BTW, did that bike come as close to landing on Laverty as it looks?   Shocked

And gotta love the Brits.  Their take on the Biaggi/Melandri dust-up is that Max hits like a girl.   laughingdp

Yeah, they look really similar.  Probably just a coincidence.

Maybe Max will try and give Laverty a slap at Assen.  laughingdp

That'd be entertaining!

Any idea why the team would number the spokes on the wheel?

I just wonder why they would number all of 'em....  Huh?

Maybe they number a spoke for each year they used the wheel.

The darker area just beyond the edge is most likely torn up tire from accelerating out of the corners while the pure edge is smoother and not beat up as bad.

I mean I know you're joking, but just sayin'.

That video of Berger's Duc losing the rear wheel is wild. The commentary is right, the wheel manufacturer is going to be asked some hard questions. And he was lucky that it happened in a slower turn. Could have been much more nasty... like in a crowded pack at the end of a straight. Tongue

Mostly they break in slower turns, supposedly. Apparently it's a torque thing.

MAx Biaggi is now officially Melandri's beeartch!

Was I the only one dreaming of a situation where he slaps Carl Fogarty in some alternative history? Ol' Max would be missing some teeth.

Bet you wouldn't see Max slap Xaus! He's about a foot taller than Biaggi and Max would get punched into next week. laughingdp I agree with the commentary. Max is just acting like the Max of old (sad to see) and he's worried that Marco will continue kicking his ass all season. And he should be worried! Grin

The fact that flame throwers exist is proof that someone somewhere said "I'd sure like to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."

CONFIDENCE: the feeling you have right before you understand the situation.
