Sepang Free Practice
OK it's lunch time and I can't believe no one has posted about Sepang Free Practice yet........

Capirossi fastest by almost a full half second! OK, so it's only Free Practice, but seriously after his win last week and in Malaysia last year, I'm really looking forward to the race.

Are the Bridgestones that much stronger at Sepang?

According to the BBC website, Pedrosa was quickest for some time, then had a 'nasty off'... might even be doubtful for the race...

If you have the subscription service to the MotoGP website then there's an awesome clip of this. Pedrosa is litterally thrown through the air. He is up and walking directly after though.

Don't have the subscription service - any way of saving the clip and posting/emailing?

I watched the Pedrosa clip on Eurosport yesterday. From the on-board camera veiw, he appeared to clip his knee on the kerb and then get shot off the bike like a cannonball. It was surreal.
That had to hurt

Unfortunately they're cleverer than that. There's no straightforward way of downloading the clips from the MotoGP website.

I'm sure there is a way of capturing streaming video but all I've been able to figure out so far is that they use a company called Akamai for their video hosting. We use these same guys at work and they are always touting their "security features."

The Capi was aweson, just been watching the session on Eurosport. If all goes well, no one is going to touch him again.

Jeez, he's really going overboard on that counter-steering thing!
