Phillip Island Test - 30th - 1st

Say what you want about Stoner.... the kid is just that good. Those times are crazy on race tyres, on a drying circuit.

Bad luck for Hopper.

Did I miss something? WHere is Rossi and Lorenzo? Are they doing a private test somewhere else ??

Gee Ryan, I thought you would have been onto crash.net before you logged in mate No, Rossi and Hor-gay are giving Australia a miss.

motogp.com is reporting Hopkins binned it in the wet and ripped his groin..

probably just a hernia, no big deal.

OT, I was looking at pics from the motogp tests and I noticed most teams dont have the rider's number on the side of the bike

I checked the rules and it seems in MotoGP numbers are only mandatory on the front of the bike

On the news tonight, they said that Stoner is the first ever to dip into the 1:28's with a 1:28.7! The guy just gets better and better. He is going to be seriously hard to beat this year. If someone can wrest the title away from him, it will be well earned.

...meanwhile Marco is beaten by both the satellite Dook riders, is it time to panic yet?
