    There were some tasty pics on Twitter thismorning of MM getting his elbow down at testing (last night our time?).
    He's not there yet, but he's getting quick.

    Crutchlow wished that it would rain on the test now.

    Gresini have announced the name of their new CRT rider, Bryan Staring. I've never heard of him but he's won three Australian titles and he won some Super Stock races in Europe last year.

    Guess he msut have caught somebody's eye?

    Seems like he brought some cash with him,
    It's OK to disagree with me. I can't force you to be right.

    I see things have gotten interesting in Jerez. We should be able to see a nice little comparison between WSBK and MotoGP.

    Doesn't look to good for Checa and Badovini on the 1199 though.

    Wow, very revealing. And embarassing for the MotoGP and CRT...................

    That last paragraph is the sort of wisdom you only get from those who truly know that of which they speak.

    Currently the 'Net seems full of photos of Marquez getting his elbow down. Apparently this is to be normal, he's asked Alpine Stars for more elbow protection.

    And the Gresini team are sticking with Showa for Bautista next year.

    The only words of wisdom I saw in that article were from Eddie Lawson..............not Shwantz.

    I read earlier (few months ago) that MM was the only AlpineStars rider that had replaceable elbow sliders on his leathers. Can't remember where I read that though.

    Embarrasing for Ducati MotoGP, yes. But the great thing about CRT is that no one really expects anything from them, so you can't let people down.

    .............but I didn't see any times for CRT at Jerez.

    .............and the WSBK riders were on their third day of testing there, so Nicky and team at Ducati have some time still to match the WSBK times. At this point it makes people wonder why Ducati is spending all this money on MotoGP. Maybe if the took the GP13 and entered it in the WSBK for 2013 they might get some wins.

    Yeah and seriously - if they raced the Ducati WSBK 1098R in the CRT class they could be up there?
