That's terrible. When did he die (I thought he was ok even though he rode a Honda...)? :'(

Looks PERFECT!

Fastest Day 1 of practice.

Hard to predict with certainty but I know where the trend line (and smart money) is going.

The little bloke's long overdue for a bit of retribution. Could be a bit of kickass coming up this season... .....and game as Pedrosa is, you could find his stocks (and those of Puig) diminish significantly if Casey starts pantsing him...

Hmmm Dani has uncorked a 2.00min lap time today, not the time to count those chooks just yet........................where are all the Ducati's after the miracle front end fixes?

I'm divided. For the sake of the sport I would love to see Roosi and all the Dukes vying with the Jap manufacturers but then I would love to see Rossi with egg all over his face and big mouth for badmouthing Casey and his development skills.

Time will tell, but I think the trend line has been established - all the Honda's are 'on the pace'. Honda will be the bike to beat this year. Which rider........?

A long way behind the suzuki  . Sounds like the front end fix isn't a fix at all

Stoner, Honda complete Sepang domination

Oh dear, there goes the season  .

I think Casey will have to take Adriana on the back to give the others half a chance.

The Doctor should change his nickname to "The Patient"

or perhaps to 'the vastectomy' as I reckon Stoner might have him by the balls this year [I hope].

As a development rider Rossi is considered one of if not the best. Plus he arrived with some of the old team who know how to win the odd race.

Hey Marc,
Don't get us wrong, Rossi is a legend, but that doesn't stop us rootin' for the Aussie.

And the Burgess factor is well known and respected, but that is one of the reasons I was disappointed that he followed Rossi to Ducati. It would have been great to split them up and see just how good they really are - Rossi alone at Ducati trying to work his magic - and Burgess [and team] with Ben Spies.

Now that would have made for a really interesting season.
