[moto] Nicky showing improvement and is racing again! Seems a little gun-shy after all those earlier fun experiences on the "other" bike.
Paraphrasing a jet-lagged Colin Edwards replying to Dave Despain's question, as to why Rossi is so good...."...I don't know, I get behind him and go where he goes, but no matter how fast I am he always pulls away....."
Paraphrasing a MotoGP TV announcer (broadcast on SpeedTV) reflecting after the race on Rossi's 100 wins and the start of Rossi's MotoGP career..."The first races I covered in the 1990s, I wondered who the girl was that all the other reporters were talking to."
Despain softly speculating that Spies will replace Toseland next year to form "Team Texas" in MotoGP...Colin thinks Spies is happy in WSBK and will stay put for the time being, alluding to Spies's awareness of a higher level of competition in MotoGP vs WSBK.
Question for the pro riders here: Seems that a lot of bikes were doing baby wheelies through the chicane. Was that to keep the front tires off the road and reduce wear or just from zealous use of the throttle?
