I just had to post the picture,

This is Rossi today at Sepang, pure brilliance !

yeah.
oh yeah.
i hope he's back . . . .

He's back alright. Back of the pack. Honestly it's hard to watch him these days. He's clearly not comfortable on the Desmosedici. Normally I'd blame the machine but Nicky seems to be doing ok on it. I love Rossi as much as anyone but I really have to wonder where his head is. I don't know if Sic's death is still haunting him or if he just can't get comfortable on the GP12, but he's obviously not having fun, and the gloves have now come off after the season opener. This could be the greatest failure in Italian motorsports history.

Marco Melandri's GP career was ended on the Ducati too, maybe it's an Italian thing?

I, truly, I say ........... I have tears in my eyes from laughing!, I think you hit the problem.

I believe that Valentino Rossi is not finished a pilot, I do not think it has to do even the fact of our beloved Marco Simoncelli.

I think Valentino gives data safe, and that the Ducati was not able to turn them into reality.

I'd like to see Valentino, Stoner, Lorenzo and Pedrosa on a Honda all the same, I iacerebbe see what happens.

We can not make comparisons, when Stoner led the ducats, he surpassed his rivals in the home straight with impressive speed, given by a Ducati engine.

I think the Ducati is not going up, I think Honda is going too strong.

And a great bike with a rider like Stoner ........ says it all.

Valentino Rossi I think it'll be before the end of the Year.

I hope that everything will be resolved.

It makes me die laughing! Ciao. Carlo.

What are the "filters" in the exhausts for?
Keep the noise down or deaden the power?

They keep rocks out Graeme, when the Ducs are put in the gravel pit.
