I knew it was a bit poor being Italian, but this is a brown trouser moment:

Marchesini wheel per chance? Think Joey Dunlop had a similar issue at the TT one year? That didn't end so well.

Or was it Robert Dunlop?

Twas Robert. He never fully recovered from the injuries, never stopped him though - mad Irishmen and all that. ::) :D.
Tunnie - dont kid yourself about Ducati/Italian build quality. Italian(Ducati/MV etc.) bikes are for the most part exquisitely engineered machines, which are the best in the world in many respects. ;)

True- although I thought that Marchesinis were top drawer stuff ? :-/
These things happen in racing though.Everything stressed to the limit. I remember seeing Chris Walker sat on the grid not moving on  Kawasaki a few years back. The sprocket was doing 150mph but the bike wasnt moving. Apparently the lugs which sit in the cush drive sheared when he dropped the clutch.

Yep, Stoner on that Honda is looking uncatchable at the moment.The Ducati/ Ross icombination is obviously struggling. 12th of 17 on the grid. could be his worst qualifying ever ? It looks like it will take a while to sort, but Im sure Jerry Burgess will get there in the end.
