Tired of it.

Here is what Hayden said today, if it were Edwards saying it, people would call it complaining.



Quote:
"I don't really have the feeling I'm looking for; especially on the edge," explained Hayden. "More feeling for me equals more confidence when the bike is on its side. It was a difficult session out there because of the conditions. The last corner never really dried out for the whole hour.

"We've still gotta' lot of work do. I'd really like to have the feeling back we had at the start of the year here. We've gotta' lot of data to look at and we're really going to have to get our heads down tomorrow and pick up the pace," declared the American.

So why did you bring it up then? There is nothing said in this post until you brought it up. Deep down in places you don't talk about, you want to bring up CE, you need to talk about CE!! You are trolling for an internet argument

Nicky's doing quite well in FP2 as we speak. Second only to Rossi.
Oh, and Colin finally picked up the pace and is right behind Nicky.

Ooooh, looks like Barros wants to play now. He just displaced Colin at third. It looks like everyone is starting to get more serious. Rossi is still riding very quick at the front, though.

And Barros just barely pips Nicky on a final lap dash. He finished strong after a poor start, while Nicky and Colin were very consistent

FP2 finalized.

rossi
barros
hayden
edwards
tamada
bayliss
checa
nakano
gibernau
hopkins


Rossi was a league of his own, blistering the track with lap after lap. Only man in the 2'02"'s. He is on a misson. QP2 to come in a few hours.

Bridgestone have a hell of a qualifier for this track. + a few riders got held up on their flier. Tamada and CE both definitely did, I wasn't paying attention to the red/blue helmets of anyone else after Rossi finished his last 'hot' lap. CE went out, I saw a red helmet on the first portion of the track, and then bam nothing. He needs to learn how to deal with GP qualifying better, I realize it's luck of the draw sometimes, but it never stops Rossi.

I also read that quote from Rossi, and had to laugh. The guy has a great personality.

Rossi is on fire. He has the same determination as the first race of the season, if you remember that race. He seems unstoppable this weekend, wanting to prove a point to everyone after last week's crash.

Colin's deal to Yamaha is 100% done, he'll be Rossi's team mate next year with Yamaha.

Word today is that Bayliss is 100% done with Ducati.
Here is a quote

Quote:
Today Marco Masetti also said on motonline.com that Bayliss is "fired".
Wow, he ain't the only one who got fired this week

Re: Sepang QP1

The race warmup is over, and after spending the whole session around 6th or so, Rossi throws down a screamer on the last lap.
Order in race warmup:
Rossi
Biaggi
Hayden
Gibernau
Barros
Bayliss
Tamada
Capirossi
Checa
Edwards
Biaggi and Hayden led the whole way until the last lap.

Re: Sepang QP1

The race is still five hours away, and none of this can be seen on T.V., nor does it affect the outcome of the race. Thus, there is no spoilage in this thread.
Of course, like any other thread that does contain race outcome, the title will have "spoiler".
