Who wants to pay for my airfare :)

Not sure if Foggy will be involved.

The latest in the UK press is Foggy is unlikely to be back in time for BrandsHatch in August and may choose to sit out the remainder of the season to heal the injury.

I dont really like laguna for bikes after seeing the carnage there a few years back (Yanagawa's crash at the corkscrew and the pile up off the line) but should be a great weekend no matter what..and we have Matt Mladin joining his fellow Aussies and the possibility of seeing John kocsinski back in action..now thats gotts be worth a look.

Yanagawa was just unlucky with that accident. It could have happened anywhere really, and same with the start line incident.

Foggy will try as hard as he can to be back for Brands, but I don't know if he will be recovered enough in time. I hope so, just as long as Bayliss still rides.

Also at Laguna Seca we should finally see Bostrom run up the front of the field.
