    Pedrosa

    Bins it big time in the second practice session and Capirossi's still fastest!

    Hayden is still not up with the front runners......here we go...!

    Looks like Pedrosa may not make the race due to a nasty gash on his knee.

    It's opening up now!

    Amazing what pressure can do.

    You can see it live Shaun if you sign up on the official moto gp site.
    Watch it on your puta live instead!! If you've got broadband it's fine, dial up is no good really.

    I think from memory it's 30 euro's....

    Saves waiting to see it delayed!!!

    I would have thought we'd get coverage earlier with Sepang being fairly close ? But instead we have to cater to people who get off watching polynesians playing with an egg shaped ball ??!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Superbikes are on too if you have Sky Sunday , first race 2150 hrs..... G.

    Re Pedrosa's crash, did he have an electronics failure? Thought these fancy bikes were nearly impossible to high side like that?

    Don't know if you've watch the video or not gav, but I think it'd be fair to say that Dani highsided the bike, rather than the bike highsiding him. I know that doesn't sound right, but you have to realise that he started it by digging his knee into the kerb after the front started sliding.

    Yeah just watched the vid again and thats pretty obvious. You can see him getting really close to the curb and then his knee comes out and he is sideways. Not the most comfortable of crashes. Its even funnier watching him get on his bike for FP3. Gets a little wooden box to stand on. Though his crew chief (or maybe his mum) would lift him up.
