They'll have to get out there and push him.

The write ups I read about the race did mention that Marco was escorted around the paddock by security guards. I was just joking about it in my earlier post. :P He damn sure blew that start from the pole. [bang] Glad the rain didn't bugger the race up and just about everyone kept it on 2 wheels, rubber side down. Again, sorry about Edwards and the collarbone. Hope he mends fast... also hope it doesn't screw up his shooting too bad!! [laugh] Maybe he should do some "color" TV commentary at the Silverstone meet if he has to miss it. You know that would be very entertaining! ;D Besides that kind of a ho hum race. But I did like seeing The Ben on the podium!! When's the next WSBK race? ;)

I have flying honey badgers and I'm not afraid to use them!

The fact that flame throwers exist is proof that someone somewhere said "I'd sure like to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."

CONFIDENCE: the feeling you have right before you understand the situation.

I fell asleep.

That time Ben put up was the only lap of the session at that pace.  I don't see him challenging.  The rest of his lap times were junk.

it's qualifying PRACTICE... most, if not all, of these guys spend the session finalizing their race setups.

with a single "non-junk" lap spies put himself 4th on the grid with a podium finish in the race.

They should have had the cameras on Capirossi, Barbera, Edwards, and Bautista the whole time. Much more exciting than watching Stoner run away with it.......again

Which woulda been extra weird considering Colin was watching the race from the Tech 3 garage.

Boring race, other than seeing Stoner slide the bike.  [bow_down]

Good to see Spies up there.  [thumbsup]

The Ducs suck.

MotoGP is making DMG/AMA racing look pretty damn good. And that's coming from the chief #1 pisser, moaner and complainer of the DMG take over a couple of years ago. What does that say? [laugh] Again... when's the next WSBK race? [roll]
