Double edged sword. Do too well under the more favourable rules and you have to play with the big boys on their terms. If the developments of the later season continue it has the making of a great season of racing. Andy
I think crazy Joe is going to go well this year Good to see ducati back on it but wont they start taking fuel or tyres of them if they get a few wins ?
I am afraid that Jorge and Marc are not pushing it yet. I have a funny feeling that when the race comes the Spaniards are going to go at warp speed. I would love to see Melandri doing a bit better.
