Sure Is Quiet Out There ...

It's been awfully quiet on the WSB/MotoGP news front. MotoGP teams are now in Japan for the Motegi GP, while WSB crews congregate in the Netherlands for the fourth round at Assen. Stoner is confident that he'll take this second round of MotoGP and even Rossi is saying that Stoner will be faster and that "we just need to reduce the gap to him so that we can put up more of a fight". That's sad when someone like Rossi says he's not going to win but hopes to not be too far behind. Pedrosa should be a little fitter by now, so might see a better result from him. In WSB Shakey Byrne has also recovered from a hand injury that might see better racing from him as well. Another couple of days and there'll be practice and qualifying results to shed a little more light on relative rider performance in both series. Stay tooned.
