Re: Philip Island, Day 3
Maybe you should take into account that under a race sim, Doc was 6 sec's faster than anyone. 1 fast lap means jack. The order of race sims is way different to one off laps

The Kid is now like what, 24 or 25? That always cracks me up because he is 2 years younger than the Dr. Hope he does better than last year

Yeah, not much of a "kid" anymore. Guess I just remember that on his leathers in AMA!

Re: Philip Island, Day 3
I just think it's a good sign for Nicky that he was 30-some seconds faster in his race simulation than he was when he raced there last year. He just needs some consistency, the tools are there.

P.S. I don't think Rossi's becoming complacent... he's just got nothing to prove by putting down the fastest test times. He proved everything last year by putting down the fastest race times! He's just trying to develop the bike.

Re: Philip Island, Day 3
Okay, okay. Easy the Sook. I didn't read into the times that much. Maybe the Dr. is just holding his cards close to his chest. Only showing what he has to.

Either way, it'll be another great year for us, the spectator / fans.

Re: Philip Island, Day 3
sorry, I know that came accross a tad harsh, not intended that way.

Heard from Colins wife's haridresser's brother in law that Col is real happy with the Yamaha, and said if he's ever gonna do it, it'll be on this bike. Like someone said earlier, it's gonna be great for us couch experts watchin it, whatever happens.
