Hayden has an epiphany

Less than .20 off Stoner.
Here's hoping this isn't a one off time.

 

Further noteworthy stuff:

Rossi's iron grip on top position.

Dovizioso faster than Pedrosa *again*.

Edwards predictably effective.

Spies continues to impress.

Melandri behind some of the greenhorns... it'll probably be his last
year in MotoGP.

 

Heh heh, I like that one.

Another year, and Pedrosa once again starts with excuses. His attitude
seems to be to simply magically expect Honda to provide him with a
superior bike every year. I think his greatest visible limitation is
his blatant, long-time inability to direct Honda's mighty resources in
a winning direction. He has no clue. He just rides. And that's not
even remotely enough.

Honda so clearly needs a new number one. So who are the top guys that
could steer Honda in the right direction? Why not a Spies connection,
eventually?

Short people got no reason
To live

They got little hands
Little eyes
They walk around
Tellin' great big lies
They got little noses
And tiny little teeth
They wear platform shoes
On their nasty little feet

Well, I don't want no short people
Don't want no short people
Don't want no short people

ps. There's some Spanish guy who's been doing pretty well in Moto2
testing. Ended up 3rd in the timings, I believe. Strange though to see a
Spaniard called Kenny.

 

No, they're giants -- I'm 165 cm. OTOH, I'm a bit[1] over 61.9 kg.

[1] OK, 16.6 kg this morning, and that's the lightest I've been in years...
