Morning all,

Anyone in Oz heading down for the races? I spend both days there last year, and am seriously tempted to head down there for the Sunday this year.

Cheers,
Viking

If only.




Will it rain?

I hope it does between now and then. We sure as hell need it...

I think there's been a mix up with the delivery service and we've got yours along with ours ..... would you like to come and collect it before we all drown!

We had 2 days of rain (and a damp Sunday), so it was all good there. Except the rains all gone away again.

Can we have some more, please?

Fancy a joblot of snow? going cheap...

I think the first batch melted on the way over, it only drizzled a bit this morning.

Maybe you can send the next batch so that it arrives here in July / August? I'm planning on going skiing when winter arrives.

Whos your money on then?
I reckon Bayliss to win both rounds giving Biagge 2 seconds:)

Be interesting to hear what excuses Max comes out with!!!

Yeah - Baylis will do really well in the early rounds as the bike is sorted. I bet he'll be untouchable at Philip Island.
I think he'll find it harder as the season goes on and the others get their bikes developed - particularly as there's not much development left in the Ducati.
I think Toseland could be the man as things start to change around.

... but always happy to support riders from Coventry (even those that have moved to Monaco) - so good luck Troy ... and good luck to Cal Crutchlow in the BSB.

Those who know me know I will say HAGA!!

I will however be looking forward to seeing what gives with the MV Augusta.. No 73 Could prove as interesting as No 41!

It's a tough call.

I'd have to say that Bayliss for at least one win, with Corser and Haga not far behind.

But i do have to say that with 4 Aussies in the field, they'll all do well at the Island. Home track and all that, you know....

As for Max..... PPppffftttttt.... Either the rear half of the field or the gravel traps.

Have to agree with you on this DR, but I am a bit biased he's a really great bloke, used to live on the end of our road and went to school with my daughter, he's a local bloody hero in our village!
Another Championship and he'd be imortal.
Our other local hero Carl Harris aint havin much luck lately, then again he did stuff the Honda a few times last year!

I'm also in the Toseland camp, at the NEC he signed my autograph book next to my Mike Hailwood signature, with the comment that he was honoured to be next to Mike, a lovely comment and typical of his humble "I'm not a superstar" style

Now I have James No1# signature in his autobiography. The man is brilliant and I reckon with a season of the IL4 under his belt he'll be right on the pace this season from the word go!

Bayliss is brilliant no doubt about it but Toseland has the hunger and he's local so I'm 100% with him

Watch out for Biaggi though, he's super quick and he'll be there or there abouts in every round
