just got an e-mail from yamaha about the le mans race. read it o.k. but this caught my eye. look at the stats on the overall time when vermeulen won in 07 compared to jorge's 250cc. WTF is that 250. 7+mins faster for the entire race. or am i missing something?. anyway I predict a rossi battle elbow to elbows with stoner and da pud. but my man the living ledgend himself will prevail to win.
