What about a 250 2 stroke?

It would be a positive step for for racing, but Caramello would see it as 'loss of face' & couldn't do it..

[James Deuce]

Dunno 'bout that. He's been the fastest in both sessions so far by quite a bit, and his record round there is pretty good. Time will tell...

But I reckon he'll be well motivated to part with Yamaha with a big fuck you.

Yes, suprised by that.He's been limp in practice for the last few races. Tyres must have come good.

Also put a lot of fast laps together on the harder tyres in FP3 instead of putting in a soft and going for a time. Was 3rd that session. MM led the way. Qual should be good.

Moto3: One second covers the first 25 on the grid! I expect it to be the race of the weekend - again.

As an aside: The Aprilia. Isn't it nice to see a solid colour bike again.

Fucking amazing effort by Lorenzo and Michelin. And for the wankers that last year cried about MM not even trying to pass Lorenzo. Get a grip. When he's on round there...ain't no one gonna get near enough to him to even try a pass. His pole lap was un fucking real to watch.

I think it was Oxley was saying that this track offers less overtaking oportunities than anywhere else during the year. Still, I hope we can get a good race to end a great season.

Yep. Having been there..he's right. Didn't stop Stoner pulling the move from hell on the very last corner of the last lap on old Ben Spies!

Haha, Wanker HQ Calling - Bull shit on that one. MM was plenty close enough to pull at least one lunge, but he saved that for his team mate when he passed him and it only took something like 1/4 of a lap to do it!
The real MM will turn up this race me thinks

I is with you, brother!

Something Mat Oxley mentioned over night. At the European rounds there are some accomodation trucks available for those riders not exalted enough to have their own motorhome. Each of these trucks have four bedrooms and the rooms are available for hire - at the absolutely eye watering price of 56,000 Euros per season. That's close to NZ$85,500.

As Oxley pointed out, being at the track and avoiding the traffic jams is priceless, but that sum is still staggering.

Have to disagree there, I personally think they look effing horrible.

Don't worry, it'll be a one off. It's in support of an AIDS charity.

Yea I heard something about U2 and Bono...

I'm partial to a colourful bikes though, the LCR Honda when Bradl had it/Crutchlow took over was a favourite of mine.

I guess you haven't been watching much Moto GP then mate.

Because if you had been...you would've noticed that just about EVERY race Lorenzo wins, he's done so by getting a great start, and fucking off.

But hey...far be it from me to ruin the Rossi Fan Boi's conspiracy party!
