    Well, it's confirmed. With Rossi lapping just .4 off of Pedrosa in Malaysia, this means that the Ducati is simply 2 seconds off the pace. Spies and Dovisioso cannot be happy right now! Hayden is likely satisfied though. He was generally a little faster than Rossi on the duc. This confirms that he's riding well.

    That bike is just wrong...

    I'm wicked excited to see Rossi back on the M1 for this season. I've been a huge Rossi fan since he entered the premier class and hope he can grab at least 1 more championship in his career.

    Yeah, I'm pretty pumped to see him back in the mix. I REALLY wanted to see him win on a Duc, but I'd be stoked to just see him back at the front.

    His times look really good, though. I really hope Marquez can come in and shake things up.

    Pwahaha! Is that why Dorna had to mandate that bridgestone build a front tire that didn't dump everyone on their heads? I wonder if that will ever make it to their over the counter pills?

    Trivia.
    I like.
    in 2010 what race was shorten because of a certain tire co. and requested mandatory tire change for safety reasons?


    I'm sure all companies have been in the spotlight one way or another.

    I know. You need to push harder then to get more heat in them there killer!

    For me. I've never had a front issue that I did not cause. The only time I had a front issue was following Behinnd Rick D. with his THIGT inside T6 line trying to find some fast quickly.... not enough tallent at that time.... I have since worked on things.

    Stoner said to keep heat in the front Bridgestone he'd ride the front brake all the way around the turn to keep it loaded.

    i was just talking about this the other day. theres generally 2 types of riders. Development and Championship. Rossi is one of the few riders that is both, and im just not sure that ducati listened to what he had to say.

    I'd like to see Rossi back in the top 5 at least.

    I hope Marquez can represent.
