MotoGP: Ducati looking strong

[Mr Cake]

Theres nothing in it between the first 8 riders! Checa holds up the rear of the first row in 3rd behind Barros and Stet Gibernau, whilst Capirossi rides through the pain of last week's big off posting 1:38.000 to take 6th on the grid.

Should be fun tomorrow!

Looks like it will be a good race, pretty close!

Who's yer money on then? Me, I think a certain V Rossi may head the field at the flag.....

Ped

I'm hoping for Valentino to win, but I'm not sure. Although it turns out that Sete was no faking the shoulder injury, I think he was fibbing about not being able to go race distance with it.

Dave

[Mr Cake]

Well, its Rossi's to lose now.

Dave

[Pedro]

What was Sete thinking, I know the rain was patchy but jeez...

I bet Vale was larfing his ar*e off when he saw that.

Thought Melandri and Checa did ok though.

Ped

[Mr Cake]

I bet he was! And so was I :D

I think Colin Edwards did really well to get back on after falling from 5th place. I think he finished in 6th.

I think the Ducati's may have better wet weather traction than anything else out there if you look at the moves Carlos was putting on people.

Did you see the 250 race? How brave a move was that the Dovisiozo (not sure I spelt that right!!) put on to get second. A few corners before he was lifting the rear wheel time and time again under braking... barking mad!

Ped

[Mr Cake]

I know! Last year I never gave the little two-smokes a glance, but this year I'm as eager to see them race as the big bikes :D

To be honest Dave, you get more people racing much closer together with the 125 and 250s.

And most of them don't understand the word "fear"! Most of the hooligans from the 125s have movd up this year to try and duff up Danny Pedrosa. He is one cool cookie - 18 years old, 125 champ at the second attempt and 250 champ at the first go. Ice cold racing brain and waaaaaay too much talent! The say Dovizioso is similar but with a Italian temperament!!

Ped

[Mr Cake]

He has one up on Rossi already by winning the 250 title first go, but Dani Pedrosa is a dull as dishwater :(

Who's the kid on the nearly factory HRC 125 with the green, white and blue livery? He's nuts!!!

Dave

[Pedro]

That'll be Thomas Luti - he's from Switzerland and mad as a fish on a bicycle! Hot tip for the future though...

Ped

[Mr Cake]

Thats him! He has a snail logo on his name on his leathers!

PS. Who's the gaffer on this forum? I want my own MotoGP section ;)
