Weird, F1 and Motogp during the same weekend, which means 125 and 250 clash with the most exciting F1 race of the season...

Well, it's raining as I'm typing this. Westy is in 5th...
It can not be an easy debut weekend, but Spies is doing a great job!

West ended 4th in 3rd free practice session - Poor Melandri, 8 seconds of the pace & dead last...

Not really 8 seconds!! was only three at the end but I imagine he wont be there for much longer if rumours persist
Very impressed with Spies, he looks the real deal
And also rather unimpressed with Toseland being typically British and choking under the pressure. For Gods sake man why is the only Brit that rarely did this the one everyone loves to hate... Foggy!

2nd time on the bike, first time on the track, in the rain, qualified 8th about 2 seconds off the pace, but more importantly, within one second of 3rd place qualifier. If it's raining watch for Ben to get on the Podium. This is going to be very interesting, a new guy, just learning the bike, in the rain, qualifies 8th. Watch for him to get faster and faster as the race goes on. I think this kid is a talent, and is probably a future world champ.

How about Scott Redding, qualified 4th, with a rather old looking bike!
