This guy seems to think so but I get the feeling he has nothing else to write about and because of the F1 thing, it makes good copy.

Much like what happened at the Indianapolis car GP, though that was more carefully orchestrated.

Will it happen again at Laguna? Will riders on arrival be so shocked that they`ll unzip their leathers and go to the beach instead? Or (a worse but somewhat more likely scenario) will a "freak accident" in the specially extended first practice session trigger an eventual walk-out?

Probably not, all things being equal. MotoGP will, fingers crossed, get away with it. And the American race fans, those few who still care, will get the chance to see at least one genuine World Championship race in 2005.
