Don't need rain to kick ass son. The GSVR is a tiger waiting to pounce mate. It'll be a blood letting from here on in.

We'll see. Anyway everyone knows that GP is so last year. Superstock 600 is where its at these days. Go the GSXR

If the grid was determined in the wet it doesn't mean anything - they only have to say-on for 1 lap.

Remember the really wet race last year (British GP?). The wet specialists did great but Rossi still beat them and he was lapping 2 seconds better than the next guy at the end of the race..... bloody impressive.

Oh dear - Sete tops the warm up,Vermeulen back in 16th.Stoner 2nd,Pedrosa 5th,Rossi in 7th.Shaping up to a good race,the Suzuki's will be last on the first lap....if they get that far.

Well the blue machines didn't win but a pretty good effort all up. Plenty of promise at the start. Going to be a good season.

Err that should be #4. Which would drop him out of the Holy Trinity, let alone the podium.

CV's a better race length rider than Hopper. Hopper is really quick, but breaks stuff, tyres included.

Bit like haga over in the other racing, last few races I have seen him ride right at the front up with the pace for the first half but he blows his tires doing it the nhas to drop back and settle for a lower spot
