Its been a bit quiet on this board for a bit.
Maybe its due to the lowly finishing (by their standards) positions of the Desmosedieci boys,or the inevitable Hodgy WSB crown.
I did'nt think that Troy or Loris would set the track alight at Motegi or Sepang.The "stop,go" nature of the circuits does'nt seem to suit the bikes.Also the 'Sedieci runs very hot,not good in the Malaysian heat.
But what about the next round?
Troy Bayliss around his home track,Phillip Island.Remember him riding around everyone on a underdog 250 some years ago?Got to be worth getting up early for this sunday.

yep - just what the Eurosport boys were also discussing recently.

Personally, I'd love to see Troy take the chequered flag, as we know know both the Ducati riders are hero's but I think Troy deserves more recognition than he has so far.

roll on bleary eyes !!!!

It looked like a Dook 1-2 untill the last couple of seconds of the se*****hat man Rossi pipped 'em at the post.How the f@ck does he do that?.......Amazing!
Here's the provisional front row,
Rossi
Capirossi
Bayliss
Biaggi
The first three riders in the 1'.30" bracket.
Second row,
Gibernau
Haydon
Checa
McCoy(yes really!)
And a big shout for Jezza,in 9th.
Fastest rider out there was Capirossi at 323.5kph,just over 202 mph!
