Qatar test

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Austin @ Mar 2 2009, 08:26 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>And how can Stoner possibly go .6 quicker than Valentino? Insanity.


i know its crazy..... im glad stoner's wrist is looking good.

.6 means nothing and i dont really look at the tests or practice as rossi always seems to find the extra on race day

hopefully it will be a good season for us.

Keep in mind Jeremy 'the genius' Burgess did think Yamaha should have signed Casey before he jumped up to MotoGP....but the move was opposed by Vale....so if JB could see something back then....then I him getting so fast without any problems should come as no surprise....

One American at a time Migs, baby steps, don't overload yourself. I'll take what I can get...

Holy ...., sorry man. I went back to edit my post. Migs, do the same so we don't screw it up for others please.

(I should know better). Explanation: Unlike you lucky Euros, we don't get race two until tomorrow.

Poorboy, I'm gonna PM you a link where you can see race 1 & 2, and Supersport on demand right now as consolation for our screw up.

Pedosa:eek:
That is not a good sight at all.
<
He's a tough m'fer so I hope he can make it for the start of the season or else this could get realy processional and boring.

Yeah 35 laps for Nicky is very unlike himself.

JT and Edwards, I wonder what is going on in that pit box.

Suzis look okay, although they are pretty far off the pace of Stoner.


Race prediction. Stoner to win by 10 seconds. Rossi second by 6 seconds. The rest to follow.
<


Thought Dovi and Hohay would be closer to the pace of the leaders. Even Pedrosa had to push it too hard to try and get on that pace. Wonder what this season is going to be like
<
I hope the others riders find something soon or this season will be another sword in the side of MGP.
