Yes, we just finished watching it
Very fierce yet professional racing from all involved, great battle for the minor placings.
You just have to wonder where Jorge finds the speed out of that Yamaha when Rossi seems to struggle.
Yep, another fantastic year, hard to believe it was 12 months ago when we watched Rossi start from last place to race to second in the same race.
Bring on Practice in 2 days time
If u want to go on an expedition get a Land Rover, if u want to come home from an expedition get a Landcruiser!
I know this is talked about every year but I do feel the WSBK times are closer this year
In hindsight I should have posted my Facebook status as: "I've blown the head gasket on my 1997 XR3i" rather than "I've just buggered a 14 year old escort".
The police still haven't seen the funny side, my lap top's been confiscated and the wife has gone off to her mum's.

yeah, right on the money there Seymour, I was going to post about this last week then got side tracked, still have the info to paste in though.
Awesome times from JR, even though some of the notable top MotoGP teams didn't do the test & different tyre allowance.
Compare these qualifying times with JR's below, very impressive.
