Round 6 - Silverstone

I missed the Round 5 Catalunya, and I'm quite glad I did. So I am back to say some funny things about The British MotoGp round. Well I'll admit I'm struggling to find anything funny about it. For starters our sole Brit at the top level added to the collarbone breaking trend sweeping the MotoGp paddock. And secondly VR46 struggled badly to make his Ducati work at Silverstone. I am a tad worried, but like all real Vale fans, we all know he and his team will make it work. On a lighter note, as much as I love him, get rid of that skunk on your head Vale!

Right I'll try and make you giggle now. The race itself had it fair share of spills. At the start I like everyone else thought this was going to be an expensive race for Pramac Ducati. I was utterly shocked that RDP didn't go tarmac surfing. Mind you, it would have been virtually impossible for him to crash at the speed he was circulating. He and Barbera were lapped on the biggest track the MotoGp calender visits. Not great.

It turned out to be an expensive day for the Factory Yamaha outfit. In one lap we lost both of them. We didn't see what happened to Ben but we certainly saw poor Jorge. A nasty highside catapulted him from his seat and we all had to revert to following him on Twitter.

Next down the road was the Super Sic at the mighty fast Abbey. Another possible podium washed away much like his front end.

Ride of the day for me goes to The Titanium Tornado (via @TwitGp)(I had thought of this nickname already but he beat me to it on Twitter, can't take credit for someone else's work, damn it!) I hope I haven't cursed him by saying earlier in the season that he never crashes.

And so finally the top two. Dull Dovi rode well, and as much as it pains me say Stacey is very special. Surely it was a perfect race for Moaner today. Well no, of course not, the poor thing got water inside his visor, bless him.

Question? Has someone abducted Dani? What has Alberto done with him?

I failed to make you giggle didn't I ?? All I can say is I'm truly sorry and promise to try harder next time. (and them lot give me more to work with)

Over and out.
