Expect the Suzuki boys to do better than their qualifying form, both have a new motor each, but only one each, so they could not use them for qualifying. As the new higher up engines are only good for one race!

don't be surprised if rossi trys another move like he did at laguna last year... Is looking like lorenzo has rossi feeling threatened from within his own team. Something I don't think he is liking very much! So hopefully casey can clear out at the start, and leave the hot heads to trip each other up!

Aussie Aussie Aussie oi oi oi!

Wow, great 125's race... Bit of controversy there. One of the dis-advantages of no radio pit -> rider comunication, and a fault by the race directors by displaying the wrong lap number on the big display at the end of the pit lane.

Bring on the 250's... Woohooo!!!

Nearly as good of a race to last years Laguna Seca round. :thumbup: :thumbup:

Lorenzo has been my choice of rider to watch this year because he won the Rookie of the year for 2008.

It Just shows how fit you need to be. I read an article about Ben Spies in the World Superbike series and he eats, drinks, and farts keep fit routines.

He only has one day off to play his Playstation and to chill out. The rest of the time he's running, mountain biking, etc, etc. He has a great crib at the side of Lake Como in Italy

yeah, all these guys are super-fit, Troy Bayliss is another rider who is known for his insane fitness routine!

in this case though, i think Casey was actually sick...he sorta alluded to the fact that he had been getting worse as the weekend went on...wasnt making an excuse this time....

Just finished watching the main race and WOW! Those last three laps really got my heart pumping! Especially the last lap.. Great stuff! Can't wait till the 27th!

AHHH! YooHoo! One hell of a race! Had to watch the last 3 laps two times.
Yamaha Rocks.

104F air temp, 120F track temp- good thing it's a dry heat
