Toseland has bronchitis and a temp of 39.2 Just watched him smokin' the rear out of a corner.

Hayden switched to an 08 bike set up to Pedrossa's settings !!!! and running much quicker currently 4th. HONDA SWITCHED OFF TRACTION CONTROL

Man, that was great! And exciting the way you posted it. I read it out loud to Fang. Now we're ready for the race tomorrow (I'll have to record it as we're off for three days to the California Gold Country to celebrate our 25th anniversary).

Thanks for posting!

Wow! I never knew you Brits could post online with as much enthusiasm as your TV commentators have during a MotoGP race! Well done. Should be an interesting weekend.

I notice you failed to mention Team Vespa, for our pathetic, cringing little milksop contingent!

My pleasure JB. Congrats on the 25th and well done!!

The qualifying is always as exciting as the race.

The Edwards save. How he pulled this back I don't know.

And a wave to the cheering crowd afterwards
