Silverstone GP: Predictions, Practice & Qual
- Thread starter Jumkie
- Start date
Seriously...........
Tragedy all around regarding Crutchlow. It seems that performing in front of a home crowd can bee too much pressure. Just ask Toseland.
Tech 3 needs a healthy rider.
Lorenzo is doing very well. Either the Yamaha is better than what we think, or JL is pushing the bike to its absolute limit. Spies is close and doing better than Dovi, so perhaps the Yamaha isn,t much worse than the Honda.
Abraham is the next star....................... Maybe not, but a good effort anyway. Should he replace Rossi as Ducati,s development rider?
Bautista is doing ok on the Suzuki. In hindsight the Suzuki was probaly a better project for Rossi and Burgess.
Qualifying results will probably be meaningless as it seems a wet race is likely. Who will suffer in wet conditions? I suspect Jorge may a little.

And a fine Photochop it was!
Get yet butt out to Laguna, I'll buy you a beer.
Deal. I have already paid for my flight and purchased my paddock and roaming grandstand passes. Whattaya got to spend to get
full paddock access? Really looking forward to meeting the gang.

Ahhh... the master of understatement.
- 'cause despite what some of Ambermaniacs believe I don't really hate Vale. If he makes a comeback on the Duc
it'll make the whole season that much more exciting. I've never subscribed to the whole kicking a man when he's down
thing, and Rossi with all his various "failings" is a hell of racer and it would be a shame if his spirit were broken by
a 2nd terrible year.

You sir are a legend
being able to be ignored by the boppers within 3 minutes flat!!! thats a record, its positively Stoneresk!! I'd say you could get on any forum and get ignored by the boppers!!!
I tried hard and it took me 3:02.45 ........
Oh and Jazkat ........ gee ......... you are falling apart again fella ......... are you going to disappear again like 07 ?
oh and PS back to 320IDave ......... you may well have taken this win ....... but just remember, according to Jazkat it would seem ......... I am the GLOAT
"Greatest Loser of all Time" ...... as voted by the boppers themselves!! ........ which makes me pretty damn good
Even Jumkie with his drunken 2 page tyrades, stoking the fires of the boppers, goes nowhere near to my prowess ......... ...... see he doesn't yet know the secret is just post the facts in as few words as possible ........ ( we are attempting to communicate with amoeba after all ........ ( Squig, et al 2011 ))

Where are all the time travelers that love to compare performance of last year to determine that Lorenzo cant develop the Yamaha.He is over a second faster than his track record from last year. It didnt get him pole, but the bike is faster. Using this as a barometer, Lorenzo can develop a bike, right.

and how would i be falling apart? im still here itwas you that decided to hide for 3 years remember?
i told u im not interested in the championship but the racing just like the last few years at times when its been boring.....
you will get bitten trust me
i can see why your pushing rossi fans so hard tho but its cool... i dont mind.... what can we expect from you as for the last 3 years you have been crying into your cornflakes in the morning wondering what you can say on the forum
Chalk another one up for the 800 safety formula, although I guess collar bone fractures are better than many other injuries, and massive highsides no longer seem to be common.
I guess it could still be coincidence, and clavicles are fairly easy to fracture, but I am struggling to think of a mechaism for collar bone fractures now seemingly being so common compared with in the past.

You can be absolutely guaranteed that Simo has been told in no certain terms, YOU DO NOT TAKE OUT CASEY. If you can pass him on a straight, thats fine, but no bonzai moves on our title hopes. If its wet, just stay the .... away.
First Pov, I got a huge laugh out of this, this is a very funny post.
I'm sitting at home on my computer catching up on work and private stuff and naturally my ability to fall into silly daydreams takes over (It's Sunday and pissing down).
So I'm seeing in my silly daydream Simoncelli in a classroom setting with HRC management and Livio Suppo there acting as interpreter.
They are showing him pictures of bikes and riders and he has to answer yes or no to the "can you take them out" question. Every time they show him Casey or Dovi's picture he gets a rap over the knuckles, a resounding "NO" and threatened with a set of clippers.
Occasionally they put him in a sack with a picture of Dani and flog the sack.
He gets a donut and some shampoo every time he says yes to Lorenzo.
Question:
Will the boppers follow Rossi to WSBK in 2013?
Who would the boppers follow in MotoGP when he leaves?

There are 2 other riders on the grid with the same bike, neither are within the 0.1 second you prophesise
Simoncelli - 0.188 behind
Dovisioso - 1.192 seconds behind
Or are you saying that Stoner's bike is not the same machine as the other factory Honda riders?

Bummed. Was really looking forward to seeing Crutchlow at his home race.
Seems like Edwards & Crutchlow has a little competition going.......................................... Anything you can do, I can do better

Good post Frizzle, I totally agree with you and look what Stoner is doing with the Honda straight out of the box, he’s taken it from being just a Pedro YoYo to a championship favourite contender and it’s only been 5 gp's well 4 one of those didn’t count because of (???) we know who that is! So he’s given these guys a 1 gp start but Stoner + Honda are a formidable force just like Ducati + Stoner were!!!
