one true colour

Rossi has finally gone out on a Ducati - plain black with just a yellow 46
on the front.

He is riding like a girl, about 12s short of Stoner's pole lap

Valencia weather looks lovely.

And Colin is a metric ****-ton faster than Spies, which makes you
wonder whether he's just been given a much better spec engine for the
first time. Dovi is the reference point, I reckon, given he's the
only one not on something completely new to him.

 

Seems Parrish got it spot on: Rossi would be pretty steady[1], not wishing
to show his hand and Stoner would be "look at me, see what I can do".

[1] for 1.2 seconds level of steady

 

And now Lorenzo has knocked nearly a second off.

This should be on TV.

 

Bowls, is what the BBC thinks of that.

There's a loop of earlier stuff on red button on Sky

 

I saw that live on the web, but it was cut before lunch

 

Is the track still drying, or completely sorted now? I can't get to
motogp.com during work hours.

 

Talking of the one true color, today I've heard of a certain guy who
painted his 4x4 Merceded G-class in matte black and always carried a
rattle can of spray of such colour. Good decission for a member of the
"Upside down 4x4 club" (guess what the must-have-done entry condition
was).

 

....til he fell off.

 

Using the patented Mavis Beacon "Hunt&Peck" Technique, ogden

"I was going faster that I've ever been in my *whole* life...".

 

Did he break the ton?
