Hey everyone........yo! :)
Alright so it was a bit eventful today. Hold on let me get my notes...........(I actually wrote notes this time!) Ok, so it was a nice day today. The weather was great, just a few scattered clouds but it was warm, whoo-hoo!
In the first session, Kenny was on the gas cause\' he was the fastest of the session. Where in the hell did the Nitrus Oxide come from? John was doing good too, although he says he was riding over his head. I thought he did swell, 6th isn\'t bad at all. The first few minutes of the practice session Bayliss and Biaggi crashed. They both came running into pit lane, looked almost like they were racing. Hold on boys, you got to get on the bike to race! Mid session, Alex crashed but he was ok. I think he still has some legiments torn from Suzuka, which I think takes longer to heal rather then breaking a bone. He\'s doing fine considering his injury. Marco made his comeback, I don\'t know how he\'s doing to be honest, I\'m sure he\'s not healed 100% but I think he\'s coming along.
Second session was good. Oh by the way...............Dorna or somebody had this brilliant idea to put a camera behind Valentino\'s seat. Well, I think Valentino\'s a great guy and for sure all the girls love him, but personally I\'d rather not watch his ass the whole time and I really don\'t want to watch him picking his ass. Yeah, that\'s not my gig. I don\'t even like John picking his ass let alone Vale. Well girls, I\'m sure you\'ll love it, but I just don\'t get it. I can\'t get into trouble for saying this, cause\' I\'m just voicing my opinion.
Anyway, sorry about that. Back to the second session. Sete was going good around here, he ran off the track a few times, seems to like the gravel. But he\'s doing good, so maybe that\'s just the way he rides, as soon as he pulls a good time, there he goes. Go Sete............on the tarmac! Well that\'s alright cause\' he got pole, then Ukawa, Capirossi, and Valentino. Troy is fifth, Kenny is 6th, Senor Checa is 7th and John is 8th. HopHops!!!! Our boys are in the top, we shall see for tommorrow. Shinya crashed but it wasn\'t a hard one, he ended up doing alright too. Pitt crashed too, that\'s a pitty!! Haha, I crack myself up. He wasn\'t hurt though. I think it was a little digger that\'s all. Hey Jeremy McWilliams and Nobu Aoki are still on the 2 strokes and they\'re staying with the big boys. They can ride the &%$* out of those bikes.
I\'ve been walking around taking pictures today, I\'ll try to get them up as soon as possible. It\'s a bit difficult here cause\' my connection is slow and it takes forever to download them. I\'ll catch up tommorrow, John\'s mom is here with a California flag, and next thing you know we\'ll probably see a Texas flag and Kentucky flag. To be honest, I have no idea what the Kentucky flag looks like. Personally, I think the Cali flag is th best, not to be modest or anything. :)
Speak Later,
Desiree
