Stoner suffers repeat of race sickness

[Jester]

If he's still struggling from exhaustion, wait until he hits the heat at Laguna next week.  The weather wasn't even bad this weekend and no rest for the weary.  Tell his wife to quit wearing him out on the weekends.

That's a good one Jester!! I wish that was the excuse I had for being so tired... I mean the part about Stoner's wife wearing ME out.

Yep, going to be a good four hours of racing tomorrow on SpeedTV. Can't wait to see Hayden actually fighting with folks mid pack. Heard he ran off the track while leading that group and fought his way back a place or two. Got to be good for his spirits and confidence.

If they haven't done so already, they need to do complete blood labs on Stoner and get to the bottom of this "exhaustion."  I am hoping for as good a race at Laguna as last year!!!  Hopefully a 3 way battle this year though.  I guess that would qualify as a manage-a-tois.

If is not Adriana then who?...  IMO, she's too much for him... 
Yeap, wait for the heat, the Corkscrew...the memory of the fall on the front straigth... 
Tell Mr. Guareschi that Adriana should be kept away from Casey from Thursday untill after the race...just saying

[Desmostro]

8th - Nicky ok. At least that.

 

[TiNi]

was anyone else thinking pedrobot was going to break into pieces when he went down? 

[Jester]

Yeah, the second I saw his tire tuck I was thinking "oh no, here we go."  I'm glad he hopped up after that one.  I enjoy having more riders to fight up front.

Stoner suffers repeat of race sickness

He was not looking happy on the grid.
Is someone poisoning him?

Scooby, get Thelma and load the van, we have a mystery, .

Anyone know if Alvaro and Hiroshi are still speaking?
