Pedrosa crashed

It is the race within a race......twice the fun

 

We should call them the Double-Mint Twins. Double your pleasure, double your fun. :biggrin:

 

Hayden crashed during Qatar QP. Doh!

 

That is terribly ironic. It's starting to have the faint aroma of Melandri '08.

 

LOL. Indeed.

Should be a very interesting season.

You know the reason was mechanical and he had to go to bike 2 that didnt have his setup , and the new 45 min rules are effecting everyone, so just stop it NCB

However, highsiding during qualifying doesnt exactly inspire confidence for us Nicky fans now does it? GAHHHHHHH

I see that Melandri has qualified ahead of Pedrosa

After Stoner and Rossi are done making Dani their son, we'll see how Nicky heals.

I hope he's ok

To paraphrase a recent Rossi quote " practice dont mean shit"

Oh and for those of you that do not know, NCB and I have a gentlemen's bet of a fifty dollar lunch or the equivalent. I have Nicky , he has Dani. The rider with the highest point total at the end of the season wins.

 

Damn ! The race doesn't air till 7 pm

I hate SPEED. friggin' fags.

 

Exactly! Practice and qualifying don't mean a damn thing. Just shut up and ride. Let your results doing your speaking for you.

Let the flag drop! :israel:

You have 7 months to decide where NCB will buy you your $50 lunch. :biggrin:

 

TOTALLY AGREE!!!!!!!

 

Get in on the team manager game at motogp.com, nobody from here is playing this season.

 

Are you referring to the MogoGP Fantasy League?

If so, I putting in my picks right now. :biggrin:

 

:thumbsup: Nice! VFRW mini league

 

My picks have been submitted.

:biggrin:

 

Done! Looking to add a Sonoma County Motogp Team Management Championship to go along with my Sonoma County Pool Championship :biggrin:

 

May the best team manager win. :biggrin:

 

I dont get it until 10pm unless I go online.

Speed.......dont get me started.

 

Thanks to some dying guy I missed the race all together.

 

You didn't miss a thing. Stupid rain delay. In the desert! Who'd of thunk it!

The race now goes Monday night 21:00 local time. 14:00 EDT.

But it probably won't be broadcast on Speed until Wednesday morning at 2:00AM after they show reruns of Bullrun and Pinks!

 

That's right, wouldnt want anybody to have to miss Pimp My Ride or some other such nonsense.

Speed sucks demon peepee
