    time I got back after finding him as a rider on teh 1098, and not MotoGp -
    they had changed it to the Ducati Marlboro team, Roberts gone..

    Well the BMW "qualifying" session was boring. Shame about the weather.

    Good to see all the Yamahas have the latest fairing now.

    And of course, good to see Toseland fast on race tyres. But still slow
    on the straights.

    And good to see Hayden fast on qualifiers. Though he still seemed to be
    struggling somewhat on race tyres.

    What's with the satellite Honda teams? The bikes look like the final
    2007 Repsol bikes but there's talking about a "latest" engine. And
    strange stuff about how the various Repsol bikes mix and match between
    chassis and engine. This bit fits with this bit but not that bit. So how
    many chassis and engines are there? And how do you move forward and
    develop if they keep changing the chassis and engine?
