wow..Alex Hofmann in the top five as well. Thats interesting..

I agree, its good to see Hofmann not far behind the other Ducati boys, he is making progress already. A home win in Germany perhaps? Or any strong finishes would be nice really. But racing is another thing all together, so i wont get too excited about who does/doesn't show promise.

It also seems like the Suzuki isn't working well in PI (no grip apparently). It would seem like maybe the suzuki doesn't work great everywhere so maybe they will be a bit inconsistent. Or maybe, they have found their way back to their natural placing, and normal service is resumed. Bring on day 3...........

when pigs fly more than likely.

yes, getting ahead of myself a bit. I do like it when new winners emerge, but i think i'll have to wait a little wile longer for this one.

Blimey have to say the Honda's don't look in good shape . However I would like to see KR's bike higher up the grid.
