There's some hope for a race tomorrow as it looks like the Michelins might be a bit more competitive round here. Then again...

Top moment of qualifying was after Vale had set a pole time and turned round to see Stoner beating it on the big screen at the track. Poor guy <grrr>

An interesting day at Misano.

Spills, thrills and good racing all round. I'll say no more in case anyone hasn't seen any coverage, but suffice to say, I enjoyed all the races I saw.

obviously, the best race was yet agian the 125, with the 250 and moto gp being pretty prosessional. Not as good as the wsb race earlier in year.

Yes, the 125s always produce some excellent racing. <thumbsup>

Getting serious deja vu. At least the Suzukis are taking it in turns to chase Stoner before being dropped halfway through the race. Hopkins turn to chase in Portugal?

It's looking like Yamaha are testing for '08.

that was a good race, but i am left feeling that it could have been a great race...
its as if it was building up to a real fight and then didnt quite make it...?
and when will RdeP stop using his kawa as a bowling ball? how many times has he skittled people at the first turn...

With about 12 laps to go, the result was a foregone conclusion. I began flipping channels at that point. Its something I've not done in a long time, during a race <no>
The season also looks like a done deal, as far as the championship goes, unless Stoner decides to start falling off the bike in the next few races, just to make up for not doing it till now. Considering the frequency last season, the others will be hoping that the law of averages will catch up with him <LOL>

The last few races have been very dull. I was more entertained by the BTCC yesterday.
