MotoGP round 6 Silverstone 06/12/11 *SPOILERS*

[L8 Braker]

So, let's see.....

--Pedrosa will miss this race due to recent surgery
--Stoner is still the favorite to win this race and the championship
--Lorenzo will do well
--Spies showed up last race, hopefully that will carry over
--Rossi is still struggling, and trying to get by Dovi every race
--Simoncelli was on his best behavior and qualified well, only to look weak during last race
--Hayden proves every race he will never be a contender in GP again

Did I miss anything?

Is that a runway in the middle of the track?

Is that a runway in the middle of the track?

Many British tracks are built around old RAF Aerodromes

I want Rossi to do well, but it seems his bike is a train wreck, and he's got some parts coming to make it better...However, those parts won't be on the bike for a few weeks to come...

Marlboro Ducati's Valentino Rossi faces a wait of up to three MotoGP races before he will see new parts that he hopes will fix the rear grip and stability problems he is experiencing on the current Desmosedici GP11.

The Doctor, who successfully debuted a new engine in today's Barcelona race, says that although he has now got a good feeling with the front, there is still a lot of work to do with the rear and going with an unknown setting in today's race, where he finished fifth, was a mistake.

"We fix well the front of the bike but we lose in other places especially the rear. For this reason Ducati is working on rear suspension, some linkages and we have to wait for those for two or three races," said the nine-times world champion.

Abraham on row 2!

Nice work Karel Abraham! Bummer about Crutchlow, though, especially at his home GP.

He got lapped. :lmao:

[derf]

He got lapped. :lmao:

Just sayin the man has potential, even though he got lapped, he still came out ahead of Spies, last weeks winner Simoncelli, and the reigning champ Lorenz, three of the better riders on the Moto GP circuit.

Just watch this video compilation of his awesomeness

He has Lauren Vickers so yes

[smileyman]

I think anyone who manages to land a Moto GP ride wins. To have done it so many years, so badly must have some distinction all its own...

[defector]

This sport needs more guys like Colin, and less robots.

Really glad to see Collin on the podium. I've broken a collarbone. Couldn't image being out there.

[smileyman]

Colin is the real deal. Straight talkin' hard riding Texan. I bet if there were no 'lectronics on those bikes he would have a great win total...

The Eurosport guys mentioned during the race something about Colin's stage time being 100% un-broadcast-able, and now I see why. :lol
