practice

2 more days!

Hard to believe it's been one year since the first visit of WSBK to Miller. This year looks quite promising for some great racing. Last year Checa pulled the double, and given his lackluster season so far, doubtful it will happen again, but he could go surprisingly well. Fabrizio in last...

Assen is this weekend boys and girls, early predictions? Last year Bayliss did the double win. Haga DNF'd race 1 but got a 2nd in race 2. Checa in 2008 picked up a 2nd and a 3rd. Max N had a 3rd and a 5th last year. Correct me if I am wrong but I don't think Spies has seen Assen, he was...

Valentino Rossi claims that MotoGP races will not switch to a two-day format from the 2010 world championship campaign onwards. The scrapping of all practice on Friday’s was one of several measures proposed by the Motorcycle Sport Manufacturers Association to cut costs in MotoGP. Friday...

not sure if we knew this already but this has gone way to far now...welcome to the point of no return... Dorna boss Carmelo Ezpeleta expects MotoGP events to become two-day meetings from 2010, as part of the next round of cost-cutting measures that the teams will discuss later this month...

It seems that Friday practice sessions are being done away with in favour of meetings and maybe even to grant more access to the public to the paddock area. Here's my source... will try to translate if I get the time: http://www.gpone.com/news/News.asp?NNews=3440 The matter is still under...

And it's the last one of the season...

P.I.

Hmmmm... Hayden tops the mornings practice times, Pedrobot pulls up the rear, interesting so far!

Here we go, FP1 is on. Stoner on top and right now first under 2:00 And then Rossi bettered that a few laps later. Down to 1:59:5. Lot's to do thow: QR 1:56:1 - Rossi, 2006 TR 1:58:1 - Capirex 2006 Seems like Rossi are up to something. The last three out on lap one were Stoner, Pedrosa and...

Since its my home GP I am glad to be starting this thread Go!!!!!! Americans !!!! Good luck to all.

22 minutes left and Rossi is nearly two seconds off of Stoner's pace and Toseland has now dropped out of the top 15. Still, it's early days as it's only FP1.

...and here we go....

Just heard it on Sky News this moment, apparently the bike seized during practice at a cross section. It's a ....... tragedy for his son's, I can't express my sorrow enough for them, and road racing in general. RIP Robert. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/motorsport...kes/7403931.stm for a...

Tomorrow and the bulk of the season begins. 6 races in 8 weeks, and Lemans is the first of em. Let's keep it all in here lads/ladies. And let's hope for a stonkin' race.

I'm starting this up early because I'm not entirely sure how the times work out, and because it's my thing. Let's hope the racing at the end of it is as good as the WSS race at Assen.

I'm impatient!! 16 hours to go and I can't wait!! How about we just declare the first guy out on the track for FP1 the champion No! ..... ok maybe just chat about it all here?

Casey top FP1 by .6 over Pedrosa
