I hope the crowd dont get too full on and potentially ruin the race!
Many instances in the past of unruly behaviour causing concern for race organisers.

Do ya recon he'll keep a low profile or take it to them?

nah, once he gets on track race-mode will take over and it'll be business as usual I reckon...

If Sic bins, the crowd will explode in a blaze of Spanish ecstasy.
If Sic bins someone else, the crowd will explode in a ball of Spanish rage.

Either way, definitely not a race to miss!

Yep, looking forward to it.

Just some tweets that Ive got ,

Criville will ride the new NSF twice this weekend. Ironic really since Alex beat Honda on the way to his 125 title

Honda's Moto3 bike is rather cleverhttp://www.superbikeplanet.com/2011/Jun/110602rydernotes.htm

"@TwitGP Just heard Simoncelli has been summoned to see Vidal Sassoon prior to Catalunya GP. It's going from bad to worse for the poor lad."

Team Gresini's pre-Catalunya statement in full http://www.superbikeplanet.com/2011/...601gresini.htm

I'd actually like to see Simo win, if only to see what the reaction would be in Espana!!

I'd like to see Honda give him Pedro's bike.

certainly seems to compete pretty well with the 'factory' team

which begs the question, what the hell is Aoyama up to?

**DidJit** · 3rd June 2011, 21:05

Simo's got HRC factory support even though he's in the San Gresini team; Aoyama is on a satellite bike.

**Brian d marge** · 4th June 2011, 02:46

a couple more tweets for those that dont ...

Casey 1min 43.9sec in FP1. No one else in 43s, Super Sic next nearly half a second back

KTM will be in Moto3 next year with Kalex making chassis.

MotoGp bikes warming up.. And spots of rain coming down.. Going to be interesting!
