Red streak. 9/9/2006
With a 2:01.711, Loris Capirossi takes provisional pole for this weekend’s MotoGP at Sepang. Was I there to see it? Unfortunately not. As Captain Carrot says, “personal is not the same as important.” But chances are good that Loris will give a good showing at Sepang.
I had to give this year’s rider’s dinner a miss as well, in spite of my position in the Ducati Club. So no nice freebies and autographs for me this year. But there’s always next year. I’m not too sure if I’ll be able to catch the MotoGP tomorrow. It’ll the the first one I’ve missed in a long time.
In a press release from Ducati Corse Press, Loris has said that the team are working well together, in spite of a problem halfway through the afternoon session. He also said that conditions at Sepang were cooler this year than last year, which enabled him to put more effort into making the Desmosedici go faster round the track.

Mmmm, 2:55 now and howling thunder. Who predicts rain for the race?
Got the weather report from Sepang. Overcast, with wind, but no rain…yet…
I’m thinking that tomorrow will be a dry race.
Fantastic race yesterday… the last 4 laps was an amazing display of good hard racing between 2 obviously superb riders. IMHO, the Ducks were the better bike, but the Doc pulled another one out of his helmet….
