Have dumped the BBC coverage for this season. I am finding the Eurosport presentation much more informative and knowledgeable. The only down side is the adverts but so far it is still worth it.

The in-house battle between my choice Edwards and the Wifes favourite Rossi is not as clear cut as it looked before the season.

And miss Suzi Perry ?

I certainly think that Toseland can bag a few podiums this year.

He's outpacing what should be, on paper at least, quicker bikes and he is clearly a very good rider. Some of his overtaking moves in Jerez were excellent and it was just a shame that he got pipped by Capirossi at the end.

Hopefully the transition to the new engine goes smoothly. If it does, Estoril could be very interesting.

I agree with you. I think he will get podiums once he gets the new engine and other parts fitted. He might even win one.

JT is definatly good enough to win a gp and with parts arriving in time for plenty of practise for Estoril its looking good for him,The engine ,no illness and his mums cooking will all be in his favour.Hayden stayed behind last week for over 80 laps trying for more improvement so its hotting up already at the top,a certain Mr Schumacher was on a ducati at Mugello yesterday lapping at around 1'58 for 40 laps,lap record is about 1'50,i wonder if he could have made it on 2 wheels instead of 4.....

i can see casey snagging a few podiums

Lorenzo on pole yet again,Pedrosa and Rossi with him.JT,Hayden and Edwards on 2nd row but everyone will be looking up at the sky tommorow with a dodgy forecast.Toseland has impressed so much he's signed a new contract already.

Good news for Toseland in that he's made the second row.

He and Edwards had a terible time in Friday's free practice, finishing in the bottom two (JT was almost 7 seconds behind Stoner). Hopefully, Tech 3 can change over to the new engine smoothly and we can see an even bigger challenge from Toseland

Stoner will be an interesting one to watch tomorrow as well. Came out top on Friday, struggled in qualifying and if Jerez was a nasty track for Ducati, this one will be even worse.
