Good to see he's taking it on the chin unlike his team mate that's whining like a....a...a...WHINER!

Early days yet but the ducs seem to like water.

Danny is on fire by the looks. I'd quite like to see the little bugger steal the prize. That'd put a different shine on all the predictions

Yeah. Were did Rossi finish @ Silverstone in the wet last year?

The track has been wet/dry so far. Not full on wet. So none of the times really mean diddly squat.

of course we know Dani has an unfair advantage in the wet in Spain

Well that FP2 created more questions than answers.

Rossi led the time sheets for most of the session until Pedrosa went under his time.

Neither Rossi nor Hayden can even hazard a guess as to why the bike is so good in the wet when the problems they have in the dry should be even worse in the wet. Rossi wants it to rain until Valencia.

Both Dovizioso and Crutchlow had wheel spin problems and couldn't get the power to the ground, but they're both ahead of Spies?

David Emmett reports, "There was an odd little scene in the Yamaha garage. Couldn't quite catch it, but it had the whiff of toys being ejected from the perambulator." Wonder who that was? Probably not Lorenzo.

If Stoner has such masterful throttle control, why is he only fourth? He should have an even bigger advantage in the wet. His "superior throttle control" might also be up there with Rossi's pregnant girlfriend.

My guess is that he didn't want to throw it down the road for no reason so early in the piece, the weather might change etc.

Obviously missed Silverstone last year...

Not a lot to be gained from riding half wet half dry tracks.

lol. I knew you were looking for a bite mate. But it's wet and quiet here today. I've nother better to do!

My money is on Lorenzo this weekend though. Smooth as butter will work well.
