WOOT!!!

Will be on the mound at the end of the back straight in 24 hours!!!

 

I hope the American CRT entries are able to run in the race. It seems like we are the only country so far to enter a wild card CRT. Would be nice to see it in race action.

 

Anyone know when the press conference is at Indy today?

Bradl for podium! Now, I have to prep the Bautista crash thread.

 

no way is Bradl gettin on the box

 

I can dream. I'm a Suzuki fan after all. That should explain how delusional I am.

 

I'll wave from the gate accross the track. For whatever reason we always end up there first.

 

This has to be one of the slowest MotoGP threads ever! I guess everyone is actually AT the races.

 

friday morning.

Got up, ate sh*tty breakfast at fleabag hotel. Got creds, staked out spot in media center. Went out to find the XR1200 boys (esp. Pete) and ended up having a few minutes with the Ben for MotoPod thanks to Mary. Found Pete, got show stickers fresh from Chris Kruzel. Watch for 'em on Pete's bike.

Back in media centre with AC. Want real food. Wondering if Toni Elias is ready after Barbera's crash. Want real food and a beer. That order is flexible.

It's early days yet.. :up:

Barbera's crash

My right lower leg was in pain watching him as he tumbled.

I liked that the medic grab him by there too. I doubt he could know.

 

All the cool kids are here.

no they're not

 

It is looking good for Nicky, Ben, and Steve Rapp. It looks like Yates and the GPTech crew have some work to do if they want to make the starting grid.

 

Any updates on barberas condition?
