Thanks for the link.

The article had me cracking up.

Rossi on Lorenzo:

Quote:

“Jorge is a great because everybody agrees about him in the sense that everybody thinks he is unpleasant. He is strong, he deserves 9.5. I won't say he is intelligent because that's a strong word. Let's say he is crafty.”

Great link, but when did Rossi ever get "socked" by someone?

I remember Max delivering the mosquito comment in the post-race interview. Did Rossi back it up?

I'm gonna pick Stoner, though I'd really like to see Rossi or Spies take it. It's only Spies' second year, and maybe he's got what it takes, but I'm just not convinced that Rossi can overcome both injury and the cantankerous Ducati. (Or maybe the shoulder is all good, and it's all down to the Ducati at this point.)

HRC RC212V - The Empire Strikes Back! Rossi complaining about his shoulder over long stints, never put on his softs and is back on the time sheets. Spies in 3rd but says he wasnt pushing it.

This weekend should be fun!

Heh you notice the shoulder was good last week when he was closer to the top. All of a sudden it hurts again when he's in the back

Pulling for Spies to win it but not betting on it. Voted for Lorenzo to take it just because nobody else has. Come to think of it...I don't even like Jorge but as long as I ride a Yammi I'll pull for em'

Hopkins almost got to start this weekend as well. Alvaro attempted a low earth orbit but came down ok.

Rossi may be playing games with his shoulder, not having pushed on soft tires for a lap time yet, so I am not counting him out. Still if the Honda's are that fast, especially the sat teams, it will make pulling up to the front from a bad Q or start almost impossible.

I'll watch P2 before I call my podium!

Hondas may be fast, but it takes a true artist to win.

Hondas were fast too when Rossie went to Yamaha and proceeded to wipe everybody off the map with an "inferior" bike.
