Re: Practice times from Turkey...MotoGP
I've been saying it.... Stoner will be rookie of the year! He's just gifted

I'll go so far as to say that he'll place higher than Hayden in his rookie season which was 5th

Way to go Nicky!!! NTAC huh

I think Rossi is sandbagging to make it interesting. "De bike is ahh.. a little shakey. Not so gud right now, make it berry hard to go fast." Come post interview, "Yeah, for sure de bike was a problem, but I overcome and get de win anyway. So it's berry gud for championship and gud for yamahka."

It might rain on Sunday giving Colin his best chance to finish above 8th.

Re: Practice times from Turkey...MotoGP
Did you listen to Haydens interview on motogp? He was saying that he's actually looking forward to a rain race since he's work very hard on that since last year and wants to try it out.

Re: Practice times from Turkey...MotoGP
No I hadn't heard that. But I remember during the winter practice sessions he was only one of few guys out in the rain. He had said that was his biggest area for improvement, so let's hope it pays off.

Re: Practice times from Turkey...MotoGP
Isn't this weekend's race Rossi's 100th GP start. Of course he's sand bagging. By final qualifying he'll be on the front row from which point he'll win.... assuming it doesn't rain.

Re: Practice times from Turkey...MotoGP
Rain doesn't slow Rossi down one bit. If you are a believer in the Church of Motorcycling than you are aware of the similar tale from Christian faith of Jesus walking on water, Rossi rides on it.

The only thing that affects Rossi in the rain is getting a poor start and being taken out by someone playing hero on a Suzuki.

On an un-related note... what do you think about the chances Spies will eventually try his hand at MotoGP?

The real question here is, who would offer him the chance? I'd hate to have Suzuki do it and waste a good talent with a crappy bike.

Once Suzuki has wasted all the youth, talent, and enthusiasm out of Hopkins and Chris V.

Because for some reason, that NTAC keeps getting better. Unlike gods gift to racing who rides back-up for Rossi.

No, no. I'm talking about the NTAC that didn't do anything to ever earn a MotoGP ride in the first place. Never did much of anything in the AMA. You know, Hopkins.

Guess who's on pole?

**spoiler space**































































Vermuellen on the Suzuki DNF-R

Followed by Nicky and Capirex. Rossi's back in the 4th row.... not that it matters. The lineup is all out of whack due to rain during qualifying. Pedrosa's at the back somewhere... couldn't keep his Honda rubber-side-down.

Race is tomorrow on Speed at 2 pm mountain.
