Yeah I watched it. That crash did make me winch, poor man but I still don't think he'll be a contender this year, I do think you have to be wired up a bit differently to ride that Ducati.

I'm hoping I stay awake to watch it later..

Well that was an anti-climax. The first couple of laps were good but the last 12 were just .............Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Nice one Pedrosa for staying on the bike!!!

No real surprises eh? Thought Vale and Jorge looked very bored at the post race interviews.

Pedrosa did well to survive that incident, good rides from Edwards & Dovi too and Loris looked good before the firework show!

Lets hope it gets better. I want to see a Ducati with a rider that can race-can someone ask Haydon to get a move on.

eh?uh? sorry I fell asleep at lap 3, who won?*yawn*

14-04-2009, 07:36 AM

Only interesting part of that race was Edwards coming 4th........

I bet that was so sweet for him after the upset in the garage, felt sorry for JT though, all the hype just puts pressure on.

250s are incredible, I would love to have a go on one of those - 172mph from a 250 two stroke twin
