So Can't Wait for the end of march to finally arrive!!
When does the next Test take place people?
any news on wether the official test will be on eurosport like last yr?
God i miss Toby and Julian!
And flickin' over to BBC2 to perv at the lovely Suzi, mmm Suzi! lol
 
Next week they're going to Phillip Island (except Suzuki and Ducati that will be at Quatar).

It seems Sete is going to get a lot of poles this year, will he turn them into wins???

Vermudlen has improved significantly.
 
looking at the times over the last three days,with Gibenau and Loris looking very strong for Ducati,should be a very interesting mix ?

I know this test doesn't mean too much but this makes me even more excited about next season.

i had him pegged for 5 wins last season. but that never happened. maybe the curse is lifted. it would be a good thing. can't wait!!!
 
wheres all those muppets gone who said sete was a shot rider? in all spoerts its confidence of which he didnt have any off last year..
 
The Dukes look indeed strong so should prove interesting..

Its been mentioned b4 but red is suiting Sete more and more..just like Schumacher at Ferrari.

Pedrosa looking good, the Kwacks also and vermulan 10th ..not bad.

James is slowly getting his times down so must be feeling better.

Thanx for making us aware of the times.
 
I might be out of turn here but Sete IS probably the fastest rider out there on his day. It's good to see him on top, but his problem is people (and we all know who) getting under his skin. A tight hard race at the start of the year and it could undo the man before he's started.

I can't help but feel Rossi will be on top of his game when it comes to mind games!

yea he definately suffers in this area. he needs to work on his mental toughness a bit.

I think Pedrosa will give a little surprise in his first race.

Either that or I'm too optimistic.

Best of luck Teo, to you and Dani. Always rooting for the Repsols and I like all the young blood in the series. Is he running no. 26 or 9? Do you know?
 
This is goooood stuff.
The two Kawas are pushing each other into the top 10, Sete back on track leading a Ducati assult, Biaggi not even in the country, and CV making his GSV the fastest after only a few hours on the bike, compared to Hoppers experience.

And who was that talking up James "Almost two seconds behind CV" Ellison? That'll teach ya! CV's a lot more talented than you guys give him credit for. IMO a SBK Vice Champion is a harder earned title than a 250GP Vice Champion

Next week, Honda, Kawasaki and Ducati will be testing in Phillip Island for three days, while Camel Yamaha Team and Suzuki MotoGP will move to Qatar in the beginning of February.

I think CV's happy where he is. If he wanted a Honda, he could have got one eventually. He's optimistic that Suzuki want to fix the bike's problems. Time will tell if they're commited
