It really is too early to be drawing any conclusions. We don't know
what tyres are been used or what parameters each team is focusing on.
Same with Stones vs Lins, this is only one track and even if the Lins
come out on top it may well be a different story next venue.
Edwards often practiced and qualified well last season then they gave
him 5 forward and one reverse gear for the race, thats how it seemed
so I'm not geting too excited with him being fast.
Lorenzo seems to be adapting well, whether that will turn into race
pace remains to be seen.

Still it's great t have the season upon us again and give us all
something to speculate over.

While Toseland seems to be just quietly getting on with it.

This is of course true.  Plenty of teams through a qualifier on at

Do people in the US *really* refer to these tyre (heh - sorry - 'tire'
for you guys) company names like this?  Do you go to the bike shop and
say "I want a new 'Lin for the rear"?  Cos it seems a bizarre and
strangely annoying (to me) abbreviation.

Heh Heh, I'm a Kiwi living in Scotland and call them Stone's and Lin's
with toungue in cheek. There was a thread last year and someone
commented on on the Bridgestones been called "Stones" saying next
thing Michelins will be called "Lin's" so I decided to try it for a
laugh, it is naff though I admit.
