Vallelunga - Free practice times (1).

Who reckons Xaus is down in 23rd because he's sulking about Biaggi getting the factory Aprilia ride next year?!

Is it a wet track at vallelunga?
If so did the yamaha boys get their electronic suspension set up that they are this fast or are they still using the normal suspension?

I don't - I hope Max has signed for Aprilia - I haven't heard about that yet, but I expect BMW have a much bigger budget - they've been able to afford a fleet of test riders whereas Aprilia have used Alex Hofman and Robby Rolfo.

Good effort from Matej Smrz - faster than several people already on his first superbike ride.

Dave why would Xaus sulk when he has his own factory BMW next year?

Niels - I don't think the electronic suspension will make any significant difference to the practice times. I've read that Yamaha are experimenting with it in an effort to reduce tyre wear which they have sufferrred from at roughly two thirds race distance. The system alters the high speed rebound damping setting.

Good stuff from Stalker, I reckon Greg has been very average this year.

What is going on with the Suzuki's, their performance seems to have dropped in the last couple of rounds.

Can anyone shed any light.

Can the people who said walker was past it now,please,get off their soap box !
