How about that demolition derby at Donnington....I thought everyone was going to crash.

Rossi was the only one running soft/soft tires...I think as the times came down and speeds went up the tires started getting some good heat in them and sticking better. But like you say...that slide Hayden did in his leathers made the track look like ice.

Joe...that guy is beating himself to death before he ever gets a chance to win anything. Bad combo, a guy that tends to crash more than some, and he seems kind of fragile. Lots of these guys seem to be able to take a licking and keep on ticking, Hopkins seems to get hurt kind of easy for a young guy.

Yeah...that's weird, you don't see that anymore...must be because of sponsorship deals where the rider has to be on TV to get paid or something. So much sponsorship these days goes with the rider instead of the team.

It doesn't help that Hopkins is on that piece of shit, he's going to kill himself trying to get that bike on the podium. Shame to see his talent wasted at a prime point in his career. If he was on a Yamaha or Honda he'd be doing a lot better I think.

I saw the first part of the 250 race...about four bikes went down on the first lap.
