Ruben Xaus just had a big off during testing at Phillip Island, he
went down near the Hayshed. An ambulance was called and we believe
Ruben may have been seriously injured, fingers crossed.

Bad news that...

 

Yep I've got my fingers crossed too.
It'd be great if he got injured and they gave the bike to somebody with a
brain.

Bloody disappointing.. I really had my hopes up...

You're a hard man, Clem.

Even retarded spanish giant crash-test-dummies deserve a little bit of
sympathy.

Or maybe not. I remember what he did to Pitty.

 

Yep, it took Pitty two more years to get that first win.
AND then the stupid prick goes and wipes out Bayliss twice. Rams him on
the warm up lap of a WSB race and than T-bones him in practice putting him
into hospital another time.
What good are private firearms when you can actually do some good and
no-one acts?

Yeah - funny how they only get posted when it suits your argument ...

Cheers

 

Well, you did post it first,i only replied as you did mention me.

In any case please note that these are "unofficial-times" the bikes may not
be in its final race spec and also rule-legal,sort of like in test/protype
spec.

Race day will be the only day that counts,they all look very comp. in time
with not much in it,which is what i would be wishing for a close tough
championship with many chances not just one or two fighting it out

Be interested what odds and how the bookies will be reading it ?

Not sure who is sandbagging at the moment but if Yammi give Valentino
another 20HP he is going to walk it in...

CDIHL

 

Yeah - ain't fishing a wunnerful sport

As could the Honda or any of them ...

I certainly hope so.

I think he'll probably do it even without another 20hp. Hp ain't
everything, Honda reduced the horsepower to make the bike more
driveable. I don't think there are tyres out there that can handle
full hp from any of these bikes. Edwards said that while the Aprilia
felt faster, the relative docility of the Honda gave him better lap
times. Watching Capirossi and Bayliss at times, I think Ducati could
probably learn from that lesson. No point in having fastest trap speed
if you root your tyres and come home 10th ...

 

Having his fingers crossed doesn't sound like he's too badly injured.
I've heard of riders having their fingers broken, or worse.
