Catalunya, Caledonia, Cattle Crossing

[arkline]

Next round of the MotoGP thing. This weekend on SpeedTV for those who've got it. 12 noon Pacific and an hour later for each timezone going east. Come one, come all. Watch the greatest racing you could imagine. Watch the new guys. Watch the old guys. Pray for a dry track and not too much heat. To be followed by some AMA racing at Miller Motorsports, the new track on the block.
Huzzah!

Is Collin about to get the flick from Yamaha and Moto Gp?


Honda line up shock move for Colin Edwards to form WSB dream team with Alex Barros


and yet he is to team up with Haga on Yamaha's to ride the Suzuki 8 hr in Japan next month.

DJ - Where'd you read that?

That's huge if it's real.

I seriously doubt it, as Colin's put together a record nearing/breaking point scoring run as of late. "Yamaha been beddy, beddy good to me" says Colin.

Nope.

Maybe that Honda motor is firing on all 5 pots.

OK, you know the rules - tell us if it's worth watching (duh), but don't give away the punchline!!

I like seeing Kenny JR. doing well. Whats up with the Kentucky Kid? 7th?

Looking forward to the race.

Hot dayem and chicklets. There isn't a full second between first and tenth in qualifying. Gosharootie, boyz and girlz! Gonna be a great Father's Day here in the city of overcast skies where the lawn might or might not get mowed tomorrow. What's your guess...

With a good start, Hayden could have less work cut out for him. Let the games begin...
