Misano 2008 FP2


Free practice 2 over for another MotoGP race. Stoner and Rossi are in their usual positions, although Rossi has upped the anti and is only 0.418 seconds behind the default pole position getter.

The next couple are Capirossi and de Puniet and despite Randy not actually crashing for once the wonderful MotoGP crew have managed to capture and post a video of him getting a bit of tank slappage. Apparently that's what the fans want, Sir Crashalot doing what he does best.

Also interesting, the official times have put Colin Edwards in 8th position, however for those that watched the live video you may have noticed that he clocked a time somewhere between Capirossi and de Puniet right at the end of the session but was obviously too late to be recorded. Will be watching out for him tomorrow.

And so much for Ant West and his fabulous 5th place finish at Brno, he's back to the form we're all used to, nearly 4 seconds behind the paddock leader. Although unfortunately Hopkins has skipped todays festivities because of sore ribs (and I though that Australian's were known for bludging) so we are unable to make an educated statement if this is because of the bike or West's Shiteous riding. I will however make an educated guess and say it's the latter.

Other's to note include a crap performance from the usually robotic like Pedrosa, me thinks he needs to man up and start riding the pneumatic engine. Dovizioso just behind Pedrobot in 13th posy, probably not where you wanna be if you want a factory ride *cough* Repsol Honda *cough* next year.
