You think Honda are going to stick it to themselves, kind of ironic

I'm more interested in how he goes on Monday.

Another wet or drying up session.

3/4 into the FP3 session. Peddles leads Rossi, Stoner and Haystack.

Melandri is actually looking semi-useful, holding down 6th.

Where in my quote did I say I'm not going to miss Motogp over the winter?
I would be stoked if Nicky won on Sunday, but this winter test period is so important for him.
I'm keen for him to do well.

FP3, final times. WTF is going on here??? Did Marco and Shinya run Q tires?




Hayden slaughters em!!

I'm really hoping Michelin can win on Sunday so they take their high ground in the best possible way. Nicky looks good for it so far, his best weekend in a long long time.

He has had good weekends ever since Michelin and Dani parted company. Not a coincidence I think.

I think things have changed in Nickies head recently, and its showing.

It was a wet session, probably drying up a bit but still on wet tires. Pole record are 1:31.00
The wether are looking out to be better tomorrow so don't put much if anything into FP's theis weekend. It' hasn't been one dry session so far.

Session started. Expect lot's of changes and an exciting session with a frantic last 10 min.

Final Qualifying

How could Hayden let this happen!!?? Fastest in all 3 practices and loses the pole. Even to Pedro.

Same as always,in the dry the Stones are just better.I would love to see Hayden punt Pedro in the first corner,it would make my year as long as no one gets hurt,or maybe just a separated shoulder to even things up.
