Re: (big pete)
just got done watching qualifying. man those [freak]ers were moving out there. rossi was joking around a bit when he came in on the #2 bike after qualifying was over.
i think he's ok, and should be good to go on race day.

It was as exciting as the real race last time in japan. Did you see Lorenzo elbow-scraping at those high speed corners...i was speechless

Re: (Gixx312)
Most fun race to watch in a while. The battle for 4th was good indeed, Rob 
Can't wait to see Nicky and Casey on the Duc's next year. Going to be the team to beat. ******* Rossi is incredible tho...not going to deny that at all.

Re: (Quiks66)
It seems like he had more trouble getting from 4th to 3rd than 3rd to 2nd. It was a really good race.
I believe that if there were enough laps, he would have caught up to Stoner. lol..

Re: (zareff)
Yeah it was a pretty good race. It was cool seeing Nicky and Casey running up front like that. I'm sure it will be good racing when they both have equal bikes. If Nicky were on bridgestones he could have fought to the end. Should be a good season next year with everybody on bridgestones. I think if Rossi wouldn't have crashed and had a decent starting spot he would have won.

Re: (MAD ITR 55)
When Nicky went to GPs I thought he was in over his head and maybe he shouldn't be there. But, damn, you gotta pull for the guy who tries so damn hard and puts in more laps than anyone else testing.
I really hope the Ducati deal works out for him.
So here's to new begginings and better luck next year for Nicky.
Oh, and who is going to be his crew cheif over at ducati?

Re: (Sparkles)
Looked like a good race for Nicky, I was very disappointed when he got past at the last possible opportunity. Sometimes he just can't catch a break, like when he ran out of gas, Assen I think it was?
Gotta give it to Rossi though, for moving up the pack like that.
to Toseland for dicing it up with Rossi for a bit. He got MUGGED in that pack he was riding in though

Re: (backlash)
looks like Nickey Hayden is adapting fairly well to the Ducati GP9, and Bridestones.
MotoGP Test: Valencia
Times as of 2pm Monday
1. Casey Stoner, Ducati Marlboro Team - 1´32.464
2. Dani Pedrosa, Repsol Honda - 1´32.672
3. Loris Capirossi, Rizla Suzuki MotoGP - 1´33.325
4. Alex De Angelis, San Carlo Honda Gresini - 1´33.375
5. Chris Vermeulen, Rizla Suzuki MotoGP - 1´33.565
6. Jorge Lorenzo, Fiat Yamaha Team - 1´33.722
7. John Hopkins, Kawasaki Racing Team - 1´33.760
8. Randy De Puniet, LCR Honda MotoGP - 1´33.832
9. Nicky Hayden, Ducati Marlboro Team - 1´34.128
10. Marco Melandri, Kawasaki Racing Team - 1´34.152
11. Andrea Dovizioso, Repsol Honda - 1´34.340
12. Sete Gibernau, Onde 2000 Ducati - 1´34.451
13. Toni Elias, San Carlo Honda Gresini - 1´34.628
14. Olivier Jaque, Kawasaki Racing Team - 1´35.013
15. Niccolo Canepa, Alice Team - 1´35.459
"New Ducati rider Nicky Hayden ensured that the majority of the attention was directed his way, taking the Desmosedici GP9 for an early spin in his first non-Honda ride after nine years on Japanese machinery. The special livery theme of the weekend was carried over to the first day of what a sticker referred to as `Chapter 2´ for the 2006 World Champion, with his bike adorned with a bold `Stars & Stripes´ design. The American was taking things easy as he got to grips with his new machine in the morning."
