Imola, Italy | WSBK 2012 (Spoilers)

It's not one of his or the Aprillia's favorite tracks. There's no where for the bike to stretch its legs there. I think Max was reasonably satisfied with his results there, and would have been more satisfied if Checa didn't take the double win. Still, I was hoping Max could steal a podium in race 2.

 

Unless he crashed right on the exit of Tosa, the section of track where he crashed is pretty fast! I hope there was no spinal cord damage.

 

Some very exciting racing action! What a difference the HD broadcast makes in the quality. An absolute pleasure to watch. Love the onboard stuff too, just wish there was more of it.

 

More news. Looks like the Kawi and Sykes are still improving with a 1:46.6. Over half a second on Rea. Checa sat out session 2 of the test.

I enjoyed the onboard too, but whats up with the clicking noises they were making? I thought maybe it was just a loose camera on the back of Max's bike but all of them seemed to be making the same noises.

 

Thanks Jim. You forgot to ask him my question though!

By the way, I would pay good money to sit in a room with a couple of dozens Uccios listening to Dennis Noyes while he describes Stoner's abilities compared to others.

 

Wow Camier podiumed!

The test I mean.

 

I am enjoying the subtle notes of a complex. At least you know who you are trying to impress.

 

I don't have a clue what you're talking about. Everything I say doesn't revolve around you. I'm referring to an interview Jim did last week.

 

I know you don't. Complexes are not usually diagnosed by the person that has them

I am referring to you wanting to be in a room with an man and a bunch of Uccios. (that's why I quoted it)

 

I have to say it is impressive that as a self-diagnosed Uccio, you have no problem admitting that you are not a man.

 

I don't consider myself and Uccio, but I think you may consider me one, and I would accept if you flew me out to the Mugello round of Moto GP. I would sit in a room for up to 4 hours listening to Noyes. For that, I require my plane ticket, hotel, race tickets, and pit lane passes to be paid for. No direct cash payment to me required

 

I only got an hour with Dennis, but Papa? Please feel free to send me some $$ anyway.

Bit better than his teammate.

Was not expecting to see Hopkins in last....test or not.

 

Thanks, Papa. :up:

The show with Dennis Noyes Noyes is out now. Plus Mark Bracks, James Whitham and Brett McCormick. Enjoy. The talk with Dennis is, sorta, super-cool...
