Looking good for Suzuki, really want them to be competitive this year just to throw something else into the mix and make it a bit more interesting.

Plenty of time for things to change but I hope Rossi continues like that.

I suspect Abraham was trying to get a tow and instead Cal gave him a finger.

Melandri doesn't want to be back in MotoGP so i think he's sand bagging so he gets moved back to WSBK or let out of his contract.
Abraham pays for the bike out of his own pocket, Also the Brno racetrack is owned by his family, so he's got a fair bit of leverage to make sure he stays in MotoGP

Don't forget to pronounce it 'Abrahams' like the spastic Huewen does.

Back on Abraham, I know he annoyed Scott Redding yesterday too with his towing antics.

Interesting weight saving idea from Lorenzo there.
