Would love to see ROSSI takin on his 100th win and the celebrations after that(the special T-Shirt would be up already).. and then Pedrosa finishing 2nd with Stoner/Melandri on the 3rd/4th.. my fav four in the Top.

^^ Amen

Well, in a very very rare example of good insight, DORNA has decided to scrap the single bike rule from 2010.
Also Dunlop will be the single tyre supplier to the Moto2 series. Far from being a prototype, looks like Moto2 series is gonna be a severely restricted and homogenised competition !! With spec engine and control tyres, the only flexibility teams will have is in chassis design.

In one way its good that specialised body builders like Moriwaki and even Team Kenny Roberts and others, will be able to showcase their abilities. But on the other hand, theres a limit to the amont of innovations that can be done !!

All to ensure there is close racing and pple flock back to MotoGP !!

Also in the premier class race, Rossi is on pole, which is a good thing. But the problem is starts are still a problem for both Rossi and Lorenzo. And two of the best starters on the grid, Pedrosa and Stoner are 2nd and 4th in the line up respectively !! Interestingly this is the first time this season, that Stoner is outside the front row !!

No matter what happens, I'm sure Pedrosa will have one of his rocket propelled starts and will lead the race round 1st corner, with most probably Stoner behind hom !! But Pedrosa is still injured, and we still do not know if he lasts the race distance !! He has already admitted that he got 2nd in qualifying only because he was behind Rossi while Rossi was on a pole charge, thus being assured that
a) he gets a clear path, just ask Lorenzo and Stoner how important that is !!
b) he can maintain a very good pace tucked in rossi's slipstream !!
so, basically his race pace is still not clear yet !!

Its been a trend lately when riders tend to try to "cheat" and get in the slip stream of the rider in front of him to get a good positon !!
It was used by Capirossi in Mugello I guess to get to 2nd, Sete Gibernau tried doing that with Lorenzo last race, where Lorenzo gave him an earful !!

I'm not saying its a bad thing, but it can potentially be dangerious. Imagine the guy in the front decided he isnt going fast enuff and suddenly backed off !!

Also looks like Stoner was pissed off with half the grid yesterday !! He had an argument with RdP, Sete Gibernau and then while going into the pits was pointing frantically at the Suzuki garage !!

Neways, a few hours to go, let the race being !!
Cheers for the 100 !!

ROSSI 100 ! where did everybody go ????? ! started partying so soon !?

Yippie...Rossi 100!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!

Rossi 100 Its time to Partee!!!! damm i loved the race today!

Nope, no party !! I'm still mourning michael jackson !!

It was a boring race after a very long time !! But it was still made special because of the sense of occasion !!

Congratulations to Rossi for his 100th !! What pple are not noticing is that its more than 200 wins for Jeremy Burgess !!!!
Congrats to him too .....

Lorenzo today didn't have any answers for Rossi !! And all the unnecessary aggression by Stoner throughout the weekend came to a naught (relatively) !!

Roll on Laguna Seca ! Anyone remember last year !!

Fell Bad for Pedrosa though!!

I feel so bad for Mika... but that bit was exciting. they should have black flaged everybody between rossi and mika on the last lap. would have made exciting. and oh my gosh that long banner of rossi's wins from 96 bought back so much memories.

yes i din't expect a exciting finish as Barcelona but yet rossi's milestone was special as a Motorsport fan

250's was good to watch as the 125's again niko tarol's luck ran out yet again. now attention towards sunday..

@ sukant. we still have a race before we reach California remember

p.s and where the hell did stoner disappear?? haunting Laguna memories i guess

1. Boring part !yup actually dozed off a bit !
2. And Nicky Hayden was amazing in the early part of the race ! Just like a slow bus in a narrow street ! blocked everyone behind for like eternity ! Wonderful ! he was !
3. Mika Kallio might not have finished but Ducati and Honda must be looking at him ! this fellow can ride !
4. I doubt how are Honda going to handle Dani Pedrosa ! Its been a dreadful season for them ! This is the guy for whom they dumped a world Champion,yet they have nt got anything fruitful from him for the past three years ! And i dont even know what to speculate for him too, I dont see anyone wanting him in their side ! How long is his contract with honda ?
5. And suddenly i see new friends ROssi n Lorenzo ! Is it the old saying ' If u can t beat them join them ' ! Yet again Lorenzo does a Rossi ! fall back and then overtake everyone like a piece of cake !

Congratulations to Rossi for his 100th victory
Guys don't u think today many riders in all the CCs today went off the track like capirossi , hayden and felt really sad for bautista's crash

I think TT Assen track's corners are of that kind .what says??

yep, pedro and Puig wanted to have their own way and so they did. the contract is up for review. interestingly HOnda wanted to sign pedro before barca but somehow they have kept it on hold.

i really doubt Honda will let pedro go. they have already admitted that its hondas falut and have apologised to puig and pedro. so i dobt it. plus MS with grisini so i see pedro for a year more.

I know there is, but thats for WSBK thread .. on here, its the dry beach (literary translation of Lagune Seca!) all the way !!

Altho I might miss the WSBK live tomo, as I'll be busy around town searching for the stupid battery for my bike, coz it died on me this week !!

Missed the race, had to take wife for shopping..!!

Rossi's 100 race victory is a great news.. but at the same time i'm also feeling low about loosing another legend.. MJ: R.I.P.

Pedrosa crashed again, his crashes and injuries always take him out of Tittle fight!!


P.S. = My bro was logged in to the system earlier, posted by mistake from his ID. Deleted the above post by Satellite.Kid. I clarified so all know that i'm not using two ID's

@ suren : Very true.... I do not see Pedrosa leaving Honda though.... he still stands fifth in the championship... he is not someone who can be written off....

lets see what laguna has in store.....
