I rooted for him back in the day....but lost interest in his career after he got too drunk to ride the next day for Suzuki...forget which circuit it was at....and then almost got himself killed on that horri-bad POS that Kwacka had on the MotoGP grid.

I hate Jerez.

I heard Rossi told Ducati after Losail that the bike in the current form won't win anything, and that a bunch of changes were being made for Jerez.

Looks like maybe this could be Simoncelli's big chance.

Soupplanet says that higher temps and high winds was what slowed the P2 times. I think it will be a Stoner day if he can stay on, a Jorge day if he doesnt. Pedro's shoulder is iffy and Dovi is iffy any day. He might come to life on Sunday but so will Spies, Rossi, Simo, and there just isnt many good passing spots at Jerez. You have to get off line and push someone else off line to pass and that usually slows you both. Coming from the back is very hard and there usually isnt a chance to chase the aliens once your free...

If that's the case put sic up a few spots. 3rd or 4th. He DOES NOT care about margin of safety in passing and will happily stuff anyone. Id really like to see him duke it out with rossi (assuming rossi can keep up) I can just imagine the drama

Looks like Hopper can still get the bike leaned over without too much trouble.
