China is underway now with some super fast speeds, and a spectacular highside for Lorenzo. Go to
http://www.crash.net/picture~cid~0~id~162775~f~~pid~1.htm
and have a look at the pics posted. Ouch! Broken ankle--no news on whether or not he'll be able to race.
Stoner and Vale fastest in practice

That highside was huge! I hope he can get bandaged up well enough to race.

Wow. Talk about serious air. Thanks for the post and I hope he heals soon.

Just the fact that we could say such a thing and have it make sense makes me shake my head in amazement at what these guys do. If I broke my ankle, I wouldn't ride to the mailbox.

Countdown to launch...10...9...8...7...
The good news is that Lorenzo is not as badly injured as first thought and may be able to ride this weekend. Heal up quick, Jorge.

Absolutely. The video is even more mind boggling.
Of course, it wouldn't have happened if he had louder pipes.

I've never seen anyone land that hard. How does he not have two blown knees and a fractured neck?
(Thank goodness he doesn't.)
I'd love to know exactly what happened.

Exceptionally good gear and youth are on his side. Out of shape 45 year olds don't bounce, supremely fit 21 year olds do.

I remember mountain biking with an 18 year old when he biffed it hard into a boulder strewn river bed.
The guy pops up onto his feet laughing...more embarrassed than hurt.
I just shook my head in disgust. If it had been me, I'd have lay prone saying something about a medivac.

Amazing as it seems Lorenzo qualified 4th and will race! Can you say drugs?! BTW Edwards on pole, Vale, Stoner.

Hopefully Edwards can do well in the race, seems to qualify so well, then in the race the qualifying position doesn't equal the podium postion. I'd like to see Colin win his first race.

Me too. Was just watching the battle in Imola '02 with Bayliss. Watta race that was!
Hopefully he'll have an epic battle with Vale' and pass him in a braking duel coming into turn 1 on the last lap and lead it to the checkers!

Forecasts are calling for (acid) rain tomorrow. Hopefully, Colin can utilize his pole and do well, but the rain might put a damper on things.
I'm happy for Colin though. Seems he's enjoying racing again and according to Soup, he might stay in MotoGP a little longer.

I read on a German online news provider that Rossi wants to make some sort of "statement" or protest, if you will, regarding China's actions in Tibet. He's asked for a riders' meeting to address the matter. Rather curious as to what he's planning ...

I can't remember who said it in what thread, but they stated that it was choice of valve train that was separating GP machines, not piston arrangement. With Yamaha's newfound speed via pneumatic valves, it appears that person was correct.
My question is, how long do we have to wait before they make their way into streetbikes?
