Nice one for Ellison. But how the hell is Colin Edwards going that fast!!! Looks like it could be a good season - only three weeks till we find out.

3

Aaah, it was raining. Looks like we’ll have to wait till the first race to see how well he goes in the dry.

4

Vittoriano Guareschi… 5min 13.977 secs ???

Did he peddle or paddle round the lap ??

5

LOL

Well I hope those results are indicative of dry weather too, but I fear Mr E will be rushing to the back of grid come a dry track.

But hopefully his confidence will be bolstered.

6

Did you see it on telly??! Basically whoever stayed on did bloody well! Everyone fell off, including Rossi! Ellison and Edwards put in a stonking performance. Three weeks until the first race, whoohoo!

7

I’d wager I could get round that track when it was torrential rain, on my K5 or Duke with wets in under 5 minutes, on a bad day, after a big lunch !!

In fact you could probably get round there on a crosser with knoblies in under 5 minutes

8

You’re on Joe, I’ll get my DRZ, you get the GPRep and we’ll see if we can be MotoGP stars!

9

Can I join in the race on me Raleigh Grifter?

10

Hopkins had the new Suzuki running well too…right up until the point he overcooked his front end for the conditions and ate it.

Watching the first 2 rounds of WSB has me chomping the bit for some QUALITY MotoGP action…I’d love to see 4 or 5 riders CONSISTENTLY duking it out up front each round this season!

11

I’m up for a Moto GP challenge … just missing £500k GP retainer to get on the entry list.

Jay - just in case we find the money has your DRZ been serviced recently

I do think you lot should get yourselves up north for some track days this year … Mallory, Donnington, Rockingham, they can only be a couple of hours from London.

When the weather improves I’ll been down to the Ace Cafe on a Sunday … if I can find it ! I lived in Winchmore Hill for 6 years, but still get lost around there

If they let 2 stokes back in I have the perfect weapon - 500cc’s of arm wrenching power …

… from the 80’s … watch out a corner !
