The bloody althea looks like a factory ducati, sounds factory a works ducati and is called a factory ducati. hmmmmm guess it must be a factory ducati.

Good effort by the guys on the 'Fucking bert' bikes too.

yay for race season

Three red flags were deployed during the session after a flock of geese descended on the circuit, creating a potential safety risk for riders.

**From Crash.net***** hehehe, its remarkably common for people to introduce themselves to the flying creatures at that track

Ask Leon Haslam what it's like to have absolutely no development. They did some work on the bike prior to last season but nothing during the season and the big gixxer was slowly but surely overrun.

It'll be the same for the Althea squad, inheriting last season's Factory Duc's, they'll probably start off OK but will drift back as the season goes on.

What's up with Vermulen?? He's getting softer every year big deal he's got a sore knee. HTFU :violin:

WTF? Sore knee? His knee was destroyed mate, and it's kinda hard to race with only one leg to do any weight transfer.

From the Superbikeplanet website:

"Vermeulen essentially underwent total knee reconstruction after a big crash early in the 2010 season. He entertained us at the Miller Motorsports Park round by grabbing his lower leg and moving it laterally two or three inches without his knee moving at all."

He'll always go down with a big asterix next to his name. Ended his career the day he signed up with Suzuki in motogp. I guess at least he got a win, more than that american who did the same thing can say :shutup:

You mean the American/Pom that got on the booze and wrecked his future ? I see he's trying to return to Gp in 2012 by doing the BSB series. Might just have done his dash, der ! :facepalm:
Vermulen should be just about ready to go by now ?

haha maybe, but i think ducati like winning more than suzuki.

I suspect its more a, hey we don't give much help, its just a great bike, wink wink. i think gpone had a sizeable list of the modiciations for checa this year.
