Broken Wrist apprently

According to BBC Sport he dislocated an ankle and broke a bone in his hand.

Rossi says he will be taking part this weekend at Assen though last on grid!

Torrid season eh?

I'm no big fan of Rossi. I don't dislike him, but he gets silly when he wins...

No Rossi = more chance of Capirossi/Stoner/Hayden/Pedrosa having a battle for first!!

Better!!

There is more chance of me registering a win at Assen this weekend than poor old Loris or Marco. It is obvious that they are physically suffering and will not be competitive.

It does though provide an opportunity for other to do well and for Nicky to create for himself a clear advantage. Surely on the face of it this is now a must win race for him?

Casey Stoner's turn to win this week which will bunch up the championship a bit.He is as quick as the rest(apart from Rossi)but just needs to remain with bike to the end of the race.

Hummmm, Stoner does seem to have been at the James Haydon School of racing this season. Would be nice to see him fast and staying on the bike.

Not wishing to drop in to "I told you so mode" but this has always been an aspect of the way Casey rides. It cost him dear in the 250's and could do exactly the same in the main category if he does not learn when and where to push. He needs to speak to Sete!

:P

its going to be hard to catch nicky now.

Kwak....That is assuming that Nicky grabs a whole bagful of points this weekend.

Mr consistancy,it would be a brave man to bet against him being on the podium.Could be a HRC double whammy I think.
