Valentino is on contract with Yamaha through next year.



The rumor is that this is positioning for the 2007 season of F1.

 

[Fenton]

He will.

OK, next motorcycle topic.

 

[Nplateau]

If he does go to F1, maybe S.A. can go on a crash diet and field a MO MotoGP team. Fonzie and Ashley are handy with a wrench, so there's a decent crew, and Professor Hackworth can be team manager. KPaul could be the team mascot. Oh yeah, that's the ticket.



First post biznitches.

 

[Nplateau]

Damn, not first post.

 

[Fenton]

Yea, but you are only 43 seconds out of first.

 

[nokneedragin]

Per his finish and as they say in racing



"that makes him second loser"

 

[Fenton]

Hey, look at me! First! loser.

 

[1747]

my deep throte source tells me he will go Ducati after next season.

 

[Buzglyd]

Ducati might be outta money after next season.

 

[sportbikebandit]

Yep unless they can get the V-4s out their to compete in WSB they are done for. Put a fork in it. V-2s are dead in racing...

It could have been just my imagination. But I seem to remember the Parts Unlimited Duc wining at mid Ohio a few Sundays ago. (I was sitting along turn 1)



Say what ya want. But, quite often when you look down the track one of those antique engines is pulling ahead. (If I remember Bostrom had several seconds on second place?) (btw, Yes, Suzuki won the first race. Some great riding.)

You must have missed Yates knockin, Eric was better on the 750 Ninja

Mladin fell when Yates fell. You must of been lookin at some pretty girl when that happened. Yates stays on two wheels Mladin wins...I do think Eric was better on that 750 Ninja. Bet he would win more races on a Superbike spec ZX-10

You're right, Mladin had no manner of luck what so ever in the second race.

But in race 1 on Saturday. The man was super human. It was like the throttle was stuck wide open. Some really fantastic racing!
