That was mentioned a few weeks ago alright (he's already testing IIRC), 5 Ducati bikes next year.

FP3 - With Rossi taking a tumble, but okay.

it's on bbc.co.uk/sport too!

Do you think MotoGP should adopt the same qualifying procedure as F1? I'm just watching it now and it's a bit dull!

Next year will be a one make tyre only & having heard the proposed tyre allocations,(no qualifying tyres I think) I don't think they would have enough sets to do that. Maby they should just cut it down to 15mins instead of the hour, seem as though the riders treat the first 45mins as extra free practice anyway.:rofl:

That would be worth watching I think.:D

They could always head in the direction of having a "Superpole" ala WSB, but I'm not convinced by that, does make for an exciting warm up to race day though.

Well turned out to be quite prosessional & predictable really.:(

Vale set another record, most points in a season. + Yamaha got most manufacturers points in a season as well.

Hope next year turn out to be as good.

See you all next season.

See you all next season.

Who are you ? :confused:

:thumbup:

Who are you ? :confused:

:thumbup:

Well hello there, :thumbup: nice to see you again, have you been in the same padded room as Mr G?:rofl:

Yep, next season it is:thumbup:

Quality ride from Stoner today.....certainly putting the rest in their place this time around:thumbup:

Edited 26 October, 200817 yr by Lance

Today Rossi could not be arsed.....

Well hello there, :thumbup: nice to see you again, have you been in the same padded room as Mr G?:rofl:

Nah, he wouldn't have me :eek:

Had to resort to sharing a bed with Lance, again

Today Rossi could not be arsed.....

oh dear:rolleyes:

Nah, he wouldn't have me :eek:

Had to resort to sharing a bed with Lance, again

:shhh:

If Rossi Was on the front row, it well may have been a different result....

Yep, next season it is:thumbup:

Quality ride from Stoner today.....certainly putting the rest in their place this time around:thumbup:

He certainly did, maybe the wrists are better.

Btw Go on Melandri.............

:shhh:

:rofl:

Btw Go on Melandri.............

When I watched the race (late Sunday I fell asleep with 6 laps to go and he was flying) only when I watched the rest the next day did I see his improved performance went backwards :(
