    I really hope Rossi makes a lot of people look stupid this year ,
    I would not be surprised one bit if he's 2013 champion .

    Although the competition is huge and although he is a rookie, I just feel Marquez could possibly do it this year. The Honda is a great bike and Marquez has that something special you do not see very often. Glad to see Rossi putting good times in, the tighter the championship the better, still personally think he is not as good as he was or maybe the competition just got better.

    Impressive early showing by Laverty, only 3.332 secs behind Rossi as 4th. CRT in front of a lot of more experienced riders.

    God it's so nice to see Vale attacking corners with gusto again.

    Some people just have no faith! There is no way unless someone losses their balks from a biggy or injury then there was no way Rossi was not going to be a front runner . I'm sure if there was any doubt then Yamaha wouldn't of had him back!

    Rossi is back. But if Lorenzo and Pedrosa stay fit. He has no chance of being champion.

    Rossi said they have been working for more corner exit, made me laugh a little later on when you look at the percentages..

    "Dennis calculates that Jorge did 91% of his 34 laps in the 2min 1 or 2 flat bracket. Dani 64%, Cal 47%, Vale 56%, Marquez 52%"

    Rossi answer to Jorge when he replied to this was "F#CK!"....lol
