Yeah, I was just wondering what the hell. I mean the guy is like feast or famine. Very impressive today. What will tomorrow bring?
 
Hayden seems doomed. Less practice time, then a engine letting go. Doesn't look good. BTW, What's up with Kalio? Did he have a mechanical or something I didn't see?


I must say, after watching that Italian feed, man they got it made. I'm moving to Italy.

They are interviewing Capi, geez 20th season for this guy! Wow.

Ok, looks like 250s are up. I love Justintv!

Good question. Seemed to be performing where you'd expect him to be: 2nd Ducati and top rookie....rather than above what you'd expect like he did yesterday. Qualifying will be interesting

Are you being sarcastic? WTF

I was just expecting him in a higher order.
 
Bizarre. I am not sure what it means for the race, all of this may still be the phoney war, and rossi and stoner from what I could discern from justin.tv didn't necessarily look to be pursuing the same agenda.

I wonder how strong melandri's contract is with dornasaki/hayate/whomever. One suspects honda wouldn't mind having him. Whilst I guess he has every incentive to try flat out and grab some attention in these sessions he looks very different to last year.

Why can't anyone else ride the ducati?. I am among the first to say stoner is good but surely he can't be this much better, particularly given that melandri looks like he is shapeshifting back into a top-flight motogp rider.

Credit to dani for putting in the effort riding injured.
(EDIT) Didn't realise hayden had blown an engine ; I agree he must be cursed since 2006.

LOL. I guess that was my point - to think about what you said a bit. We have started to expect him to be higher because he's been doing better than he himself expected. However, he was still 2nd Ducati and top rookie. So in the bigger picture being lower in the order is still performing well in what's a learning year

wonder who this was...

dam if he was in factory kit id say that was stoner cornering on mm's of side tyre


he does have almost the same possitioning as stoner and the ducati behaves smoothly for him like it does stoner to.

tell you who i would like to see on the ducati to see what he can do is de angelis.. i have a feeling he could get on with that bike

Well no need to get sarcastic with me my friend. I like Kalio, and said so while he was on 250s. He's a great talent and I have nothing but good things to say about him. Are you Finish? Is that why you took the comment as a dig?

Anyway, great picture, that's an amazing lean angle and is reminiscent of Casey.
 
125's out on track.

I think this will be between the Aspar riders Gadea and Simon this year - (Martinez wants that title back), with Ia'no-name' and Terrol also being very fast at selective circuits.

Bradley needs to come of age this year, as does Pol Espagaro.

.... to hear that the financial crisis ruined Bonsey's ride in 250 (the more ex-dirt track champions in this sport the better), in the meantime I shall be watching the progress of his compatriot and ex red bull rookie Cameron Beaubier with great interest on the KTM.

Go Scott!!!
 
Stupid start times for motogp in qatar.

stupid ....., they put the race on monday early morning European time.

the Qualies on 00.15 AM sunday and the Race on 00.15 AM monday.

the whole day we have to wait for nothing.



It looks if Qatar is a Casey Stoner's race again, if Rossi cant keep it up with him.
fortunatly the FP times are closer than a few months ago, and it makes it more exiting between Casey and Vale.


I hope we will have an exiting race.

Congratulations to everyone for the start of 2009 motogp .

Sorry was meaning to be having a dig. I was having a dig at myself too if I was....as I was questioning the same as you - why wasn't Kallio higher - what went wrong?!

Nah I'm English, live in Finland though. (fun listening to English and Finnish commentary at the same time

)

Commentators suggested Kallio was testing things with bike in FP2 and not so much pushing for a fast time...who knows if that's true. Next 40mins may tell
