Title: MotoGP - Valencia last round for 2010.
Post by: Mr.S2R on November 05, 2010, 03:29:16 AM
Ok peoples the 2010 season is coming to a close!  What will I watch for the next coming months??  Anyhow coverage on OneHD as follows:

Saturday 6th November midnight - MotoGP Qualifying - there is some Isle of Mann stuff @ 11:30 EST. (30 mins earlier for SA)
Sunday 7th November the action starts 8:50pm EST - once again 30 mins earlier for SA.

Casey is 0.5 seconds quicker than the rest of the pack in FP1.  Will he pull off the swansong for Ducati?  Or will Rossi steal his glory and make it one last hurrah for Yamaha? ;D

Dear Casey

You can win this last round.  Show Rossi how it's done.  One last time for Ducati.  You did it in 2008.

Sincerely

Spotcom


PS - Shiny bits stay up, black bits stay down, and don't overcook it on the warm-up lap like last year.

good to see he's on pole, surprised to see rossi ended up 4th, looked dismal for a while there, seeing as stoner is the only rider who has made the thing work tuesdays test will be interesting to see what rossi makes of it. we already know stoner is going to embarass all the other honda riders straight away.
But i have to ask, what the make the beast with two backs is with lorenzo and his crystal decorated helmet? bit gay i reckon......

They will be a gazillion Italian reporters there just to see Rossi/Ducati combo, pity they wont be in red, probably all in carbon fibre black.

What will I do with that Casey Stoner/ Ducati collared shirt my boys bought me?

Damn Lorenzo  [bang],
Was really hoping Stoner would win this one, oh well, second is better than parking it in the dirt.

yeah still gave Ducati a podium as a goodbye present.  Whorgay may as well make the most of it as he wont have it his way next year - now there is something like 150 days to the start of next season.... :(

Yeah, too bad Stoner only made 2nd, but as you say, great to see him on the podium for his last Ducati race.

Tuesday will almost be more interesting than the race!

And yeah,  :( a long wait until racing starts again.
