    Haha, that flushed you out - CBR600 is a great bike.

    Oh, and so it was nothing to do with the bike that you are keen on Mardi Gras then?

    Damn good poke at him at the end of that one to.


    hahah First time I've ever seen in print the Idea that Rossi might front Suzuki's return

    Now that would make sense for Suzuki and Rossi. They'd get a great development team in Rossi and Burgess and he'd get a bike that had quite good potential in its last few races in Moto GP.
    Just a left field scenario, but it'd be interesting watch.
    That was my guess in a previous post and I reckon its his last chance that or WSBK.
    I doubt they will bring a bike from 11th to consistent podium's on one season ( unless it rains every race) so the Ducati is pretty screwed till they start listening to the riders. Seems to me the rumors coming from Ducati are the same over the years for Stoner and now Rossi, they simply aint getting what they need out of the bike for Moto GP. Checca seems to be able to compete in WSBK tho on the 1098. Maybe if this season with Rossi keeps up like it is and he quits we will see Ducati leave Moto GP?? Dunno that would be a big call.

    Anyway last GP was really good.
    Great ride by Stoner
    Great to see Lorenzo can compete
    Great to see Danni admit he fucked up his own race by not trying hard enough
    Great ride by Crutchlow

    From the comments after, Front tyre choice seemed to get the blame for the differences! Cant wait for Estoril this weekend

    Just as a last comment I watch the last F1 race! Haven't watched it for a couple of years since it stopped on poor mans TV! Farken good actually!! Lots of cars, lots of passing, by jeepers they have certainly turned that procession around into a damn good race! I'm not suggesting bikes go for the Kers ( passing boost thing) thing but the changes to the F1 race model make better viewing

    Long main straight + honda horsepower = short arse lightweight winning.

    I took money of off the Tech. Director (now Race Director) and a former MCN Editor on this race last year.
