery.
That's not good – he does short runs in FP’s then starts well and fades in the race…might have to change to Rossi (1) Stoner (2)
Hey I'm in Melbourne at the wife's sister place (Sandringham). My brother in law is here and he drives a Volvo and doesn't know what a motorcycle is. He’s an IT guy. He once rang me up and said
" Do cats have one black round thing at each end and some coloured bits in the middle and make a vrrrrrrr sound (not good on onomatopoeia)
I said no,
He said “ jaspers, I just ran over a dog then”.
It’s raining and there is a 50km/h wind blowing here at the moment. Showers are predicted for Sunday so it may suit a certain CV who jumped into second here a couple of years ago and who has the new gear.
Landing from our flight (50k/mh wind) was hairy, the pilot was standing near the door looking sheepish while we were disembarking so I asked him "did we land or can I brag that I’ve been shot down now?"
He called me a ......!
Ready for Sunday!
