I get that Rossi did it, but we all have to admit that it's a special case. #46 ain't like the rest. P.S. Crash.net thinks Spies 'settled' for #11 because he lost out on the chance to run #19.

New guy? ;D Title: Re: Official 2010 MotoGP Grid released Post by: Spidey on January 27, 2010, 09:50:15 AM Only 7 countries represented? US, Australia, Italy, Spain, France, Japan & Finland. I'd expect more.
5 Italians 5 Spaniards 3 Americans 1 Australian 1 Japanese 1 French 1 Finnish And it appears that Crash.net thinks that Jorge got a new passport.

[/quot What was 19 an homage to? I never got used to him running 19 in WSBK. I just figured his number was available in GP and went back to it.
