    Today is bad news as Rossi (my snail) has had a huge crash in the morning warm up, he had made good progress in the last 4 days (climbing the wall) but today I found him somewhat dazed with massive damage to his shell.. :( Some hours later he came round to set off for the late morning re-race.. ;)

    Mate, I hope he recovers well and can 'crack on ' and get back to his old 'pace'. Ha ha, good one Arthur, also relieved that Vale is okay lol.

    That's the problem with the integrated airbox chassis sytem. Not only has it got a tendency to be over stiff, but any damage to it ruins the integrity of the entire package.

    He must be on the old shell there with the higher center of gravity and poor weight balance

    Well he's been in the workshop for most the morning (Entertaining my customer no end..lol) and all repairs have been done, new carbon shell ;) Now back on the grid (well hes been there for some time tbh!) and waiting for the lights to go out... Its a bit of a one horse race but lets face it, it was a one horse race last year too.. :D

    The lights went out and it seems Rossi has had problems with the massive power of the GP12 yet again, he's just holding onto another huge highside but seems to have it under control! Thank God!
