I'm going to get both ankles broken before my next track outing, with my lap times it's worth a shot Roll Eyes
I wonder why JT is struggling with his setup all of a sudden?

I think we should officially omit Edwards from now on.  He clutters up the results.  He's got the dong, but he has no idea what to do with it.   Tongue

Yea, but he will run it off the track no less than three times during the race.  I like Edwards....a true showman, unlike most riders.  I don't think he can maintain his focus throughout a race much less with other bikes around him.

Valentino Rossi:

Quote
"Then we'll need to see what Colin (Edwards) does, because his pace is super quick. He usually doesn't go as well in the race as in qualifying, so we'll have to see if he can keep it up throughout the race."

Not too bad of a race.  The 1st 10-15 laps were really exciting.  I was hoping everyone would be able to hang with Rossi to make it exciting at the finish, but oh well. 

Rossi definitely looks like he's back on form.  Guess the question of whether Rossi or Stoner would be better on equal tires has been answered the last couple races!  Wink

Wonder what happened to Stoner's bike?  Huh?  I'm not sure he would have made the podium anyway though...he seemed to be losing it a bit.

Lorenzo is a bad ass.  Broken bones in both ankles and still finishes second!  waytogo

It was a good race.

Looked like Stoner lost a clutch or gearbox downshifting at the end of the straight.
