Mark, have you done your customary lap analysis? The reports I've seen
have Valentino comfortably up at the sharp end during free practice and
most of qualifying. Is this a case again of a Yamaha going well at what
is supposed to be a Honda track? Those Hondas down in 9,10,13 and 14th
look a little sad. And huge congrats to Tamada. this must make him very
pleased after last year.

Meanwhile in the last BSB meeting at Donington Park.
1 - Ryuichi Kiyonari - Honda - HM Plant Honda Racing - 1:31.952
2 - Sean Emmett - Ducati - Monstermob Ducati - 1:32.810
3 - Michael Rutter - Honda - HM Plant Honda Racing - 1:32.819
4 - Glen Richards - Kawasaki - Hawk Kawasaki - 1:32.903
5 - John Reynolds - Suzuki - Rizla Suzuki - 1:32.938
6 - John McGuinness - Kawasaki - Hawk Kawasaki - 1:33.650
7 - Dean Thomas - Ducati - Sendo Ducati Dienza - 1:33.654
8 - Yukio Kagayama - Suzuki - Rizla Suzuki - 1:33.709
9 - Scott Smart - Kawasaki - Hawk Kawasaki - 1:33.925
10 - Steve Plater - Yamaha - Virgin Mobile Samsung - 1:33.979

Those times are 2 seconds or so behind MotoGP and roughly comparable to
250GP. Reynolds doesn't have to do much to win the championship. He must
be praying for a dry race day. And definitely not a repeat of Walker's
engine blow up from a couple of years ago. Kiyonari picked a great time
to finally show what he can do. I wonder where he'll be next year.

 

I'll tell you what Mark, I don't think that a single person here reads
all and every one of your postings. It's way too f*ckin boring.
Honestly, save your time idiot.....
