medusa 16 #7 Posted March 10, 2007 Casey Stoner rode really well- there really wasn't anything that you could criticise was there (even if I wanted to, cos he wasn't the one I wanted to win). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
MuteWitness 10 #8 Posted March 10, 2007 Rossi did great to keep 2nd place with a clearly slower bike - Am not sure if Stoner will be able to keep getting good positions or if he was just lucky today. Glad Hayden didnt do very well! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
fredsredhat 10 #9 Posted March 12, 2007 Glad Hayden didnt do very well! Am I the only Hayden fan in this country? I dont think Stoner will be too consitent, He'll be fast on good days then fall off most others. Glad for Hopper to put a good show in.

BigDonWizzle 10 #11 Posted March 17, 2007 The next GP is in Spain. The circuit details Built in 1986, this circuit hosted its first race one year later, becoming one of the most popular Grand Prixs in the world. Situated in Southern Spain, it is a technical track characterized by two straights and fast curves of varying difficulty that make it one of the most loved circuits for both the riders and spectators. In 2006, there were 242, 000 people who attended the three day event. Thanks to its facilities and good climatic conditions, Jerez is often chosen for Winter Tests. Open: 1986 Length: 4.423 km, 2.748 Miles Width: 11m, 36 feet Straight: 600m, .373 Miles Left Turns: 5 Right Turns: 8 just hope Yamaha can get bike going a bit faster on them straights..
