Kenny got the new engine a few races ago (Catalunya I think), Hopper just got it this weekend. Kenny is fast because Bridgestone has upped the ante, they have a new set of qualifiers for him to use. Let's see if his tires will let him run at the front tomorrow, can't wait.

I didn't think MotoGP had any "lap timer issues". Guess I was wrong.

Check Biaggi's top speed: 330 mph . . . hmmmm, certainly a typo, but the Honda's must have something up their sleeve . . . .

Edit: I see they "fixed" the mistake . . .

This will be a good race, so long as the qualifying positions are an indication for the race...

Re: Kenny is on pole, can you believe it?
No traction control on Colin's RC211v, probably a few other parts the bike is lacking as well. Sook knows more about it than me.................. If Nicky can get on the podium today, it will be a feat.
The Michelin rears this year were made for the Yamaha, or well, suit it much better, it's been giving the Honda boys fits trying to set the bike up. Race is on in 10 minutes

He's got some different bits.

Ah hem Nicky did very well today, his best race in GP so far IMHO. He started in a good position and set the pace along with the 2 other early leaders. Running at the front today is something to brag about, very difficult. The 2 guys at the leaderboard for the championship both landed on their asses.

Snoop ain't my boy...I'd like to see Colin on the box just as much....in fact, earlier this season I would have bet $$ he would win a race before Snoop....now I'm not as sure. Who knows, still could happen....

That motard thing was just cracking me up because it didn't seem to be screwing up Biaggi or Snoop....

As for the 9th to 4th point spread, it's pretty thin...almost as thin as a radiator....
