| Phillip Island................. FP1 is over, and we all know how meaningful it is. Looks like it is definitely Rossi and Edwards' track, right? http://motogp.tiscali.com/en/motogp/...re sult=32487
BTW......cold night, I think my teeth are chattering.

| Re: Phillip Island................. C'mon Boof (teehee) - you know as well as I do that FP1 times are the standard to measure the weekend by. Last year's times are, well last year. Just because they were faster doesn't mean the riders will get any faster as the weekend goes by. (Plus that "practice condition: WET" might factor in a bit)
Besides, what fun is it without some good ol' friendly trash talk to make the next two hours go by faster?

I know it's FP1 but it's still fun  |

If he doesnt make it in GP... oh well he wont be the first to go back to where he came from and sure as hell wont be the last. I see no shame in it either  |

| Re: Phillip Island................. as far as Bayliss is concerned, I think it's a case of the bike moreso than the rider....just look back at some of the results for the year...Xaus has, on several occasions, finished ahead of the factory Marlboro boys...if you ask me, the GP3 is a better bike than the GP4.....didn't Ducati made like almost 100 changes from the GP3 to the GP4 model? looks like those changes backfired... |
