Moto GP (and other races) "SPOILER"

Qualifying

did u see my man got 4th OMG

Congrats, girlfriend!  Jorge made a decent showing, as well, today.  Yesterday, not so hot.  I imagine he's shot full of pain killers still.  Hooray for our mutual guy, too,!!  In fact, Stoner is who I always really want to win.  If he's not going to win it, then it's all about Jorge.  He just came onto my radar when our crashes seemed to be coinciding.  I grew fond of him for his get-after-it spirit.  He gives those guys a run for their money.  Eager to see what tomorrow brings.

randy depuniet... what a get off

yeah, that was spectacular.  I watched it in slow motion about nine times to see exactly what the tire, the bike, and the rider did.  I was probably  little more spellbound than I should've been.  I just like to know what to expect.  I replayed it for Scottish yesterday when he was up here as we were talking about cold tires and riding during the winter down there.

Suppo spills the beans on the decision to start the GP race on wets rather than slicks:

now they will know better, that was so crappy, and they got laped   :'(

that has to be a hit to the ego....

THP was telling me that there was an argument between the crew of ducati and the riders
anyone heard of this?

i'll look around and see if i can find anything..

but that was a DAMN good race too..

Go Edwards a much deserved podium for him

We were guessing what lap he would crash on     He's getting better.

Compaired to what?  not sure.



Oh yeah,  Other  people  who  could  have  a  factory  sponsorship  and  not  crash  every  time  the  heat  is  on ... silly me.   

[DucMouse the Mighty]

oh my god did who-de-ha boy thats riding for stoner crash???

i mean i heard jorge did his usual...

[dusty]

[DucMouse the Mighty]

oooooh ouch!!!

ya i need to watch it now

Well...for those who missed, Pedrosa qualified on Poll by a wide margin, then Lorenzo, then Rossi.  First Ducati is Hayden in 6th nearly 2 seconds per lap off of Pedrosa's pace and over a second off of Lorenzo and Rossi.

There were a couple of crashes in Qualifying, but nothing serious.  Looks like it ought to be a good race.

Kingbaby and Dusty, I tried to call you guys to see if your place was still on for qualifying, but I got no answers.  You guys still on for riding in the morning and racing at 1:00?

[DucMouse the Mighty]

and the best part...NICKY GOT A PODIUM 

congtrats and much needed for him, hope ducati will stick with him for another season

I guess everyone has now heard that Valentino's crash Sunday was attributed to racing in a "dirty line".  I'm now told, by an inside source at Indianapolis, that the "dirty line" was a tear-off.  The poor guy took a wide line to set up a pass and ended up braking across a tear-off.

What a shitty way to retire from a race!!
