I'm very happy I did not renew my subscription in the hopes of seeing the tests.

I know, but their big selling point is that you can see the tests, which have been rained out so far.

stoner in plain street clothes.  weird.

yamaha has packed up and is headed to Aragon for tomorrow.

I wonder if Rossi is broken.  I don't think so, but I'm really curious.  Even if he's not, I don't think he can ride that Yami like Lorenzo.  Lorenzo's style is particularly suited to the current gen of electronics-driven, you-can't-make-any-mistakes MotoGP bikes.  Rossi's style is better suited to the older gen bikes, where you could ride the bikes more easily by sheer force of will.
