If ONLY I could get away from work I'd be there but no chance I'm afraid, I'll be shouting long and loud for Cal Crutchlow though.
Coming from Lincoln you must be a Sam & Alex Lowes supporter..I just love there B**ls out aproach reminds me very much of a young man I first saw at Brands many years ago by the name of Sheen
Enjoy your day photos please
Cheers Ian

l will try and get some photos, crutchlow is riding well at the moment, i have always always been a fan of Colin Edwards, but i dont know if his collar bone will be fixed in time.

Looking forward to seeing Rossi on the Ducati, and Lorenzo on a good day is a pleasure to watch, should be a good day out! will be riding down with the missus on the back, she is already whimpering about the possibility of getting wet and wants to go in the ZT! i reckon ill brave it on the bike! haha

I love following Moto gp but I'm not likeing the way they all seem to be ganging up on Simoncelli ,I know he can be a bit over enthusiastic at times but he's young and still learning,the last two outing he nearly got podium, first time he fell and the second the incident with Pedrosa, although it's a shame what happened to Padrosa I still think it was 6 of 1 and half dozen of the other and don't think Simoncelli should have got a ride through ,If you watched him on Sunday he wasn't rideing with heart as he nomally does so I hope all the older experienced riders haven't broke his spirit .

sorry for putting this in the wrong forum, ill watch that in future,

i feel that simoncelli felt a bit harassed by the other riders lately and that definitly affected his ride out in Barcelona, he has the potential to be a good rider, he just needs to finish a couple of races. As for the Pedrosa incident, it is unfortunate that he broke a bone, but thats racing, it is even possible that pedrosa slowed on purpose which caused the crash.

I hoping that there will be some good racing this weekend though, and its not too wet, or even worse, cancelled!!
