MotoGP Germany - Sachsenring Hype
I'm shamelessly rooting for Nicky -


From Crash.net

MOTOGP: Latest Motorsport news, results with radio player

Quote:
Hayden qualified on pole here last season and finished third, while Pedrosa has won here on a 250cc machine for the past two years. There has never been a more important time for either of them to repeat that sort of form here again. Hayden said, "We've had a short break and I'm really looking forward to getting to Germany - it's a track I quite like. In the first section its pretty well follow-the-leader and you've just got to be patient and get through there, but the last part of the track I really like. The 5th gear drop-away is really good and it's a pretty sweet feeling when you get that one right. There's a lot of racing still to go this year and there's quite a few races coming up at tracks I like, so I'm definitely feeling ready for the second half of the season."

His team-mate Pedrosa said, "As always this year my first job is to learn how to ride the RCV at this track. Sachsenring has some really slow sections and really fast sections so I don't know how it will be to ride this bike. For sure the first part will be very tight because it was very tight on a 250 so I'm waiting to see how a MotoGP bike will feel through here. My results at this track have been pretty good in previous years but of course in MotoGP it will be a different challenge and I'm taking nothing for granted."

Re: MotoGP Germany - Sachsenring Hype
Entering the critical phase of the season, Nicky needs to finish well. I think he has the form and pace this year to win it at the Ring, but we'll see.

What-ever the case, this race is always a good show and I'm really hoping that it stays that way for this weekend. Donnington was a snoozer for sure.

1 - Hayden
2 - Malandri
3 - Stoner

I'm just saying

I agree though. He'll wad it and we'll all laugh as he tries to remount without a step stool...

Are you implying he's gained enough muscle to actually pick it up by himself?

My dad bought his dog from that same breeder that CEII got his from. The breeder said that Colin recently changed his morning cereal from Captain Crunch to Fruit Loops. This he feels will get ride of the front chatter that he has had for the last few years. Because of this CEII is going to place in the top 4
