I thought for sure this would have boothy logging on to the site, rather than reading it without being logged on.
We all know that when CE tops practice times it means something, but when he doesn't he's just testing tires.
Maybe this will be his single break out weekend like he had last year.

I'm sure you've been reading the ball-licking over on the breeze's website? THAT is pure comedy gold.

As a side note, Nicky really needs to get the wet riding and wet-to-drying thing down. And to have yet another wet G.P. is going to make for yet another boring race.

Actually just dropped in there to gander. Not even registered there. Funny reading the stuff there after last week.

FP1 was dry....same position as FP2 for Nicky in the dry then wet after 20 min.

Yeah, dry-ish. Had FP2 stayed dry for more than just enought time to warm up, there would be some serious times up there - and a much different order.
What was with Rossi? It was like he didn't even care. I think he's trusting (and hoping) that the race will be wet.

Well at least you have the positions right.

I wonder if Rossi's attitude will bite him in the ass this weekend. I think he knows the Yamahas just really don't stand a chance in the dry this week, and is out playing because "he's the best there ever was".
In the wet, he has a good chance of winning. If it stays dry, he'll end up on his head pushing so hard because of lack of setup. Sure he's good, but he should be doing his job rather than messing around, you know?

I think it definitely could......but with Rossi you just never know. He seems to almost always be able to pull something out of his a$$.

If it is wet...hopefully Roberts can keep his bike from having problems and push toward the front..
