Hanging out for this weekends race, should be a goodun!
Yeah he doubled the size of my ignore list, it's now Cassina and him. Can we organise for them to start PMing each other? It'd keep them both occupied.
Am looking forward to the race, there are a number of things that make it interesting. The track has been resurfaced and a dramatic drop in laptimes is expected but there was a photo this morning of Marquez on a scooter, parked in the middle of the track bending down looking at some patches in one bend.
The Ducati riders should have good setting from the get go because they do their testing there. Michele Pirro, their test rider, will be racing and he has done a phenominal number of laps around Misano. Rossi will need to qualify well otherwise he's likely to have a whole posse of Ducatis between him and whoever is in front. He will know that, but knowing about it is one thing...
Rossi has been doing a lot of training at Misano on an R1. Yesterday I saw mention that this was "controversial". That's funny 'cause I hadn't noticed anybody moaning previously. Any rider can do unlimited testing anywhere they like as long as they don't use a GP bike and any mods to the bike they are using are approved by the Dorna technical people.
Luca Marini, Rossi's little brother, is riding in Moto2. While he is most famous for being Rossi's half brother, he is currently sixth in the Italian Moto2 championship. Wonder what happened to the five guys in front of him in the championship?
