For those who suspected Rossi of not being human...

Medical clearance received. Assuming he has no issues during practice/qualifying, he'll be racing on Sunday. I'm not really a Rossi 'fan', but, can't help but admire him.

Same, here hoping he has a safe weekend and actually can race. I hope he is fit enought to get ahead of that whiney ass Pedrosa. So Pedrosa can go off on his crew again.

+1. We'll never have a "best ever" argument without him in it. And this come back really is beyond human.

Of course, I've known he was an alien ever since finding this photo of him downloading data from the mother ship:

Looks like he'll be fine. Spent much of the session in the top 5 then Nicky and Ben clicked off a couple flyers as the session was wrapping up.

btw - Ben's first time at this track

I think Ben will eventually win this championship,maybe two years. He is a smart rider and getting his ducks all lined up. It will be a long time before any one passes Rossi's record.

I just heard that Rossi did a race length run in FP1. Sounds like he's good to go!

Here's a (supposed) quote from Valentino Rossi: "You can lose a lot of money chasing women; but you won't lose women chasing money."

In true alien fashion, Rossi battled Stoner for the final podium position and came up just a bit short. 4th ain't so bad after 1 month when the doctors originally said he would be out for 5 months.

 

[squeezer]

Yeah, good race, and the Stoner-Rossi battle was the best part.

I'm in awe of what Rossi did yesterday.

Especially as much as the back of that bike was moving around. That's gotta hurt!!

 

[El Toro]

HRC and Repsol announced today that they will field a three man team for 2011.

Pedrosa, Dovizioso and Stoner will all be one big, happy family.

Well, they will be a big family. If Stoner gets his own garage and Pedro/Dovi have to share one, like they are currently doing at the Valencia test, could get cramped in the close quarters.

Wonder how Puig will stir the pot and create a bunch of drama for next year??? Honda needs to punt his ass out of the paddock and tell him Dani hasn't won a MotoGP title with all your drama, so let's try it without you in the garage. It will be even better if Stoner beats Dani more times than not.

First ride on the new bike and Stoner is already within a second of his qualifying time at Valencia and under his fastest race lap. I do realize that you can't pass any judgment based on testing times, but, it's still interesting to see.
