    Colin was meant to have tested 3 bikes on the Monday after the last race - an updated version of the BMW/Suter, a Honda/FTR and an Aprilia. Whether he did or not I have no idea but that was the rumour going around.

    I'm more interested in what Pedro and Stoner tested at that session and whether they're riding the new bikes this weekend.

    Think Pedro is on the new bike, Stoner new engine/old chassis

    at this point that seems to make as much sense as any other explanation!

    Even the best riders in the world go around left handers differently to right handers. Nobody is perfectly symmetrical in their riding. Probably doing something right handers that he doesn't on lefts.

    Being an ex dirt track/flat track racer that's probably well correct.

    Interesting Hayes P1 DMG superbike, 1.24.99 would have him in 17th for the Motogp grid (p2), minus prototype chassis and spec tyres.

    Thought that was a hell of a call for Spies going out again after that blow to the head.

    nice laps by lorenzo....looked superfast.....still lots of chat about who might get the second bike next year....good for Yamaha i think as it seems everyone wants that ride...

    I like Laguna but as a race meeting i just don't get them only having MotoGP and not moto2&3.......certainly not one i would spend money to go to....

    Stoner and perdrosa were fast so looking forward to the race...seems tyre choice will make or break the race....so be interesting to see what each team select

    Nah it's an awesome GP to go to mate. Only one you can guarantee it won't rain at. 25-28 deg every day. Silicon tits everywhere, and the AMA curtain raisers are normally as good as moto2/3. PLus it's an incredible track to spectate at.

    They also run the AMA meeting at the same time. Partly to get Americans along cos MotoGP isn't an American series so they don't get too interested in it. But also because there's a very limited number of opportunities for bike meetings there. Bloody cars are way more important to most people.

    They've already arseholed Moto2 and Moto3 out of the pits everywhere else. The problem is the Dorna wankers wanted to screw even more dough out of SCRAMP for the support classes.
