Its RdP's half home track. Well he lives here for a lot of the year ..... and his missus will beat him if he doesn't perform.

I cringed when Casey went down. Wow, that could have ended real bad. Lucky he landed ok. To bad the rain came in the last two minutes, I think he might have taken his pole lap down significantly more.



Ducati needs to quit GP.



Lorenzo would be smart to keep his cool and continue to manage the title. Yes, not spectacular stuff, but titles are more important than pride.



Can somebody tell me more about Kris Mclaren. I don't feel like googling tonight.



Last point, can we ask for a ban on the mandatory VR picking his ... out of pit lane shots we are subjected to every ....... session please!
 
Kris shouldn't be there. There are a lot of Aussie riders I would have given that spot to ahead of him.



He's the wildcard of convenience. I understand they offered to Damian Cudlin again but he had something else on (like rearranging his sock drawer instead of getting lapped twice then hitting the kitty litter).











Edit: 1 The arse shots are there so Carmen can see his dessert.

Totally agree Jums, although I do see a potential sponsorship opportunity for Combantrim or some similar product (anti-worming tablets)

I'm happy for Hayden that he's finally a #1 rider, but also fear that the old saying, "Careful what you wish for, you just might get it!" applies.

Ducati is a disgrace.

Well...if Nicky is number 1 now and going into 2013 then we can see his legendary development skills take the Duc back to glory.....Shame he was out qualified by a CRT though....

the utter indignity, perhaps he should quit?



He should be ashamed that his teammate can use his settings better than him.

No, Jum, everybody needs Ducati to stay. Last thing we need is another manufacturer quitting.

I hope Hayden will change bike, so you'll stop blaming Ducati when your hero doesn't perform.

On the other hand, regarding Rossi and his groin&... picking ritual, it' easy to agree with you. He's free to do it, but it need not go on air. Enough.

I don't know? ....... imagine ...... no more ride for Hayden ....... no more drunken, incoherent, pointless, puerile, needy sociopath, pathetic 5,000 word ramblings ......... or worse still!! sober ramblings!!!!!!

Ok, so CS has one final hurdle to get the fairytale ending, his endurance.



Can he finish 20 sec clear of the field & put the final nail in the coffin of 2012? Or...would that not be boring?

Substitute 5000 word ramblings for 5000 smilies & that will be you next year.

Maybe Nicky should call a press conference and point to his broken still healing hand. That worked for half a year for VR when he wanted to deflect attention to his poor performance.

No worries buddy, I'll just say what you said for two years, Ducati hasn't done anything to improve the bike.

Agree, yes ritual, we get it, but lets just switch cameras.

Well, Nicky has been trying to match his "goat" teammate all year.
 
Since Le Mans is off the schedule which circuit will name a gravel trap after RDP when he retires





Stoner was injured 2 months ago and yet hes had a miraculous recovery in the week between Malaysia and PI.

How remarkable that he was able to heal up in front of his home crowd.

Whats even more remarkable is that his employer still pays him to be a gutless tool

Why would he bother to do that? No-one is interested.

No need to. He'll be fine at week 8 of his injury. Week 7 wlll still be a hinderance but rest assured week 8 is when the healing kicks in.

He never said he was recovered, on the contrary he stated his ankle hurts more than it did post Japan/Sepang etc.... What u talking about?

At least he doesn't link excuses. What was it? Leg then shoulder then bike? or was it shoulder then leg then bike? Sorry i can't remember so well but after some time lame excuses tend to lose sense.
