      that was not for land speed record, but a more uniform weight distribution, while keeping the human weight and engine weight as close as possible.

      man, i was just thinking aloud.

      As always Stoner leading the pack.

      Rossi's bike is seriously lowered I guess, sparks fly over as soon as he is into a deep corner.
      ya he is performing better. but hayden is always ahead of him.

      lowered bike, ..see something like i suggested. just kidding.......

      • trying his launch Lorenzo crashed. Probably cold tyres. If that is the case then a real dumb move by him. Obviously tyres would have become cold with slow riding.

        Edit: Tweet from YamahaMotoGP:
        Jorge's traction control was disengaged for a practice start, this meant he lost control going into the corner...
        Hope it is not a cover up for Lorenzo's goof up
        Edit: QP Over!
        WOW!!!! Huge Respect for Lorenzo. Almost all except some laps in 1.21s

        Surprised with Rossi's qualifier.
        Rossi generally does better in races than the qualifiers, which means he could pull out something in the race if JB could do some of morning WUP session magic

          Lorenzo proved once again, stoner managed a front row in last seconds otherwise at 5 mins before end, it was both yamahas in front row and stoner pushed to second row.

          for the time being i am happy for rossi finally managing a 7th place qualification, though a 6th place could have put him in 3rd row. still a lot better. so, the ducati is improving bit by bit and rossi is coming to terms with it.

          lots of crashes in qualifying run.

          did you guys see, at one point rossi's rear tyre was like one feet in air while braking as hard as he can. man, he is giving it his all.

          • ^^I knew you would have pretty exciting comments after today's qualify
            now since rossi qualified in 7th (just missed 2nd row) lets hope he can finish within top five if not on the podium.

            at one time when spies got P1 and I thought its his day, but after his crash I knew the other factory Yamaha and the repsols would attack

            Something I noticed, half a second seperates the first 6..another half a second seperates 6th and Rossi.
            Though the race is a whole new ball game but right now rossi only seems to be the best from the rest. Unless Super Sic has naughty ideas :P

            Rossi's braking didn't seem to bring the wheel 1 feet in air..could have been 3-4inches for sure..didn't seem more.

            Just because you haven't seen it doesnt mean its impossible...expect the unexpected.

                • Lorenzo is gonna win this one..(barring any crashes/sic..),

                  Rossi just needs to find a few tenths more...at least he would be able to battle with Spies/Dovi/Sic...

                  Comment


                  • Yeah even me thinks Lorenzo will get this one and he will be at the top of the table!
                    but i have a feeling Rossi will finish at 4 or 5!

                        even i think the same.if sic can perhaps take down JLO,rossi can even end up on the podium!

                          I hope he takes down Stoner and JLo both.

                          • You ppl think SIC gonna crash or you really want him to crash in JLO??

                            Lorenzo's not gonna win. Its Dani-boy all the way.. Stoner-lorenzo might try and battle taking each other out.( Last corner please)
                            Have a feeling that Rossi might fight for the podium. Hope they dont try and experiment some more settings and screw up the bike for rossi.

                            Not to count Dovi out. He got good race pace here.

                            @sumit:- Thanks for the JLo Pics

                            • i wish that rossi can bring up some better results, and this time he has the chance.

                              but pratically speaking ducati rossi combination still does not have the pace to challange top five. if he can come in top 5, it will be a better result. lets hope.

                              till then i am downloading all ducati paddock girls photos....to kill time....
