| Portugal baby, yeah! Time for the next race. This one is bumpy and the chicane is a real bitch for everyone. Sete doesn't like this track, Colin does. Rossi is good everywhere.
In the meantime, you can read some more about the political backdoor shiaat here. http://www.ceracing.com/phpBB2/viewt...21065ad1531bf4
And if you check Soup today, the silly season is starting to gain full WIND
Last time I checked CBRVFR and QuikMike were leading the .org motogpmanager sweepstakes
That is all for now  |

| Re: Portugal baby, yeah! I got my new Ice Replica helmet this week (same as pic'd in Booths avatar) , so I hope he can pull it together for this round. Still no new parts though, and Sete is running the latest and greatest...........still, Biatchi took a round or two to sort that out, so who knows. Go Ice C. |
