Max Biaggi has one chance and WSB is it. If he goes moody in this then he can kiss motogp goodbye.

I think Suzuki still have a strong set-up and should at least get in amongst them.

Basket...Just you wait until mid season when Suzuki need a replacement rider for a couple of Moto GP races! You know who will get the call! The Roman Emperor himself.

However I think he has more chance of being competitive in WSB than Hoppers and Verruca who after all, even without Kawasaki and Yamaha in attendance, could only manage 8th and 11th today?

But then again...tomorrow is a whole new day! :lol:

Loris is Lurking!

And good to see melandri up there. Suprised with barros though; he should be entering his twighlight years :shock: Happy for him though; i think being in wsbk last season was a confidence booster for him. He'll get wins this season. Super-dark horse IMO.

Even Faller Stoner is right up there above the suzuki crowd...I wonder if home turf advantage has something to do with that :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Unless you like your time sheets with a very strong Italian flavour to them, I would not even bother checking how everyone faired today! :wink:

Looks like someone has attached an anvil to the back of Hoppers bike though! :D :D

Yes PH, but there is a certain brazilian (oo er missus) at the top :wink:

one-off testing isn't important.

A suzuki 1,2 for the first race is a deffo.

Anyway, Honda want Pedrosa...i hope Hayden doesn't ruin it for Honda again like he did last year...winning the championship was just not in the contract.
