What a great race, no crashes and some serious battling going on in the front pack. Vale [Rossi], Sete [Gibernau], Troy [Bayliss], Loris [Capirossi] and Max [Biaggi] were going at it for a while. Troy was leading in the beginning, but was overtaken by Rossi, I think. There was so much overtaking going on that I\'m a little confused. Max fell back about mid-race, but the first four were going at it. At one time, they were all trying for first before I think Sete got it. Vale was making some mistakes running wide a few corners, but was still on pace.
Troy was up there the whole time, and Loris was right behind him – and at one point was in front. They were all going at it when Loris\'s bike died. When it did, you could hear the whole front straight saying… \"AAAHHHHHH!\" He and Troy were neck and neck. On the second to last lap, Sete got into the lead. Then on the last lap, Vale pulled a rabbit out of the hat and got past Sete. You could see Sete sliding around a bit, probably pushing to beat Rossi. In the last corner, Sete and Rossi were tire to tire, but Vale gave an extra push and beat Sete by a wheel. I\'ve never seen him so ecstatic to win a race - his losing streak is over. He and Sete were trying so hard to beat each other. During the cool down lap, some of his fans got him off the bike, put a ball n\' chain on him and pretended that he was in prison chipping rocks. You have to have seen it - it was funny.
A few bikes retired, both Protons did and Chris Burns retired eventually, too. And the Suzukis? I\'m not going to say anything bad, but I\'m not going to say anything good either. LOL:) our intention is to always stay positive, but sometimes that just goes right out the window. How can you be completely positive when it\'s always a let down? At least the boys managed to finish the race, unfortunately in the back. I doubt if anyone can\'t guess the morale in the garage. C\'MON SUZUKI, PRODUCE A DECENT BIKE FOR THE RIDERS!!!!!! If the s&^t stinks, throw it out! It\'s Ducatis first year and they get podiums? HHHhhhmmmmmmmm..... sarcastic? Maybe.Truth, yes! Be positive, be positive, be positive!!!!!
Anyway, so there\'s a test scheduled for tomorrow and Tuesday. I don\'t know if that\'s a good thing - I don\'t think the riders think so, but whatever. Will e-mail later in the week. If you think Mugello and Spain have some stunning ladies, you need to see Czecho. Is it even possible they can be that gorgeous? Yes, it is. I\'m sure the boys love coming to Czech. WCM had five girls for their brolly babes, and all were amazing. Nice job WCM, well done!
Bye bye
