    Common taters are expecting a sub 2min lap from Stoner if the wind drops and the track temp comes up for Qually - 15 Degrees air temp at the moment - windy as you like - Brrrrrrr!
    Was a bit chilly wasn't it! We spent most of the day drifting between Luffield, Priory, Bridge and Farm. All ok spot, was just trying to keep warm. Did u stay for Silverstone 200? What a waste of time that was, started an hour late and then got red flagged. Just got home.

    Was in the grandstand at woodcote for Fp3, really cold, went to the back of the wing for qually - even worse.

    Saw the aftermath of Rossi falling off, wasn't looking - saw Nicki slide off - set off home when the rain started.

    Going up late tomorrow bout 11ish, hope the rain stays off, wind is supposed to ease - if it pisses down I'll watch it on the telly.

    Both offs were identical. In the slomos You could see the fronts fully loaded and right at the tip in point the rears lifted as they hit the crest. Thankfully neither were hurt.
    When was the last time you did something for the first time?

    Crutchlow out in morning warmup. It's dry and partly cloudy, but talk is it is still iffy for race time.

    We have shitty weather, you have native wildlife that wants to sting/poison/eat everything. What a hole!


    On balance I'll stick with the rain

    Crutchlow is the man! I would vote for him to take Spies ride next year at this point.

    Never saw Rossi on BBC coverage during the whole race .... might be the time to think of other things?

    Credit to Lorenzo for stopping the Stoner machine. Personally I thought it was going to be Mr Stoner's championship again this year. Spies is going to get the bullet and if Yamaha have any sense, install Cal PDQ. Fantastic.

    Interesting that Paul Bird is going to run another Brit to partner Ellison next year. Tommy Hill?

    After Moto2 Jed, honours even ... 8-2 to me

    Crutchlow rode an absolute blinder. I think he has really increased his chances of a factory ride next year.

    Nope, never watched it.

    Actually Australia is on my to-do list for the next 3-4 years, but there is no denying an alarming amount of your wildlife is seriously fucking lethal!

    Crutchlow just 4 seconds behind Spies on an inferior bike after starting dead last. That was the ride of a hero.
