I was un-impressed by how whiney Stoner gets whenever he rubs elbows with other riders, he seems to hate closeness with other guys and its a bit lame.

Considering it was actually Stoner's fault it was very lame!

Well, getting married seems to have made Casey relax a bit, so hes going quicker. But to some a family or babay will take focus away from racing, which is of course negative.

Hope its not true.

Yea i think he did and i remember him mentioning something like that baldylocks. Colin is the man.
All this talk about Stoner being a cry baby makes me sad. I had not idea he was so...whiny. He better straighten up. He's representing a good company.

Can someone explain the whining from stoner, this is all autosport had
'Valentino Rossi was fourth, ahead of Toni Elias, who made contact with Stoner in the final complex as the two riders completed their last laps of the session. Both stayed upright in the incident.'
What actually happened? Can't find the 'truth' anywhere.
No surprises from todays sessions.
No podiums for Nicky until Laguna.

I think he will improve on that and finsh the race inside the top 10 although it doesnt look good at the moment he was last for most of yesterdays practice 2.

Yamaha takes pole and second!!! GO COLIN!! Pedrosa was looking to kick Rossi and Colin outta the way on his last lap, but luckily Hopper held Pedrosa off and prevented him from passing and taking pole! Phew!
Last ditch effort from Hayden got him on the second row in 6th, so don't count him out just yet! Watch out for Capirossi Sunday, he's going to be a sleeping giant.

Its not just Nicky who is screwed, its just anyone with a Honda badge on their bike. I thought Stoner would have more at the end but he jsut didn't get in the quick lap i was waiting for.
Hayden did seriously well to go 1.9 seconds quicker with the Q tire but he is going to struggle badly tomorrow. The Kawasakis have started to look pretty good now and i hope that continues.

I kind of think that Istanbul has lost of straights (4) but none as long as Losail or Shangai’s (Istanbul’s longest straight = 720m) and some riders have mention that it is some sort of a ‘stop & go’ track. So after qualifying it’s interesting to see result so far.
