Go Big Ears!!!

[owner]

I have a small bet going, Stoner, Rossi, Hayden with Toseland on pole position

[R6_kid]

I heard most of them prefer the dark, Rossi said its 'too cold' compared to the day, but otherwise the lack of lighting away from the track enables them to focus better on just riding the bike.

The Ducatis have 10kph higher top speed than anyone else by the looks of it. I hope it's not going to turn into a boring Ducati dominated show.

I thought the Yamahas were struggling a bit when it was too hot, not producing enough power. So the cold temperature could actually help them a bit. But then, the cold track won't be as sticky as a daytime track.

I'm really looking forward to this race!

Read an interveiw with Rossi once where he admitted that he usually cant go that quick straight out of the blocks until he tests for grip and so forth..
Sounds about right...

Just a thought mind but I reckon they should go back to 1000cc and get rid of any of the electronic riding aids.

Bummer, better stay out of and MotoGP threads, don't watch the news or read the paper until you can see the tape.

+1. Hence the vile reaction to ANYONE who appears to have posted race results before I've downloaded a race.
