British Grand Prix BBC2 IN 5 minutes !
« on: 12 June 2011, 12:28:14 »

The proper one obviously. :)
Stoner will disappear (or crash maybe ::)), Rossi is 13th (out of 15 ?) on the grid  :o..........and poor Cal Crutchlow had a big off yesterday and broke his collarbone, so wont be starting.
Hopefully a good race - its been a bit tedious by bike standards, so far this season.

Did you see some of the slo mo stuff on Stoner yesterday? Incredible! He may be a Stroppy idiot. But Christ he can ride a bike.

Real shame for Cal, bless him. He knew he busted his collar bone before he even stopped sliding. Cold tyres again.  :'(

I also think that the fact Silverstone is effectively a new track, and therefor all teams start from the same base line of info, we are seeing a more realistic rider grid. Rossi aside, note Abraham is doing well. 6th at one point. :y

hmm....last hour and a half of Le Mans , with cars driving around at about a third of their potential due to the major placings already being decided and no-one wanting to break the car near the finish, or the most awesomely quick bikes in the world being ridden by the bravest and most skillful riders imaginable - in the wet.....decisions decisions... ::)

Fixed that to appear that it was written by someone who has a brain cell count above single figures. :y

In fact, before the rain started this morning, you could hear the support races/practice around 8:30.  Sounded like cars though, not revving enough for bikes.

My prediction - Simoncelli will storm onto the lead - and then crash. ::) ;D...........maybe Lorenzo for the win, or even Spies. Stoner should win (with that bike) but will he stay on it ?

Changed my mind - Rossi for the win, from 13th on the grid. Now that would be a fairytale. ::) :)

Could have been the Moto2 bikes - the 4 stroke 600,s which replaced the 250 two strokes. ;).......Definetely no car racing there today.

Its a long way away, so can only hear because the wind is that way, so that may distort it.  But did sound more like that deep roar of a load of v8s around 4k rpm.

Unless it was a load of TVRs going to watch, doing donuts on the A43 ;D
