Lorenzo
Rossi
Spies (a guy can hope can't he)

Can't wait to watch, wish Moto 2 was racing there to see 40+ bikes rolling down the corkscrew. Would be an awesome site.

Moto2 puts on a HELL of a show....far more entertaining and far better "racing" than MotoGP, IMHO.

There are some kick ass up and coming riders too. Andrea Iannone in particular looks good. How he manages to run off and leave the rest of the field on a spec bike is beyond me. Nick Harris and Gavin Emmit were talking about it last week at Sachenring...I guess techincal control gives his bike a work over after every race and it's legit...but it sure LOOKS odd....Juilian Simon...Thomas Luthi...Simon Corsi all look like they have MotoGP futures eventually too.

40 bikes on track at Laguna Seca, though....damn...that would be MADNESS.

I look at their ages and then think about myself at that age.. They truely are the stars of MotoGP future.

40+ bikes at Laguna would be a mad house. Many would fall at turn 1 at the races start.

Was suppose to go to Indy this yr to watch but so many plans got changed we couldn't do it. Maybe next yr it will happen.

Just done watching FP1 on MotoGP.com and watching all the pre practice and post practice interviews.

Stoner was FAST from the get go...Lorenzo started picking up the pace about mid session. I guess the "secret parts" promised to Tech 3 Yamaha either didn't come or suck. Spies and Edwards are both PISSED about it. The Suzuki's SUCK in the cooler temperatures....they are going to REALLY suffer tomorrow morning in FP2 in the morning mist and chill.

Rossi says he's good to go except for braking while entering the Corkscrew...and at the bottom of the Corkscrew attempting to make the right hand turn before the Rainey Corner. I suspect he'll gut it out and be on the pace.

Nick Harris and Gavin Emmit say that DePuniet is going to race at Brno....THAT would be incredible. I saw a pic of Bautista's bike running over his left leg...not good. That is the same ankle that has a small hardware store worth of screws in the ankle too after a big Motocross wreck.

See Roger Hayden is 17th not 16th...
