NOTE: Sorry I'm so late. FP1 is NOW, so go enjoy.....

 

Can't fkin Wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! x! I've been thirsty for some racing. Hopefully this show is better a better fight up top.

 

FP 1 was an hour ago

Unless you're talking about 250!

 

That was a great FP1 ! loved how rossi dominated from the get-go! :up: man, that was a big off from Canepa!

 

AHHH....watching now..thanks!

 

I know, I know. I usually screw up with Assen as well.

Better late than never...

 

Yep, Rossi was by far the most consistent. Stoner and Pedrosa also turned some good laps, but not as consistently.

Lorenzo was well off Rossi's pace, and crashed in the hairpin.

Edwards looking good in 5th, Hayden not so good in 11th.

Hayden will win.

 

As much as I would love to see it happen...

He needs to remove the cranium from his anal cavity and figure that bike out. 11th ain't cuttin it. It would be nice just to see him on the podium.

This will be Rossi vs. Stoner

 

Stoner-1st
Rossi-2nd
Lorenzo-3rd
Pedrosa-crash
Hayden-8th

 

how about Lor & Ped crash?

 

Mmmkay - So what time is the race, Eastern US that is....

Saturday Night, right???

 

it's 10 PM on saturday night here in the west, so i guess it's 1 AM Sunday morning for you guys?

 

Or conversly, perhaps Ducati needs to build a chassis that is communicative to more than one rider.

 

What's with the body language? Did Val leave Jorje's toilet seat up or something?

 

maybe he's just a twerp

 

Nicky just needs to envision the kitten, he'll be golden!

 

Hmmm. Stoner finished first and last in 2008. How's that work?
