That's a pretty serious statement of intent by Sete and Ducati! Very fast.

Rossi 2 seconds slower than Edwards? Hrmm... More work needed? or sandbagging?

I think he'll have more important things on his mind and won't be taking any risks testing until after the season is over ...

Edwards looking for a job more like it!

Colin has nearly always been towards the front on 4th day of practice ( I know this is different, but essentially it is the 4th day running at the same track), - he has also been a very consistent qualifier all year, - he won the first BMW and is in 2nd place for the 2nd one.



Sete? If Marco wants his seat he is out looking for a job, but again he is a quick qualifier, - it is race distance that has proved the problem.

It's not that I don't like Colin, I think he is a good and brave rider, Assen showed that.
Sadly I said from the beginning "What are they doing giving a seat to Sete".
History has shown I was not wrong, he has messed both Loris and Ducati's year up.
Marco would be a good choice of replacement as he is not fazed by Rossi, an all Italian team, I'm sure the a lot of people would love that.

Oh! I thought that seat had gone, unless Domski has signed for DD again?
