Misano 2008 FP3

Free Practice 3 ended up similar to yesterday's morning session. Chris Vermulen has improved slowly throughout the weekend ending up in 4th place. Hopefully this puts him in good stead with the folks over at Suzuki who are planning of halving his salary for next year if he want to stay on. They sure have an odd way of rewarding people over there. Capirossi gets signed for next year and is currently 10th in the Championship, oh but their not sure about Vermulen who is 7th. Crazy Suzuki logic, I'm just glad they didn't made by motorbike backwards.

Turns out the Kawasaki DOES suck with West and Hopper in 17th and 18th positions. Doesn't bode well for Melandri next year, although in 16th position after FP3 I guess there's really nowhere else to go but up. At least he's in good company down bottom with the current Kawasaki Team.

James Toseland doing a bit average finishing in 13th. He started off the session fairly well spending a bit of time in the top 5 but slowly descended into normalcy. Nicky Hayden in 15th seems to be acting like an employee who knows he's got another job lined up for next year. Oh that's right his heel is still hurting, If you say so Nicky.

Oh and Stoner finished in first with Rossi in second.

MotoGP LD.
