Forgot about Rossi's problem at Assen...
Apparently the resurfaced Brno circuit is now very hard on front tyres, which I reckon has a lot to do with Stoners off.
I also thought it may have been the reason why Vermeulen did a Corser and dropped off mid-race to come back stronger at the end, but maybe he was just spooked by the way Elias charged throughPhantom... Bike Who Parks

I missed the race and consequently missed how Casey has fallen off. Looking for the video but none of them was seriously telling me this matter.
If not mistaken, this is the first time he crashed on the Ducati, aside of Laguna which was I consider he only rode too wide. Did he push himself too hard, He took the lead on Rossi by significant time at early race, he should keep the distance without having to get pressured that lead him to the mistake.

Post-race testing - Stoner over a full second quicker than Rossi. Whatever Yamaha found in the summer break to get the M1 closer to the GP7, they're gonna have to find again to mix it with the Ducati at Misano... Stoner could well go under Rossi's 2006 best laptime on day 2 of the test (currently underway).

Just checked the MotoGP site - phaaark! Yep, Stoner went quicker again on day 2... a LOT quicker!
"Undertaking regular four-lap stints on the Desmosedici GP8 as he attempts to put the nightmare of Sunday´s DNF out of his mind, Stoner set a remarkable time of 1´55.904 on race tyres shortly before midday on Tuesday. That left him 0.764s ahead of nearest rival Valentino Rossi on the 1pm timesheet – the lap also being marginally quicker than Rossi´s two-year old pole position record."
I wonder if Rossi was on race tyres???Phantom... Bike Who Parks
