Jorge Lorenzo is going to try to be a factor.

excerpt: Spanish rookie sensation Jorge Lorenzo reckons he will be 70 per cent fit for this weekend’s Italian MotoGP in Mugello.

The Fiat Yamaha rider goes into round six of the series trailing championship leader Valentino Rossi by just three-points as he continues to recover from the leg injuries he suffered earlier this month in a spectacular crash in Shanghai.

I'm going to fill my role as official bubble burster and be the one to break the news to Lorenzo that your last name has to end in an "i" in order to win at Mugello:

Valentino Rossi, Mattia Pasini, Gabor Talmacsi, Roberto Locatelli, Manuel Poggiali, Marco Melandri, Loris Capirossi, Marcellino Lucchi, Max Biaggi, Haruchika Aoki, Pier Paolo Bianchi, Eugenio Lazzarini :lol:

Damn you Lucky! I can't get to anything 1st. I have dial-uphttp://www.twowheelfemales.com/forum/images/icons/Frown2.gif. Blah!

Rossi's helmet is outrageous! He's the only one I know that can pull that off.

Go Valentino!! Got my yellow shirt ready :yahoo:. Got my torch. VLF.

Argh! I want high-speed! I want to watch video (without having time to shower while it loads)!

[ridingAK]

Rossi's helmet cracks me up! Can you imagine having a helmet like that and pulling up behind someone at a stoplight? :rofl:

[Lucky_Devil]

It's a really odd crash... it almost looks like he hit an ice patch or something because the tires just slip out and he's barely got the thing leaned over.

[ridingAK]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who couldn't figure that one out. I was wondering if there was some sort of racing gremlin I hadn't heard about or something.

[MtnRider]

What the hell happened? He was moving out setting up the corner and didn't even get leaned over and backend just slides right out?
I believe because of how wet it was during Friday's practice he just got a bit heavy on the binders and washed the front out.

That helmet cracks me up, but for some reason I just don't want to look at it continuously as my wall paper... :confused2:

[Inky]

I was laughing the whole race with Vale's helmet! That guy has a great sense of humor. Good to see Stoner getting back into the action.

What the heck happened to Nicky? He was dropping like the Titanics' anchor.

[Luna Tique]

That helmet is too darn funny :rofl:
