Evs7 Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 gonna have to start calling Lorenzo "sick note" he's spent more time in the track hospital than he has on the bike, poor lad. Gotta say he's one tough bloke though he'll be back.Super George will be back.Super George Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

techno Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 You have to laugh at the poor misguided young! Pedrosa will never be world champion in the big class.If Jorge hadnt have got injured He would be in second place now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicky's a nice enough lad, so I can't be-grudge him winning, but I think when he looks back he'll even think he was lucky to win. But you've gotta be in it to win it.Dani will probably become champion at some point, although in one sense I do kind of agree with Techno if he doesn't do it this year then next year Dovi will probably be on a Factory Honda, Lorenzo will have a years experience, there is a chance Pedrosa could retire like Gibernau, great rider and race winner but never made it to the biggest dance.harrycpr, do you like Rossi? If so take a step backwards and look at Rossi in 2000 - 2001. It's Lorenzo pretty much. Some people may think he has a big ego, but most successful sports stars do. If not they normally finish second. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorbandit Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Have to say used to think lorenzo was a super twonk, but since his move to the big class he proved he got what it takes and keeps his mouth shut he not slagging of his team mate is he.The spanish midget on the other hand blames everybody else for the bike not working, this dispite the fact that he was injured and could not do the testing on said bike. Hayden on the other hand puts loads of hard work into improve the honda and even when slated by his team mate stays proffesional.BUT EVEN MORE TO THE POINT 0.4 OFF LEAD ON A NEW TRACK STONKING PRACTISE JT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ade Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Lorenzo's out for the whole weekend, so he, unfortunately, is going to be struggling in the title race after that, which is a serious shame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest akey Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 Any news on how bradly smith is after his high side in qual 2?Nice to see scott reading up there this week though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techno Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 Brad smith passed fit to race tomorrow!and rossi!Valentino Rossi 9th 1'42.420; "This was quite a bad qualifying session for us! We had a lot of problems and now, unfortunately, we will have to start from the third row, our worst qualifying result so far this season. Tomorrow for sure will be a very hard race for us. We've tried to improve the setting but we haven't been able to fix our problems, the main one of which is that we are not fast enough on the entry to the corners. Now we need to work all afternoon to try to find a solution and then see what we can do tomorrow. 25 laps is going to be quite difficult but we will try to come up with a plan and then I will try to recover as many positions as possible at the start and through the first few corners. If we can make a few small improvements and improve the feeling then we can try to do something tomorrow, we'll just have to wait and see."In contrast!James Toseland 6th 1'41.820; "I'm chuffed to bits to be on the second row and I'll be honest but I did put it on the line a bit. But you have to do that because to give yourself a chance you don't want to be any further back than the second row and thankfully that's where I am. When there is a tight first corner like here it can spread people out early on so a good start will be crucial. That first corner looks a bit tricky but hopefully I'll get through it cleanly. I tried a lot of changes on the bike today and they all moved me in the right direction, so thanks to Tech 3 for that. Now we've got a decent base setting I don't have to make big changes and it is just a case of tweaking things. With the extra grip we've found from the rear I sacrificed a bit on the front, but we made a change today that helped with stability for the faster corners. The difference between the second and third row is massive and I'm happy to be back in the top six. You really need experience on the qualifiers and I'm gradually building up my speed and confidence with them and Michelin is doing a great job. Qualifying is amazingly competitive so I'm happy with sixth. These guys will not allow you to blink and I must have blinked on that lap otherwise I would have been higher up the grid. Everybody is so close it will be crucial to get that good start. I think I can definitely run the pace at the front and I am looking forward to it." from yamaha racing!
