Blimey, that was a fantastic race, right thru the field! Obviously the audi influence at ducati is working well! Italian resurgence with them and Ferrari! Hopefully the rest of the season will be as good as today.

I really don't think its anything Audi have done other than give them the money to get the right people in like Dall'Igna and his team.
but its looking great for the rest of the season

lol I know, he must have a book full to use over the coming season lol.

sorry to hear about dani and please no stoner on the bike
no point giving it to Scott Redding as he isn't up to speed on the satellite bike yet which isn't much different to dani's at this point in the year

Dani Pedrosa underwent surgery on Friday morning in Madrid to solve his arm pump problem.

Repsol Honda’s Dani Pedrosa underwent surgery this morning in Madrid, performed by Dr. Angel Villamor – orthopaedic surgeon and Medical Director of iQtra Medicina Avanzada. The surgery, aimed to fix Dani’s problematic arm pump, took just over 2 hours with Dr. Villamor confident of its success.

The operation, aimed to fix Dani’s problematic arm pump, took just over 2 hours with Dr. Villamor confident of its success. During today’s surgery, Dr. Villamor completely removed the layer of fascia – the casing around the muscle that gives it form and shape – which is causing problems for Dani.

It is expected that Dani will be discharged from the hospital in a few hours, after confirming that his post-operative evolution is positive. He will visit Dr. Villamor regularly in the coming weeks for check ups and then begin a custom physiotherapy program. A recovery time of 4 to 6 weeks is expected, however his return to racing won’t be confirmed until Dr. Villamor can ascertain the success of the surgery.

Dr. Angel Villamor:
“The surgery was complicated and aggressive using a microsurgery technique and microscopic lens. It lasted two hours, and was done under a local anaesthetic. We examined the muscle fascia, which were hypertrophied and had to be opened up and released. The muscle fascia has been dissected and removed from the forearm. This increased volume engorged the muscle within the inelastic fascia resulting in increased pressure within the compartment, and causing a painful condition of oxygen deprivation – thus causing intense pain in the forearm which collapsed after exercising during riding. We will now monitor Dani over the next few weeks to measure the success of this surgery.”

From Casey Stoners twitter feed :

'Sorry to everyone but I am not racing @circuitamericas next weekend, it would have been an honour to ride for @26_DaniPedrosa #NotMeantToBe'

Doesn't sound like someone who isn't interested to me. He's already signed up to do the Suzuka 8 Hour for Honda as well !!

Scott Redding, even though he is a jumped up little tard. He could mix it Marquez like they did in MOTO 2
Click to expand...

he is already on a HRC backed Honda though
after just one race gone the differences between Scotts and dani's will be minimal at best and even then it will be only frame and software updates,
the engines will be the same as there frozen all year
 
Its looking like it could be wet weekend in Austin TX
Cals been given a new frame and seat from this weekend, its the one the HRC guys have been using from race 1.

Yanks are being a little amateurish by not having the marshals out on track at the start
hour late is a bad show.
maybe some were still at Mc D's

What a quali that was
MM's bike broke on his 2nd run and just got his second bike out before the end and got in a hell of a lap to smash everyone
4 riders broke the lap record in the last 4 mins
