Apart from Toni's 'optimistic' pass, Rossi would have gone backwards anyway wouldn't he?
Can't blame Rossi for being peeved at the man who contributed to a lost title, but his tyre would have died anyway.
So who said Stoner would be no good. Shame on you
Loris 2nd
Hopkins 3rd
Rossi 4th
But Hayden in 12th OOOO that is going to hurt. Oh well at least he has another day to try harder.
John Hopkins has decided against having surgery on his injured wrist before next weekend's Turkish Grand Prix.
The Suzuki rider suffered the injury during pre-season testing in Qatar in February and, despite still being in pain, he will continue to race without surgery.
"My wrist is still...

You know, I like Nicky Hayden, I think this year he's been a lot more racey that 2005....but I still think he lacks that extra edge to push the bike to its limit when the tough gets going.
He's a very consistent rider and seems very rarley to make mistakes, he's leading the championship but I...
.... my prediction looked far fetched yesterday, but Dani was sooo close. Anyways congrats to Melandri and Stoner. I didn't expect that kind of performance from these 2 guys.
Nicky was a bit slower than what I thought he could do.
Rossi struggled like a pig, that was fun.
The bridgestones...

THE MAGIC OF ISTANBUL
Team Fortuna Honda heads to the third round of the season this weekend and a circuit that holds special memories for both its riders. Last year both Marco Melandri and Toni Elias played starring roles in the inaugural Grand Prix of Turkey, with Marco taking the first...
Since it brought up a whole heap of discussion on lots of different stuff on the first two rounds I'm gonna put this one up again. Interesting thing is last year Stoner won the 250 from Pedrosa by only a 10th of a second so Casey likes it here. I think Rossi will be hard to beat with...

Whos your picks for the weekends racing then?
Me, I think Mr Hayden has a good chance of being number 1.........its anti-clockwise........and I'm sure there is going to be one helluva dark line round the quad apex Thats said............can he conserve his tyres enough?......oh, and...
I know we are still 3 or 4 months away from the Turkey GP but I was wondering if anyone has any information on the new circuit. Are there any track maps or aerial pictures or any course descriptions? If anyone knows anything about it I'd love to hear about it.
