nightie night troy

Mr Superpole was gonna do the job wasn't he. But Biaggi looked remarkably comfortable on his bike, i think we could see him win tomorrow. JT looked fast but a tad ragged, i hope he can keep it together. Bayliss looks like hes having trouble, but i think Qatar won't tell the whole story, thigs will change when we get into the season.

Lanzai going fast, take note all you haters

Right on the button their Tom!

Nice race, really great to see Biaggi win - I'll have to did my marlbro yam cap out

Shame that JT didnt have the pace/tyres - he looked really good in the first half of the race.

But Biaggi - class act, super smooth ('cept turn one!) and didnt really put a foot wrong.

nice to have a biking fix again!
 
good race 1 to kick off the season eh ?

did you see the rubber on Biaggi's exhaust off Corsers (?) rear wheel ? !

Like you said, but I wouldn't read too much into Lanzi's podium place - it'll be the last one he gets IMO
 
Congrats to the Roman Emperor, the usual suspects (Corser, Bayliss, Haga, Toseland) must be feeling quite pissed that big mouth oldie MotoGP rider came by to kick their .....!

Laconi don't crash into your Kawasaki teammate!!!

Barely an ... wupping was it. But two excellent races and my favorite two guys out on top. I can't wait to see how they rack up against Bayliss when he rides properley (this weekend was pretty un-acceptable for him).

The Yamahas look great, and i especially like Corsers leathers, but what a nasty helmet design.

I wouldn't be so sure of that. I doubt he will be beating Bayliss very often but he is a very good rider and i expect to see more podiums for sure, if not a win or two.

I'm pretty sure that was off of Toeslands front wheel when JT was trying to go inside him at one of the hairpins on lap 1.

You must have been watching a different race to me, I would hardly call it an arse whooping...

Seems sarcasm is lost here.

The guy I originally quoted says Biaggi whupped everyones ..., he only beat Tose by 1 second, and the finishing margin in the second race was about the same.

You get me?

I understand, i always have trouble with sarcasm on computers, but yeah both races were fairly tight between Biaggi and James, but nobody else could ride at their level today.

Max is back!! Good to see. Maybe he'll rip up this season, get a MotoGP ride next year and come back to haunt Rossi in his final season!
