Vale 14th, Nicky 4th? Huh? Things always change when the lights go red on race day.

[Raux]

rossi wrecked.

and not surprisingly the consistently fast rookie Abraham is up in the mix again on practice, this kid may surprise everyone next year when he gets a better bike.

fixed for ya

...with no idea of how many satelite bikes there will be vs. the CRT bikes out there...the only certainty is that there will be 6 factory bikes on the grid for sure...2 from each of the 3 competeing manufacturers...

His dad will buy him a factory ride

more than likely...you are right...he practically bought him a track afterall...

Will Kawi ever consider rejoining the club? And will Suzuki consider staying? The Honda, Duc and Yammyhammer race series is getting a little old. Not only is the racing better in WSBK so is the mixed variety of scooters. I keep hoping for KTM to join the WSBK fray.

Capirossi was not ready for his return to MotoGP, thus the team substituted Guintoli for the remainder of the weekend.

Again, thoughts and prayers out to Burgess and his wife. First things first, then racing. Wish them the best.

ouch.

Valentino Rossi - 12th - 1’23.533:

“This morning’s crash caused a hole in my right arm that looks like a little anatomy lesson because you can see inside as far as the muscle, but I also took a hit on my shoulder - the right one, which was operated on - and now it hurts a little. It’s nothing too bad, and I wasn’t really affected much today.

[Jester]

This year is just turning into a forgettable one for Rossi.  First session he crashes early and misses virtually the whole session after boring a hole into his arm, then in the second session his bike shuts off due to a missed pebble still stuck in the bike from the first session crash.  Even when they have good weather to test, he loses more than half his testing time.

[pennyrobber]

Well at least Rossi didn't qualify dead last. 

[Speeddog]

Well at least Rossi didn't qualify dead last. 

Yes, he did beat Guintoli. 

Second race without Burgess... the wheels have truly fallen off the wagon.
