| SPOILER - Assen Well after FP 2 Edwards is leading with New Lap record but all records have been reset because of the track changes.
Edit: I think Stoner is going to get Pole for Saturdays race
and for the  portion Rossi was taken to the hospital with injuries after a crash. They are not sure if he will be out of the race yet. |

| Re: SPOILER - Assen Your magic 8 ball isn't working so well....
Hopper on Pole, Edwards Second and Nicky in 4th. Rossi is now in doubt as he sits in 18th place on the grid.
This is Nicky's best shot at winning a race outside of the US. None of the riders in the top three can hang with Nicky or Dani. Should be cool to see newer faces on the podium after this race. |

| Re: SPOILER - Assen He needs tp for his bunghole! He can't have my name, because rule #1 of crashing...
You must be able to pick up your own bike and be tall enough to put both feet on the ground while you're running in the saddle to bump start it. If I ever see him in person, I'll kick his bike over and laugh. |

My picks. Fark off BDA.
CE
Midget
Hayden |

| Re: SPOILER - Assen Crawling back up that sphincter of his aren't ya good buddy.  Where have you been this season, mulling around mid pack like your boy? You can't just come out 8 races into it, back on the bandwagan and in full swing. Dude, there's an etiquette to smack talking.
CE won't be on the box and another constant that we've overlooked, Randy De Puinet will bin it within the first 1/3 of the race. |

| Re: SPOILER - Assen Actually Suzuki needs to win in Assen to sell more rolling papers
My bet would go one Hayden, hopefully Stoner can finish this one. |

| Re: SPOILER - Assen I always hold the faith that Stoner will amaze us. I think he'll be able to work up the pack and finish on the box.
Riders are saying though that the new layout is even more difficult to make passes. As it was, there were only three or so places that they preferred before the changes. It's going to be hard for anyone who doesn't get a away cleanly.. cough... edwards...cough....  |

| Re: SPOILER - Assen This scenario is dangerous. As soon as Rossi messed up, Colin is now at the front. Why is this dangerous? Because The Sook will again start yappin' about how Colin doesn't get the good stuff and that's why he sucks. But now that Rossi is hurt Yammi gave the good stuff to Colin. What I see is just a better chance that he can continue to finish in 8th.

| Re: SPOILER - Assen Race sims Colin is the guy to beat. Both of the Repsol riders will be headed to the front as Nicky will have it dialed in on race tires in the morning. Dani's race sims were closest to Colin's, running consistently in the 37's. Noboby knows if the stones will last race distance tomorrow so John and Shinya could be the dark horses. I expect a battle between Nicky and Colin at the front tomorrow (race is always on Saturday in Holland) so BDA will be foaming at the mouth in grey/blonde haired land  |

| Re: SPOILER - Assen I already gave my prediction in the other thread.
Race sims on practice day don't mean ****. Race day does. In other words, Colin will be headed straight to the back of the pack tomorrow.
He won't win another race until next year in World Superbike. 
Besides, WTF are you talking about Nicky in the front for? |

| Re: SPOILER - Assen I know this is already a SPOILER thread, but I'm not going to say much more than RECORD THIS RACE!!!!!
Holy shnikies - Americans up front all day, a serious battle for the win, Nicky is growing up BIG time, and even though Rossi didn't win he is tough as nails.
It isn't on Speed until tomorow afternoon, so everyone has time to get set up. Seriously, this is one of the best yet. |
