I was shocked for a second to see Biaggi up front until I remembered that most of the factory teams weren't there.  Still, if google is as smart as I think it is, Biaggi's time is right there with Bayliss' Day 1 time from last year.   Mebbe the priller won't suck donkey balls <fingers crossed>.

"...Tom Sykes and Ben Spies, the latter two Yamaha riders taking the time to feel their way around an unusual circuit for the first time."

i wondered if PI would come as easy.. such a unique track. 
keep hearing great things about that new gixxer.

I'm starting to think our bet about Ben getting on the podium isn't something that anyone would bet against now.

This seasons' WSBK looks like it is going to be more entertaining to watch than MotoGP.  [moto]

Been a while since GP was terribly interesting from a racing standpoint.

Hey, if the young guns show up this year, it could pan out to be a really interesting season... but I reserve judgement until that actually happens.  We could just have another two horse race, unless Stoner pulls out, then /yawn.

My fingers are crossed for a great year in GP, but its hard to beat WSB even if there are 3-4 guys fighting up front in GP.
