entries and there bike numbers.

Thanks Andy.

Now I can finally find on who's on the Black #7. Took a tumble in the sand, yet seems to have recovered and still in the top eight.

Anyone know where Edwards/Haga are yet?

Edit: Just looked at the list. It's Tamada on the Black #7. Way to go Tamada.

Edit 2: 67th for Edwards/Haga!!! WTF.... Sure it's a long race but that's pathetic. Did they have some troubles I missed?

[BeakerRAT]

Awesome guys!

If you look at that list it appears Haga and Edwards only lasted until lap 4, did they crash out or engine failure?
#7 is Tamada and Kiyonari, on the bike, think Kiyo was on and tumbled. Kinda surpised they dont have to go and get rescrutineered after a crash?

Found a good listing of the entries in numerical order here.

Here is colin Edwards team profile

I see everyone has calmed down !! into the 4th hour

The streaming could be a bit better , I get locally 33MBps and the music channel is clear as the tv, this is a little slow , clear but the screen could be bigger

It must be hot there , here in the room its 36 and 65 percent humidity. I have an Ice pack strapped around me head , and the aircon is on full !

On a lighter note , me mate who raced at the 7 hr in Motegi, was 48th 0ut of 64 after crashing repairing the bike then crashing again and retiring ..late in the race

Hope it was worthwhile !

#19 Moriwaki, is that the bike that crashed in the first lap? Good looking bike, lanky bugger riding it!

[onearmedbandit]

Fuck it, I'm at home now and a couple of days ago I exceeded my 10g cap and am restricted to 56k....

[Ghost Lemur]

Tamada/Kiyonari have worked their way back up to 5th and are once again sitting behind their Seven Stars sister bike #11.

[Brian d marge]

Was watching that Moriwaki crash , that was a biggie they scraped rider up ,,,as for bike .Hmmm

The replays are better quality big grey button up top

BTW what did happen to Haga , I heard him in the comentary room and I cant see him on the timing screens

[Ghost Lemur]

Tamada was on a Hell charge for a while there. Hadn't seen him throw a bike around like that since 2004 (bit harsh maybe).

He gave a brilliant "fuck you!" to a lapped rider who wouldn't get out of his way. Went round the outside on the next corner and just cut his nose off. Lapped loser had to sit it straight up. Think he got the message.

Thanks again for this Brian. While I still would have watched the 100k version it wouldn't have been anywhere near as enjoyable.

There's a beer here for you if you're ever down this way.
