Is there a book running for when Simonslidie bins it and who he takes out?

[Ozboy]

Eeeeek, unlucky #13. Hope Rossi was just playing around back there.

I'm convinced it will be before lap 4 and the victim will be wearing Repsol colours.

Should be interesting to note Crashy de Puniet is right next to Rossi. You reckon it might be the last straw if he gets a good start and takes Rossi out.

[harpo marxman]

Eeeeek, unlucky #13. Hope Rossi was just playing around back there.

oh yeah, same as he's just been playing around all season so far

I'm convinced it will be before lap 4...

really? that late in the race? well, you did say before

[chesty]

really? that late in the race? well, you did say before

Nah it will be more like the first corner

[mystery]

oh yeah, same as he's just been playing around all season so far



really? that late in the race? well, you did say before

The other questions is who will crash first, Simoncelli or Elias. My money is on Elias this week.

Come on Dovi, this is yours!!!!

[Barfridge]

Stoner followed by Spies, fark yeah! And Simoncelli behind to take out anyone else who tried to get close, it's perfecto

Lorenzo is preparing to kiss that #1 plate goodbye, Pedrosa is still dreaming about it.

Rossi's gotta be pissed, way down in 12th. Sure he might struggle to make it to 5th or 6th during the race, but that's still nowhere near what he wants.

[harpo marxman]

Rossi...might struggle to make it to 5th or 6th during the race

he could still snag a podium spot again if Simoncelli does his usual bit

[flashpixx]

really only about 30 mins of qualifying time due to rain. Stoner only did 6 laps, last one was his fastest.

apparently Rossi's bikes had electrical issues (two bikes different issues) for practice so only did 6 laps or something in FP2 and FP3.

Stoner to win unless Simonsmelli knocks him off.

[JawDroppin]

Stoner to win unless Simonsmelli knocks him off.

Shouldn't do - he's behind him...

JD

[96]

That didn't stop Rossi at Jerez though did it

[Drasius]

Stoner to win unless Simonsmelli knocks him off.

Shouldn't do - he's behind him...

I dunno, he had a red hot go at taking Lorenzo out from behind at Silverstone before he did it properly last race.
