.... and for those of us whose first language is English?

what plans are there to even win a race. let alone win a championship

You're aware that there hasn't been a winner on a satellite bike since Elias in Portugal, October 2006, aren't you?

The sport is massively weighted in favour of factory riders at present. For the likes of Toseland and even riders like Colin Edwards (who is a better rider than Moaner IMO), it's a thankless task.

ok so the plan is ??

Well a British kid has a great chance of winning the 125 championship this year for a start.

Certainly does.

yes looking very good in the 125s with 2 very fast uk riders

german gp practice today

[url=http://www.carolenash.com/insidebikes/bike-news/rossi-steals-germany-pole-at-the-death.htm#more-3925Superb last lap from Rossi[/url to steal pole position at the end and smash Lorenzo's time in the process

If you didn't see it, some spectacular crashes in nasty conditions. I'm sure that the crash involving Hayden and Canepa will soon appear on the video sharing site that cannot be named

looks like the yamaha show again

Get used to it.

Rossi wins.

Another great piece of riding at the end.

Not sure what Casey's problem was with the rear tyre, there didn't look to be anything untoward. Of course, far be it from me to suggest that Mr Stoner is blaming his poor performance on something other than himself



(Do you think that's enough bait for our resident Ockers?

)

Stoner still isn't fully fit and wanted, I think, a wet race. He has gastritis.

Funny you should say that, because he's been denying that it's gastritis.

Judging from some of the comments coming out of the Ducati garage, he's hinted at burn out being the problem.

jt is a joke . look at colin edwards . same bike,team. let casey ride that yamaha then he will show him how to race

You'd put Stoner on the Tech 3 Yamaha ? It's not a factory bike.

I'm sure I heard on TV that it was gastritis. Burnout - more like he's been riding his wife more often than the bike.

It's been widely reported as gastritis and anaemia. Casey however seemed to be unimpressed with the doctors over in the US and has been questioning that diagnosis since he got back from California.

The "burnout" claim came from comments to GPWeek on Sunday. He didn't use the word itself but it was a bloody strong hint:

..... and he finishes one place ahead of JT.

Is anyone going this weekend?

Three of us are going tomorrow and camping for the weekend. I've only started watching motogp this year and have plenty to learn about it but it's grabbed my interest far more than any other motor sport.

Possibly.

Depends on a few factors but would like to see Donington go out with another great race.

Looking forward to this race.

same bike . same team.
