The cold wicked off-season is over boys!



Haslam riding around with broken leg not even one day removed from surgery to drive a few screws into bones. Any questions about why i love this guy? Honestly, i would advice him to sit this one out and heal up, but my utter respect goes out to him.
 
similiar dedication as west. admirable yes but also a bit stupid. good for the injured riders that there is enough time for them to get fit until round 2.

lets just hope none of them crash in australia

you got that right, its supposed to be 104 at PI tomorrow. Which i guess is today over there.
 
Kuba looks like he's trying to be a real boy this season. I guess the races will tell the true story though.



Pedercini Kawasaki in 14th? Is Staring riding the wheels off of it, or have Kawasaki decided that Pedercini has been embarrassed for long enough?

Haslam is a brave boy. Still pipped Melandri too.



If anyone wants to have a look at some pics from practice yesterday they can have a look here.

Doohan corner is a hell of a place to take photo's but thereis no shade & it was darn hot.

Eventually walked the whole track, but it was a 3 can trip.

Sucks for Chaz. Speed tv here in OZ has delayed the live feed because of a serious crash. Don't know if it's a support class or what, but hope everyone is okay.

They are talking about a "serious crash" on the TV but giving no further info, I was hoping that as the PS man on the ground you may have been able to enlighten us.



Superpole was going to be 20 minutes late and is now "time to be announced".





Info anyone ??????
 
They just announced a fatality in an earlier event but no names and the superpole has been cancelled out of respect for the deceased and for the investigation of the incident.
 
Sorry Andy I'm not down there today. Only yesterday. Just sent a text to a mate who is, but he hasn't answered yet.
