:01:29. > :01:36.Good evening. The long pre-season is over. The moment of truth is
:01:36. > :01:40.here as MotoGP enters 1 now cc era in Qatar under the lights. They
:01:40. > :01:47.will hit your screens in HD on the BBC this season. There are plenty
:01:47. > :01:51.of new things to look out for. will be a momentous year for MotoGP.
:01:51. > :01:56.The biggest changes since the four stroke category was invented. We
:01:56. > :02:00.will go back from the 800 cc machines up to 1,000 cc. On top of
:02:00. > :02:10.that, we have a whole new class for non-factory machines. That will
:02:10. > :02:11.
:02:11. > :02:16.boost the grid to more than 20 bikes. Some things don't change
:02:16. > :02:20.though. Casey Stoner has been topping the time sheets in pre-
:02:20. > :02:24.season testing. Back on 1,000s, it's fun. Just the fact they have
:02:24. > :02:30.that much talk and traction. They want to rip you off the back a
:02:30. > :02:38.little bit. Your arms take more of a beating than normal. The rest of
:02:38. > :02:42.me feels comfortable. Here's Honda team-mate Dani Pedrosa hasn't been
:02:42. > :02:47.har behind. His title challenges over the last few years have been
:02:47. > :02:52.hampered by injury. Stoner's other rival will be Jorge Lorenzo. He
:02:52. > :02:58.feels his Yamaha team have got close to the gap with the Honda.
:02:59. > :03:05.would like to be more competitive this year. Compared to last year, I
:03:05. > :03:13.think we have good acceleration and power. Ben Spies lines up against
:03:13. > :03:17.Lorenzo on the factory Yamaha. His experience riding the 1,000s in
:03:17. > :03:22.World Superbikes has helped him adapt. He could be a contender.
:03:22. > :03:26.Having the power will allow me to ride more of my old-style. We are
:03:26. > :03:29.here to win the Championship, whether we are favourite or not, it
:03:29. > :03:35.doesn't matter. We come to race. That is why I ride forum yam. That
:03:35. > :03:39.is the goal. Will Rossi and the Ducati be competitive this year?
:03:39. > :03:46.Pre-season testing say, well, not yet. We are in sixth position. I
:03:46. > :03:50.think this is our potential now. I think we can improve the Ducati
:03:50. > :03:58.during the season. For Qatar, I think for the first three races
:03:58. > :04:05.it's like this. At Tech 3 it will be interesting to see how Dani
:04:05. > :04:13.Pedrosa gets off. We know that British Moto2 star
:04:13. > :04:16.Bradley Smith has been promised one of these rides leaving one Tech 3
:04:16. > :04:21.seats left. Crutchlow had an up- and-down season last year. The
:04:22. > :04:27.biggest down came at his home Grand Prix. I can't wait to get back to
:04:27. > :04:32.my home crowd, Silverstone. It's a great place. The new wing, I never
:04:32. > :04:38.got to ride out of the garage last year. I plan on doing that and
:04:38. > :04:45.making the fans proud hopefully and see what we can do. Other riders
:04:45. > :04:55.settling in new Alvaro Bautista and Hector Barbera and Stefan Bradl
:04:55. > :04:58.
:04:58. > :05:03.riding the LCR Honda. Karel Abraham is on the Ducati. Then the new
:05:03. > :05:09.teams. In Colin Edwards they have one of the most experienced guys in
:05:09. > :05:13.the paddock embracing their cause. Look at Moto2 and how good it has
:05:13. > :05:17.become. We are moulding the big boy class around that. Don't expect to
:05:17. > :05:22.see them on the podium any time soon. It's very much work in
:05:22. > :05:29.progress. 2011 will always be remembered for the tragic loss of
:05:29. > :05:35.rising star Marco sim on celly. His team blacks are running in black as
:05:35. > :05:41.a lack of respect. His big smile and even bigger hair are going to
:05:41. > :05:46.be missed in this paddock. No doubt the biggest change for 2012 is one
:05:46. > :05:49.that nobody wanted. His absence is being fement in weekend. This
:05:49. > :05:54.season is the six nth a row to get started here in Qatar. The fifth
:05:54. > :06:04.under the lights. It's an 18 round Championship. We have got a couple
:06:04. > :06:08.
:06:08. > :06:13.of weeks off now until the next one It's rerentless until November. The
:06:14. > :06:18.British Grand Prix is Round 6, it's a couple of months' away. You might
:06:18. > :06:22.want to get your tickets, if you haven't done already. It looks like
:06:22. > :06:28.the winter has been kind to our commentary team of Steve Parrish
:06:28. > :06:32.and Charlie Cox. Plenty for you to get your teeth into this season?
:06:32. > :06:36.Two class of racing, that will be something to watch and pressure for
:06:36. > :06:42.Casey Stoner. We are liking that as well. I'm excited about the whole
:06:42. > :06:46.season. It's all happening here right at the front and with the CRT
:06:47. > :06:51.bikes. A fantastic start for British fans. Cal Crutchlow has
:06:51. > :06:58.qualified on the front row of the grid for tonight's race. First
:06:58. > :07:04.front row for any British rider since James Toseland. What a way to
:07:04. > :07:07.start the year? We were busting to talk about it. Fantastic. We know
:07:08. > :07:12.that he has been on the pace in the pre-season and all this weekend he
:07:12. > :07:18.has been on the pace as well, out near the front, second fastest in
:07:18. > :07:24.the practice. It isn't a fluke. He has a serious pace. He is like the
:07:24. > :07:30.real deal He is comfortable in the paddock. Last year he got sorted
:07:30. > :07:37.out. You know where everything. Is he seems comfortable. You know all
:07:38. > :07:41.about that? I have a lot of holidays, don't I? He was chuffed
:07:41. > :07:45.with that performance last night. He spoke to us after qualifying he
:07:45. > :07:49.was keeping his feet very much on the ground. I'm happy. What can I
:07:49. > :07:54.say? We came to the first race, a lot of people wrote me off. I
:07:54. > :07:58.proved people wrong. We are at the first Round. It's qualifying races
:07:58. > :08:02.tomorrow. If I can get out of here with a half decent result I will be
:08:02. > :08:08.happy. Just because we are on the front row it doesn't mean we will
:08:08. > :08:13.be on the podium. I will be trying. An outside chance of a podium, but
:08:13. > :08:16.a chance never the less? He is third quickest now, second quickest.
:08:16. > :08:21.He has to keep it neat. There is extra pressure, isn't there, when
:08:21. > :08:27.had you a belting qualifier. It's easier to make a mistake. He has to
:08:27. > :08:32.be cool and play his game. Nobody knows how to manage the tyres with
:08:32. > :08:39.the 1,000s. It's an awkward circuit. It's on outside possibility. If he
:08:39. > :08:45.is not listening I hope he does. Let's wish him the best. It was
:08:45. > :08:51.2000 when Jeremy McWilliams was on the grid. Far too longer. Longer
:08:51. > :08:54.since the British winner in the '70s, Barry Sheen. The two boys at
:08:54. > :08:58.the front it seems in a class of their own at the moment? They do.
:08:58. > :09:03.Casey Stoner has been the talk of the offseason. He was talk of the
:09:03. > :09:09.first half of this weekend as well. Jorge Lorenzo started to put
:09:09. > :09:14.pressure on him. Stoner started to find problems. The bike started
:09:14. > :09:18.great, it is now rubbish. He looked all right in the warmup, but we
:09:18. > :09:23.don't know. Jorge Lorenzo looking slick? He looked comfortable
:09:24. > :09:30.throughout the testing. He looks within himself. It's 22 laps.
:09:30. > :09:35.Around Lap 15 we will find out who wins the race. Who has the tyre.
:09:35. > :09:39.Dani Pedrosa is always in the hunt? He was second fastest in warmup.
:09:39. > :09:46.Seventh on the grid. When we look Seventh on the grid. When we look
:09:46. > :09:51.at the grid Dani in seventh and Valentino Rossi in 12th? I want him
:09:51. > :09:55.to be up there, he was so good for our sport. They can't sort the bike
:09:55. > :10:00.out. I have never seen him look so out. I have never seen him look so
:10:00. > :10:10.off of it. The boss said, we are going three different ways, Nicky
:10:10. > :10:10.
:10:10. > :10:17.is going one, and volume teen owe is going another way. Colin, the
:10:17. > :10:23.fastest of them, 8th tenths of a second behind Valentino Rossi?
:10:23. > :10:32.pleased about that. I'm pleased for Colin. That BMW engine and chassi
:10:32. > :10:37.seems to be working. Cheaper to buy and cheaper to fix. There were a
:10:37. > :10:45.few crashs in qualifying when the guys were pushing for times? Eem'
:10:45. > :10:54.too old. He will have to answer for me. He can't hear a thing. Big
:10:54. > :11:00.crashes, turn 13 they seemed to be turning off. Those teams can well
:11:00. > :11:05.afford not doing that. Jorge Lorenzo getting ready to go out. He
:11:05. > :11:14.lines up ahead of Casey Stoner. Casey on the front row as well, not
:11:14. > :11:19.happy with the performance of his Honda after qualifying. Fair race
:11:19. > :11:25.pace for tomorrow, it's difficult because the huge issues we had on
:11:25. > :11:29.Thursday have now come full circle and come back to us now. My team
:11:29. > :11:38.aren't taking enough importance on how big the situation is. They are
:11:38. > :11:41.like, "you are fast, you can to it anyway". I can't. It's not feels --
:11:42. > :11:47.feeling nice. If we can't fix it before tomorrow it will be very
:11:47. > :11:57.tough. It will be a lot of hard work. Life is not all bad when you
:11:57. > :12:05.
:12:05. > :12:10.COMMENTATOR: Casey Stoner is the world champion. A fifth straight
:12:10. > :12:14.home Grand Prix win clinched a second title on his 26th birthday.
:12:14. > :12:17.I don't think too many people can win a World Championship on their
:12:18. > :12:23.birthday. I wasn't happy about my birthday being on that day.
:12:23. > :12:27.Everyone is screaming out, "happy birthday" I don't like birthdays at
:12:27. > :12:32.the best of times, it's more attention. I don't want. It Philip
:12:32. > :12:38.Island was an amazing day. We won the world Championship on my
:12:38. > :12:44.birthday with five wins in a row and a home Grand Prix was special.
:12:44. > :12:50.This was the culmination of years of sacrifice for the Stoner family.
:12:50. > :12:55.He was put on a motorcycle at the age of three.Ual I wanted to do was
:12:55. > :12:59.ride, ride, ride. I didn't even know what racing was when dad went
:12:59. > :13:06.and put me in on it. I'm also pretty competitive, I think, from
:13:06. > :13:10.when I was very young. It was the perfect thing. I love riding bikes,
:13:10. > :13:16.I'm competitive. Why not go race. The family sold up and nofd Europe
:13:16. > :13:21.with nothing between them but a British passport and a plane. His
:13:21. > :13:26.raw talent propelled him through the British, Spanish and World
:13:26. > :13:33.Championship classes saeling a ride with Honda in 2006 and scoring
:13:33. > :13:37.podiums in his first season. That didn't persuade them to give him a
:13:37. > :13:40.factory bike. Ducati gave them the plunge. I wanted to get on the
:13:40. > :13:50.podiums but get in front of the manufacturerers who kicked me out,
:13:50. > :14:01.
:14:01. > :14:06.turned me down and show them what I Let's not get too happy with where
:14:06. > :14:12.we are now. Let's be realistic. The competition levels that we are
:14:12. > :14:15.racing against, I am pretty sure they will chase down and
:14:15. > :14:19.steamroller us basically, but we thought we would take it race by
:14:19. > :14:24.race, and that is the way I like to race. We just enjoy each moment,
:14:24. > :14:27.and then the race wins kept coming and so did the championship points
:14:27. > :14:34.and we racked up the championship comfortably. It was a fantastic
:14:34. > :14:40.season for us. Still the doubters were not convinced, crating his
:14:40. > :14:45.success to that supposedly straight like Speen of the Ducati. His ill-
:14:45. > :14:51.health held the rumour-mongers further, and he managed to be cut
:14:51. > :14:55.those wins, a feat still not managed even by Valentino Rossi. He
:14:55. > :15:00.managed the Dream Factory ride with Honda in 2011, 12 holes, 10
:15:00. > :15:06.victories and a second title. 2012 has already been a year to remember.
:15:06. > :15:12.In February, his wife gave birth to a baby girl. It was fantastic. The
:15:12. > :15:16.last two or three weeks has been a really nice ride to watch her
:15:16. > :15:22.growing up, and it is her eyesight coming a bit further so she notices
:15:22. > :15:26.you a bit further away and she was smiling at four weeks old. You do
:15:26. > :15:30.not realise the feeling it gives you until I am watching the videos
:15:30. > :15:35.on my five of her smiling and the sensation it gives you is something
:15:35. > :15:43.really special. -- videos on my phone. I am lucky to be a father to
:15:43. > :15:46.Nice to see Casey Stoner enjoying fatherhood, but Jorge Lorenzo has
:15:46. > :15:52.no time for that kind of thing. He is desperate to win back the title
:15:52. > :15:58.he worked so hard to win in 2010. I have his team manager here. How we
:15:58. > :16:04.see adapting to Losail, of Bisley quite well because he is on pole,
:16:04. > :16:09.but how does he feel? He is always red-headed, but after his 20 10th
:16:09. > :16:18.championship, he knows he can do it. Last year we struggled quite a bit
:16:18. > :16:22.but the winter tests went really good and qualifying went good.
:16:22. > :16:27.Circumstances changing every day. Less grip, so completely changing.
:16:27. > :16:30.Let's see after 22 laps how the situation will be. It will be an
:16:30. > :16:36.interesting race tonight, but I want to get your perspective from
:16:36. > :16:41.the Yamaha factory pointed the with the new regulations coming in? The
:16:41. > :16:44.was very important to have more riders on the grid. So the
:16:44. > :16:51.manufacturers could not supply them because it is a lot of money
:16:51. > :16:59.involved. I think it is not ideal, but it is a way to start and let's
:16:59. > :17:02.say after this year how it will continue. Good luck tonight. That
:17:02. > :17:09.is the factory point of view, but let's have a look at the proper
:17:09. > :17:14.grip walk. Unfortunately they are all at the back. We do have 21
:17:14. > :17:21.riders on the grid, a B-grade and that sold some of the problems we
:17:22. > :17:26.had last year. Here he has, making his debut tonight. A chap you might
:17:26. > :17:33.remember from the British Superbike Championship. He won it in 2005. We
:17:33. > :17:38.will grab a quick word with him. Gregorian -- Gregorian oh, you are
:17:38. > :17:44.probably the best qualified man to talk about CTR racing and you were
:17:44. > :17:52.heavily involved in the Avintia Blusens project. How is it going?
:17:52. > :17:57.It is a lot of work but we are getting better and better. The CRT
:17:57. > :18:01.project, we made the engines at home and we just brought in the
:18:01. > :18:05.chassis, and to build everything and be competitive is not easy but
:18:05. > :18:08.we are making progress every time, so we are quite happy. What do you
:18:08. > :18:16.think about the concept in general? Is this the future of grand prix
:18:16. > :18:22.racing? First of all it is not easy to do it CTR bike, but it is much
:18:22. > :18:26.more affordable than a proper MotoGP bike. Said a Downing on the
:18:26. > :18:32.rules and the direction they take to save this will be the future, I
:18:32. > :18:38.don't know, but the gap to the top bikes is not so big and I can tell
:18:38. > :18:43.you that the Budget is a big difference on that. Good luck with
:18:43. > :18:46.the project and good luck tonight. A mixture of bikes and budgets on
:18:46. > :18:53.the grid for the foreseeable future. And probably for next season as
:18:53. > :18:56.well. But what is the long term future? And the factories are in
:18:56. > :19:01.agreement that CRT is something that needed to happen. The worries
:19:01. > :19:07.about the future regulations coming in are strong. It has been proposed
:19:07. > :19:12.that single speck electronics, lower rev limits or one million
:19:12. > :19:16.euros price cap on least bikes. What we likely to see for the Euro
:19:16. > :19:26.-- new rules coming in? It has been an important step for the future of
:19:26. > :19:30.the championship. It has been working well since now in racing,
:19:30. > :19:37.and it almost started three months ago, and the result has been better
:19:37. > :19:40.and better. It is a demonstration with this kind of bike that those
:19:40. > :19:45.are less expensive than the others but you can have a fantastic
:19:45. > :19:50.machine. This is the idea and we will try to continue in this way.
:19:50. > :19:56.With 21 bikes and new manufacturers on the grid to do you feel that the
:19:56. > :20:01.CRT decision has been vindicated? Yes, and with the cost of the CRT,
:20:01. > :20:05.you can have two bikes instead of one and this has opened up
:20:05. > :20:13.possibilities in any case. But we are thinking we can try to
:20:13. > :20:16.accommodate more and reduce the gap, because that will reduce the gap
:20:16. > :20:26.between them and the factory bikes. But in any case if we are helping
:20:26. > :20:29.in that way it will be very good Lots of work to be done, and it
:20:29. > :20:33.seems as though the story will be evolving over the course of the
:20:33. > :20:39.season and the next and will keep you up-to-date -- up to date. What
:20:39. > :20:45.a pleasure to be alongside Jorge Lorenzo and Casey Stoner to speak
:20:45. > :20:51.to Cal Crutchlow for the first time. Get out of the way, you! Just
:20:51. > :20:56.chatting to his team manager. Sorry to interrupt you, chaps. Cal
:20:56. > :21:02.Crutchlow, had you feel? Front-row starter the first time and 22 1/2
:21:02. > :21:05.laps or her head. I was feeling great until the crushed my earplug.
:21:05. > :21:10.If we can get a good starting get away, we can see what we will do.
:21:10. > :21:15.It will be a tough battle from third up to 7th. I will just try my
:21:15. > :21:22.best, it's all I can do. But no, nice to be a peer. We have done a
:21:22. > :21:27.good enough job and I will see what I can do. Am I allowed to swear?
:21:27. > :21:33.Better not. Maybe if you win. just wanted to point out about your
:21:33. > :21:38.green trousers. Yes, definitely not then. You had a warm-up earlier
:21:38. > :21:43.deceiving. Any last minute changes? We had a problem with the bike in
:21:43. > :21:49.the warm-up. The chain was jumping the sprocket, but we will see.
:21:49. > :21:53.Hopefully it didn't happen in the race. It happened to Andrea
:21:53. > :22:01.yesterday, but hopefully not for me. A everybody behind your back home.
:22:01. > :22:06.All the best. Let's go down to the second row. Just behind him and
:22:06. > :22:13.shelling out -- checking out my trousers with a jealous look, heres
:22:13. > :22:20.Nicky. I can see you checking out my trousers, you are jealous.
:22:20. > :22:23.get them for one night? We will see how the race goes. You're obviously
:22:23. > :22:29.easily the fastest Ducati any seem to be going in the right direction
:22:29. > :22:34.with the new bike. It has not been spectacular, but we are getting
:22:34. > :22:40.closer every session and the team has worked so hard. These guys
:22:40. > :22:45.deserve a result tonight. I think we can do a good race and when the
:22:45. > :22:49.lights go out, if it is just talk or write and make it happen. I know
:22:49. > :22:52.it is difficult to describe the differences but your team mates are
:22:52. > :23:00.struggling on what is essentially the same bike. But you're going in
:23:00. > :23:03.different ways of with the set-up. He tried my set up this morning and
:23:03. > :23:07.liked it, so that is positive for me and the team. It shows that
:23:07. > :23:11.those guys are listening to the information I give and going in a
:23:11. > :23:16.good way. We missed a lot of testing with all my injuries and
:23:16. > :23:21.got a bit behind, but we have now made some progress and tonight is
:23:21. > :23:26.my 10th year in MotoGP and I love it, man. I am more excited than
:23:26. > :23:30.ever. I am just ready to see the light go out and see what we've got.
:23:30. > :23:34.Here is to the next 10 years. Thanks, Nicky. All the best. We
:23:34. > :23:39.will see about the trousers afterwards. They are in demand,
:23:39. > :23:46.what can I say? Who else can we chat to? Let's see if we can have a
:23:46. > :23:51.quick word with Stefan Bradl. No, it is his rocky performance, but
:23:51. > :23:56.let's have a look. Great to have a German back on the grid. The first
:23:56. > :24:03.German since 2007, which was Alex Hoffman, who is somewhere working
:24:03. > :24:10.for German television. The motor to world champion making his debut. A
:24:10. > :24:15.third row start, in 9th place, and the third highest Honda so he is
:24:15. > :24:20.ahead of Alvaro Bautista. Let's see who we can find. Quite busy.
:24:20. > :24:27.Probably more people on the grid than the grandstand. There is Karel
:24:27. > :24:32.Abraham. Second season of MotoGP for him and enjoying life on the
:24:32. > :24:38.Ducati. One guy not enjoying life on the 1,000 cc Ducati is Valentino
:24:38. > :24:41.Rossi. Let's see if we can gravel work with someone from Ducati. I
:24:41. > :24:45.think he is crouching on the other side of the bike. We can grab a
:24:45. > :24:48.word with Jerry. I have not seen you this week yet, Jerry. I guess
:24:49. > :24:52.you have been locked up in the garage will be ours. We have been
:24:52. > :24:57.doing a bit because it didn't go well for us. We have to make the
:24:57. > :25:01.most bitter and move forward. had a quick chat with Nicky Hayden
:25:01. > :25:04.and he has had more success with the bike this weekend. By you going
:25:04. > :25:09.that way with the set-up for Valentino? You s, very similar and
:25:09. > :25:13.they have been similar all weekend but just different in the height --
:25:13. > :25:17.yes. We are just going to make a better job of this hopefully than
:25:17. > :25:25.the qualification. Not for me to say, but you can do much worse.
:25:25. > :25:29.Good on you! -- you could not do much worse. Valentino last year
:25:29. > :25:33.almost at the lap race into the first corner. -- almost took the
:25:33. > :25:37.lead in the race at the first corner. Let's have a chat with
:25:37. > :25:43.James Allison before we have to run away from the grid. -- James
:25:44. > :25:52.Ellison. James, how are you feeling? Back of the grid, a big
:25:52. > :25:55.project ahead. We are at the back? I thought it was the front! Oh well.
:25:55. > :25:59.We have had a fair share of hard work and all the boys have been
:25:59. > :26:03.pushing hard behind me. We just have not shown our true potential
:26:03. > :26:07.and hopefully in the race we can do it justice and show what we can do.
:26:07. > :26:11.I will be trying hard anyway. miles to show your potential
:26:11. > :26:17.afterwards. Testing at the minute, so we will see. We really are
:26:17. > :26:22.getting thrown off now. Let's talk to this man on that way back. Randy,
:26:22. > :26:26.you can keep me company. A really exciting night for MotoGP. We used
:26:26. > :26:30.to be neighbours back in Spain, myself and randy, and he used to
:26:30. > :26:35.bang on about how MotoGP needed to change because outcome of a clear
:26:35. > :26:39.was not a viable sport. Is this the way you wanted it to go? --
:26:39. > :26:44.economically it was not a viable sport. I have been here for 35
:26:44. > :26:50.years, believe it or not. I saw the side cars disappearing, but what
:26:51. > :26:56.needed to change was something and I think they came up with the other
:26:56. > :27:00.organisations, but CRT is a new park. I think we have to be patient.
:27:00. > :27:04.If you look at the teams we have to be interviewing, they are great-
:27:04. > :27:09.looking teams. There is a lot at stake out there. Don't forget the
:27:09. > :27:15.prototype bikes are producing 250 horsepower. Speeds of 340
:27:15. > :27:19.kilometres per hour. If you ask anyone at the back do they want to
:27:19. > :27:25.be here, they would will say yes. They would rather be at the front
:27:25. > :27:28.though. A big gap, six seconds from James Ellison took the pole and
:27:28. > :27:32.they may get lapped, but what about the battle at the front with the
:27:32. > :27:36.factory bikes? It is good to see that there is a great life
:27:36. > :27:38.competition happening again, especially between Yamaha and Honda.
:27:38. > :27:45.especially between Yamaha and Honda. Casey Stoner was so dominant
:27:45. > :27:51.winning 10 grant freeze. For then of course you have Ben Spies. And
:27:51. > :27:55.then Nicky Hayden, you cannot count him out. He looks good on the bike.
:27:55. > :28:05.And he is out shadowing Valentino Rossi. The facts for talking to us,
:28:05. > :28:33.
:28:34. > :28:39.Randy. -- thanks for talking to us. seemed to affect his qualifying, so
:28:39. > :28:45.he might get there or there abouts. Yes, warm up this morning, second
:28:45. > :28:49.fastest. A little bit behind. Warmup is what we will see than the
:28:49. > :28:55.qualifying was. We are in for a cracker. As we keep talking we have
:28:56. > :29:04.the factory bikes out there. 12 of those out there. Then the CRT bikes.
:29:04. > :29:09.It will be a great race between, Randy De Puniet Colin Edwards and
:29:09. > :29:13.the CETs. Will Cal Crutchlow go, stay in touch, even if he is
:29:13. > :29:19.knocked off. If anything we are optimistic about that. You can't
:29:19. > :29:24.say too much about him. Absolutely. Turn 4, 5. Down to the tightest
:29:24. > :29:29.corner on the circuit Turn 6. Some of the guys using first gear. The
:29:30. > :29:33.only corner you would use first gear around this track it's a
:29:33. > :29:38.different track. Technical aspects about it. We come up to the section
:29:38. > :29:41.where we saw a few crashes. That is where Dani Pedrosa crashed.
:29:41. > :29:49.Incredible number of crashes. One of the issues is you get a
:29:49. > :29:56.different circuit every time you go out of here. Can you answer the
:29:56. > :30:01.question? The sand on the track and everything else. Turn 13, further
:30:01. > :30:08.round, you have 12, 13 and 14. Hopefully you will get around there.
:30:08. > :30:15.We saw 120mph, third gear corner, we saw a number of bikes going down.
:30:15. > :30:24.Ben Spies being one of them. have them there now. 12, 13, 14,
:30:24. > :30:31.right hand side of your picture. 15 coming up, 16 the final corner. 1:
:30:31. > :30:36.55.1.5 is the lap record. 3.3 miles round. The straight is one
:30:36. > :30:45.kilometre long. 210mph these guys are doing down there. Welcome back
:30:45. > :30:49.1000, that is all I can say? agree. They have a lot out there.
:30:49. > :30:58.They won't have more horsepower in third, second or fourth gear, the
:30:58. > :31:03.two top gears they keep pulling. They do keep going. So does this
:31:03. > :31:13.guy, Lorenzo, pole position, next to him Stoner, next to him Cal
:31:13. > :31:13.
:31:13. > :31:18.Crutchlow. Toselan d was on the front row in 20008. Cal Crutchlow
:31:18. > :31:22.is on the inside for Turn 16789 he will want to get away with the
:31:22. > :31:25.front two. This is the first time he ever started from the front much
:31:25. > :31:29.he has to look at those lights, there is no-one else to look at.
:31:29. > :31:36.Lorenzo, Stoner in the middle, Crutchlow on the left. Hayden in
:31:36. > :31:40.the middle behind them. We are ready for a start. They are away.
:31:40. > :31:45.Good-looking jump there from Lorenzo on the right hand side.
:31:45. > :31:51.Look, No 28, Dani Pedrosa coming through. He smoked them. Lorenzo
:31:51. > :31:56.will carry the speed around the outside. Yes, yes he does. That's
:31:56. > :32:00.going to give Ben Spies the squeeze. Lorenzo is through. Pedrosa mugs
:32:00. > :32:07.his team-mate. Dani Pedrosa into second place. There he was on the
:32:07. > :32:11.grid in... Way back down. Third row. Outstanding. We waited for a while
:32:11. > :32:18.to see a field that big. They are absolutely on. It ducking and
:32:18. > :32:23.weaving all over the shop. A little bit of a shuffle, not too critical.
:32:23. > :32:27.Not a disaster. Dovizioso is in front of him. He will have to get
:32:27. > :32:33.his head down and sort it out in the first few corners if he can.
:32:33. > :32:38.Spies in front of him. Hayden made not a bad start. That is good.
:32:38. > :32:44.Crutchlow didn't get off. I don't know what happened to him into 7
:32:44. > :32:50.turn 1. No 26, Dani Pedrosa, third row of the grid. Fast in the warmup,
:32:50. > :32:56.he has the pace. Lorenzo is away. That is pleasing for him that Dani
:32:56. > :33:01.Pedrosa, Casey Stoner is his biggest threat. It's great for
:33:01. > :33:11.Stoner. While his team-mate is in front the guy who can get nearest
:33:11. > :33:13.
:33:13. > :33:18.to him, Lorenzo, is clearing off in the distance. Spies in fourth place,
:33:18. > :33:24.then Crutchlow. Nicky Hayden, that is moment there as through he goes.
:33:24. > :33:29.Nice work there from Dovizioso. He run wide. That is good from
:33:29. > :33:39.Dovizioso. He was on sixth position, second row of the grid. Look at
:33:39. > :33:47.
:33:47. > :33:52.that lead he has, as they go over there by Stefan Bradl. We haven't
:33:52. > :33:59.talked much about him. Look at Valentino Rossi. He took out two
:33:59. > :34:05.scalps in one right hander. He is right behind Bautista and one spot
:34:05. > :34:10.behind his team-mate, Nicky Hayden. Jorge Lorenzo, Casey Stoner
:34:10. > :34:15.champing at the bit, but his buddy in the way. I can't believe that
:34:15. > :34:20.start from Pedrosa. How does he do it? We know he is light. You have
:34:21. > :34:27.to nail it right. He is able to do that. He has a launch chip. Someone
:34:27. > :34:31.put one. In you are riding with him now. Stoner. Yeah, but you are
:34:31. > :34:37.chasing. No 1, Casey Stoner is there. Ten race wins. He nailed
:34:37. > :34:43.last year, the best of the rest was three from Jorge Lorenzo and three
:34:43. > :34:47.for Dani Pedrosa. Not easy to pass around this track. Turn 1 is the
:34:47. > :34:55.favourite. 22 laps. We have got a long way to go here. What a sweet
:34:55. > :34:59.sound, listen to that. Oh!, are we through? Not quite. Close enough,
:34:59. > :35:07.Cal Crutchlow having his own battle with his team-mate, Andrea
:35:07. > :35:13.Dovizioso. This will be getting frustrating for Casey Stoner
:35:13. > :35:16.because he wants to get through. The trouble with Turn 1 you have a
:35:16. > :35:21.kilometer straight where Dani Pedrosa is on the fastest bike. We
:35:21. > :35:25.will find out about the speed. Here we come shorltly on to that long
:35:25. > :35:28.straight. -- shortly on to that long straight. One of the things
:35:29. > :35:34.that Pedrosa has been working so hard on, as he moves to the inside,
:35:34. > :35:40.making it as hard as he can for the Australian, now Stoner is trying to
:35:40. > :35:43.punch a hole through. Can he take two in one? No, he doesn't. He
:35:43. > :35:49.passed Pedrosa. Pedrosa worked hard on braking, it wasn't enough.
:35:49. > :35:54.Stoner up into second place. There is the man he is chaising,
:35:54. > :35:57.Dovizioso. Crutchlow having a great line. Valentino Rossi up behind
:35:57. > :36:05.Bautista. He is the only right rider in the factory bikes who has
:36:05. > :36:12.gone for the softer tyre. Rossi is up into tenth. That last lap around,
:36:12. > :36:17.Lorenzo, Pedrosa then Stoner all set fastest laps. What has Jorge
:36:17. > :36:24.Lorenzo got? I reckon Lap 15 we will find out who the winner is
:36:24. > :36:29.because it will be who has the tyre left. 22 laps around here is hard
:36:29. > :36:36.work. Lovely temperature out there. Dryer this year. A lot less windy.
:36:36. > :36:42.We had monster breezes across the weekend. We had two races to clean
:36:42. > :36:47.up the race line. There are so many marbles on the outside of the track.
:36:47. > :36:52.He is on the inside Stoner. That would of been brave through there.
:36:52. > :36:57.That was close, as you like. Once again, Steve, a lot of marbles on
:36:57. > :37:03.this track. You go wide, it's all over. Marbles being tyre that are
:37:03. > :37:07.laying on the side of the track which are shredded from the
:37:07. > :37:14.Bridgestone tyres. When you run off wide have you to be careful, you
:37:14. > :37:18.can't brake hard or get on the throttle. Take a look at Crutchlow.
:37:18. > :37:23.Listen to these 1000. Crutchlow is all over the back of Dovizioso. He
:37:23. > :37:29.is not playing leapfrog, he means it. Getting to the inside. He got
:37:29. > :37:36.out of that corner really well. Can Lorenzo get it back again?
:37:36. > :37:41.Pedrosa is having a sniff. Can he get it? The Honda has had the speed
:37:41. > :37:45.all weekend. The Yamaha runs wide. He went in there too hot. All
:37:45. > :37:49.weekend the Yamaha has been 10k slower. This was the deal last year
:37:49. > :37:59.with the Honda, exactly the same. The Yamaha is a great package, it
:37:59. > :38:00.
:38:00. > :38:07.handles really good and tidy and smooth in the corners. Stefan Bradl
:38:07. > :38:15.is having a great ride. Ben Spies having a shocker, he is back in
:38:15. > :38:20.seventh. He is struggle. -- struggling. He had a couple of
:38:20. > :38:23.crashes. What he will be carry something a lack of confidence. Two
:38:23. > :38:26.crashes here. He didn't know what happened in either of them.
:38:26. > :38:33.Crutchlow having a great ride there in fifth position. Best result he
:38:33. > :38:37.has had so far has been a fourth in Valencia last year. That crash-
:38:37. > :38:47.strewn race. There he said he wanted to get in the top six, a
:38:47. > :38:48.
:38:48. > :38:53.long way to go yet. He is in front of Ben Spies. There is Ben Spies,
:38:54. > :39:01.the bookies had him at 14-1. It looked like a good bet, not a
:39:01. > :39:06.chance now. He is lapping a second of a lap slower. He is in big
:39:06. > :39:11.trouble. Stoner was the man that we thought had the pace. Has he got
:39:11. > :39:20.the chatter? Clearly not at the moment. They struggled all weekend.
:39:20. > :39:25.He struggled with the softer tyre with fallifying. -- qualifying.
:39:25. > :39:30.It's a strange circuit. Not always the track that shows the form for
:39:30. > :39:37.the year. Crutchlow will be pleased if he can squeeze down the inside.
:39:37. > :39:43.Can he do it. It's his team-mate. Look at those disks glowing there!
:39:43. > :39:52.Those brakes are working so hard. That is interesting, Crutchlow's
:39:52. > :39:57.were hotter and redder than his team mate's Andrea Dovizioso.
:39:57. > :40:04.Carbon pad, carbon material, very hi-tech and expensive. They are
:40:04. > :40:10.�3,000 a disc. They have to be matched to the pads. You have sets
:40:10. > :40:16.and sets... He is being held up by his team-mate. It looks as though
:40:17. > :40:21.Dovi is in Cal Crutchlow's way. That is Dovi's job to hold him back.
:40:21. > :40:26.One of the wierd things about riding around here is the shadows.
:40:26. > :40:33.You see the shadow from the bike. Valentino Rossi not going good in
:40:33. > :40:42.tenth place. He has a problem there. Something really wrong there.
:40:42. > :40:51.Barbera has gone past. He's run wide. He has a problem. We cut to
:40:51. > :40:56.him there. That has been costly for him. Let's have a recap. There is
:40:56. > :41:03.your top ten: Valentino Rossi is back in 12th place. He lost two
:41:03. > :41:09.places. Back to the shadows. When you come here and ride out and you
:41:09. > :41:14.think someone is going to pass you, it's your own shadow. I have always
:41:14. > :41:21.been frightened of my shadow anyway! At least you've got one!
:41:21. > :41:27.Down the pit-straight. Stoner is in the lead. He is still pressing on.
:41:27. > :41:32.Lorenzo is clawing back. Here we go. Crutchlow with the green helmet,
:41:32. > :41:37.his team-mate in the red. You are right... Much harder on the brakes,
:41:37. > :41:41.it seems, than Dovizioso, which is ridiculous. There is something
:41:41. > :41:47.different about their braking pattern. Stefan Bradl. Nice to have
:41:47. > :41:50.a German here riding good. That is the LCR machine. A satellite bike.
:41:50. > :41:55.Not the full factory effort. Still a cracking machine. At the start of
:41:55. > :41:59.the year the satellite bikes are similar to the factory ones because
:41:59. > :42:04.the development hasn't occurred. The difference between a satellite
:42:04. > :42:08.bike and this extra class. factory bikes which you couldn't
:42:08. > :42:12.buy with all the nun China. They are hand built machines, bespoke
:42:12. > :42:17.for the factory riders. Satellite machines which Honda, Yamaha and
:42:17. > :42:25.Ducati go. You can lease for $4 million a year, something like that.
:42:25. > :42:32.You only get to borrow them for that. The CRTs. They are about 1.2
:42:32. > :42:38.million euro as pair. You do get to keep them. There could be some
:42:38. > :42:43.second hand at the end of the year. This is an interesting case in
:42:43. > :42:53.point. That is Alvaro Bautista. James Ellison having a moment of
:42:53. > :43:03.
:43:03. > :43:08.some description. Those discs thing about the circuit it is very
:43:08. > :43:16.safe. Will he stop before the gravel? Yes, fortunately for him.
:43:16. > :43:25.The point about Bautista or is that he does have eight working speck
:43:25. > :43:31.satellite bike. It is quite a weird one. It was a bite -- bike destined
:43:31. > :43:41.for Marco Simoncelli, of course. Dovizioso is keeping Cal Crutchlow
:43:41. > :43:49.
:43:49. > :43:53.very honest. Giving each other the race laps, he is only about three
:43:53. > :43:59.seconds behind Valentino. He is lapping about three-tenths of a
:43:59. > :44:03.second slower. Colin Edwards riding on the BMW engine, and they have
:44:03. > :44:06.been harder work sorting out the bike, trying to get the electronics
:44:06. > :44:14.worked out. Casey Stoner still leading but the gap is not moving
:44:14. > :44:20.immensely. Danny Pedro's is keeping Jorge Lorenzo on Istin said -- Dani
:44:20. > :44:27.Pedrosa is keeping Jorge Lorenzo on us. -- honest. It has all been
:44:27. > :44:31.pretty tight, the same as the warm- up. Casey Stoner does always grab a
:44:31. > :44:35.bit more curve than anyone else, particularly on the inside of the
:44:35. > :44:40.track. He nails it over the top. It is interesting to watch him. And
:44:40. > :44:49.Karel Abraham is pulling in. A technical problem for No. 17, the
:44:49. > :44:54.Czech rider. That is unusual. Not what you need on your debut.
:44:54. > :45:00.Add anything that is his sister, she looks to Keane, Ince is Godman
:45:00. > :45:10.-- I don't think that is his sister. She looks too keen, it is his
:45:10. > :45:17.
:45:17. > :45:24.Rossi has been alienated. You have been working on that all weekend.
:45:24. > :45:28.He looked good off the curve... A unfortunately Dovizioso is very
:45:28. > :45:37.late on the brakes, so you will have to think about another part of
:45:37. > :45:47.the track. Come back, come on! Nothing against Dovizioso but we do
:45:47. > :45:51.want Cal Crutchlow. This is the BBC, we are partisan in an impartial way.
:45:51. > :45:54.The owner always going to be a bit tense in this situation. The if
:45:54. > :45:59.that was anybody but his team mate, he would have really muscled him
:45:59. > :46:05.wide. All he can do is hope Dovizioso can make a mistake or
:46:05. > :46:09.something. He is definitely held up in the middle of the corners. It is
:46:09. > :46:13.very frustrating. I have been in the situation where someone is
:46:13. > :46:18.blocking the corner right in the middle and we say motor cycles are
:46:18. > :46:22.not wide, but there is only one optimum line and it is a couple of
:46:22. > :46:27.inches off that. That is another one. The team-mate of Alvaro
:46:27. > :46:36.Bautista or, a real shame. We thought he would have a better run
:46:36. > :46:40.than that, Pirro, but he's in. Again, a lot of these teams are
:46:40. > :46:49.just sorting things out at the moment. Look at this. Heres where
:46:49. > :46:54.he could have done it, maybe. Not there. He just ran a bit wide.
:46:54. > :46:59.a metre wide of Dovizioso, and it's a bit like riding a damp track. You
:46:59. > :47:06.just after a stay on the line. Passing is extremely difficult. --
:47:06. > :47:11.have to stay on the line. A moment thought on his own for Cal
:47:11. > :47:15.Crutchlow, but he has kept it on the black. Those guys are adrift of
:47:15. > :47:25.the leaders by four seconds but a comfortable gap until the next guy
:47:25. > :47:35.but so they can sort it out between themselves. That is what you 0.5
:47:35. > :47:44.
:47:45. > :47:54.seconds looks like. -- 2.5 seconds. debut to be in the top seven in
:47:54. > :48:01.MotoGP. Looking at the lap times, he is closing down Hector Barbera.
:48:01. > :48:05.It shows how hard Valentino Rossi is pushing. Nobody is a bigger fan
:48:05. > :48:11.of Valentino Rossi than me, but it is sad to see him not jelling with
:48:11. > :48:19.the bike. Meanwhile you have to say Nicky Hayden is doing well with the
:48:19. > :48:23.Ducati in front of him. Alvaro Bautista riding a bike that would
:48:23. > :48:28.have been ridden by Marco Simoncelli. Right behind him, Nicky
:48:28. > :48:32.Hayden, who will be frustrated because he is behind where he
:48:32. > :48:38.qualified. He qualified in 5th and is back in 8th. The different
:48:38. > :48:45.characteristics of the by, not suiting him. We see a crestfallen
:48:45. > :48:51.Karel Abraham. A very handy rider. His front brake is on, and that is
:48:51. > :48:59.what he was indicating that. Nicky Hayden is past Bautista, so that is
:48:59. > :49:04.up to 7th. Karel Abraham, the youngest rider in the field, at 22,
:49:04. > :49:12.retires but I think that was a front brake problem. I am sure we
:49:12. > :49:20.will get the knowledge on that in a minute. His father to the left.
:49:20. > :49:30.What is the lip reading telling us? Front brake. That is the battle for
:49:30. > :49:32.
:49:32. > :49:36.second. The second Ducati out there. He is absolutely as close as you
:49:37. > :49:41.like to Bautista and Nicky Hayden who are tripping each other a bit.
:49:41. > :49:46.There are the Pramac always, they are busy doing this, and also
:49:46. > :49:54.running the lights round the circuit so their hands are full.
:49:55. > :50:00.He's about to get past by Valentino Rossi, so he has major issues.
:50:00. > :50:05.had a huge crash in practice and hurt his neck. You did not fiddle
:50:06. > :50:12.with anything outside the garage? Don't be stupid, that would be a
:50:12. > :50:17.good luck charm. Valentino Rossi is closing him down. That is the
:50:17. > :50:22.battle for 10th place. This is the battle for the lead and it is not
:50:22. > :50:30.much of a battle. Casey Stoner has 1.7 seconds back to Lorenzo and 13
:50:30. > :50:38.laps to go. Valentino Rossi just doing his fastest lap of the race,
:50:38. > :50:44.57.1, but the same as Hector Barbera. Stonor's last lap was 55.9.
:50:44. > :50:49.That is the problem that the Ducati team have. And Nicky Hayden's last
:50:49. > :50:57.lap was 57.7. So, slower than Valentino Rossi. So, it is the bike,
:50:58. > :51:04.guys. We ride with Valentino Rossi. You can get the shot of the gears
:51:05. > :51:10.and everything going on on that digital dashboard. All you ever
:51:10. > :51:14.really look at is the shift like when you change gear. On the Yamaha,
:51:14. > :51:19.then the Honda, then down the track there is Cal Crutchlow, still
:51:19. > :51:25.chasing doggedly. Here they come again. He has tried that so many
:51:25. > :51:29.times. He just hasn't quite cracked it. It is a difficult place to pass,
:51:29. > :51:34.when you are chasing into the corner. We had a word up from the
:51:34. > :51:41.pits, confirming it was the front brake off No. 17, Karel Abraham.
:51:41. > :51:51.See, I am good at lip-reading. are good. Colin Edwards having a
:51:51. > :51:54.
:51:54. > :52:00.belting run. Hernandez. He is having a good run. Behind him is
:52:00. > :52:06.Randy de Puniet, who we all know and love. A, what a movement!
:52:06. > :52:12.really riding the wheels off that, Yonny Hernandez. His Ford keeps
:52:12. > :52:17.coming off the rest, so I don't know if he has an issue there.
:52:17. > :52:20.fidgets. He's very Kumble -- colourful, Yonny Hernandez. There
:52:20. > :52:26.will be little races all away through the field, which is
:52:26. > :52:34.fantastic. Hernandez trying to fight back. Randy de Puniet having
:52:34. > :52:38.a good run. Yes, coming back, after that massive crash last night. They
:52:38. > :52:45.have fixed the by Cup. A pretty expensive crash, but he has gone
:52:45. > :52:49.through -- they fixed the bike up. Colin Edwards a bit further down
:52:49. > :52:53.the road is leading him. About five seconds down the road but we will
:52:53. > :53:03.find out if he closes in in. We are riding with Cal Crutchlow. He is
:53:03. > :53:03.
:53:03. > :53:08.through, surely! No. A good scrap though. Neat stuff. Let's try this
:53:08. > :53:13.again. We have had 11 goes at it, so let's have another. The crowd
:53:13. > :53:19.shouting. An enormous amount of English people and he's on the
:53:19. > :53:23.inside, but can't quite do it. The front brakes working them heart,
:53:23. > :53:29.trailing them in nicely. -- working them hard. A huge amount of British
:53:29. > :53:36.fans in this weekend. If Stefan Bradl are behind them starts to
:53:36. > :53:44.give them any encouragement he will be more motivated again. He will
:53:44. > :53:49.not want to get Monster by Stefan Bradl. Carl Crutchlow's that shaped
:53:49. > :53:54.his moustache off -- Cal Crutchlow shaved his moustache off because he
:53:54. > :54:03.had a bet saying that if he got on the front row of the grid he would
:54:03. > :54:11.do it. He does look younger as well. There is the master. Casey Stoner
:54:11. > :54:15.is running in around 56. He is dropping back because he can.
:54:15. > :54:20.not giving himself an easier time. It has not slowed him up, having
:54:20. > :54:24.children, that is for certain. I spoke to him yesterday and may save
:54:24. > :54:28.you get married you get slower, you have children, you get slower and
:54:28. > :54:32.his answer was, I think that was back in the days when it was a bit
:54:32. > :54:39.more dangerous. It's not like as dangerous as it was in the olden
:54:39. > :54:44.days, meaning my days! But it is true. It is not as dangerous as it
:54:44. > :54:51.used to be and it certainly hasn't slowed him up. Hang on a minute.
:54:51. > :55:01.This is the part of the circuit where Crutchlow is really need. --
:55:01. > :55:03.
:55:03. > :55:10.coming wide on that bit of the circuit. Do you think it is slowing
:55:10. > :55:14.him down on the straight? Easy drifting too early? -- easy
:55:14. > :55:20.drifting too early? His girlfriend willing him to get through. If he
:55:20. > :55:23.does not, he will be in a bad mood, and she will pay for it.A bad mood
:55:23. > :55:28.when you cannot get pass someone in the car, so goodness knows what it
:55:28. > :55:34.will be like if he cannot slip through. It was all down to the
:55:34. > :55:39.first or second corner shuffle. said earlier on that Bautista, non-
:55:39. > :55:44.-- No. 19, he has gone for a softer rear tyre than anyone else.
:55:44. > :55:54.Interesting to see if that does come off. We have had 13 out of 22
:55:54. > :56:04.laps. A good run from Hector Barbera. He's only got one bike
:56:04. > :56:28.
:56:28. > :56:34.Nicky Hayden pressing on. I reckon he is in the wake of Bautista
:56:34. > :56:37.little bit. The trio is compressing. Yes, the only good thing for Nicky
:56:37. > :56:45.is that he has had the speed through the weekend and has plenty
:56:45. > :56:54.of top end when they will get to the end of the straight. Barbera
:56:54. > :57:03.did a third 340 case. This will be where he got past him. Pretty neat.
:57:03. > :57:13.He nails the apex. Job done. A lovely blocked pass. Nice, tidy,
:57:13. > :57:15.
:57:15. > :57:25.straight faster than at any time across the weekend. 340 is really
:57:25. > :57:25.
:57:25. > :57:30.getting a read on. 230 in old money. If you're on a motorcycle going
:57:30. > :57:34.over 230 mph, you have to hang on, believe me. It is extraordinary,
:57:34. > :57:40.the force of the wind. If you are not holding on to the handlebars
:57:40. > :57:45.you can fly off like you are on a parachute. That is the battle at
:57:45. > :57:51.the front, and that is the gap. It is easy in are a little bit, you
:57:51. > :57:58.know. In fact, Lorenzo took half a second bout of Casey Stoner on the
:57:58. > :58:05.last laugh. -- half a second out of Casey Stoner on the last lap.
:58:05. > :58:10.reckon we are in the tyres own. -- zone. Has the Yamaha dollars
:58:10. > :58:16.degradation than the Honda? Remember last year he was leading
:58:16. > :58:22.and the tyres came off. 1.6, that is where the gaps started, but over
:58:22. > :58:26.a lap ago it was two seconds. Let's monitoring closely. Casey Stoner
:58:26. > :58:31.responding a little on sector three per we are talking tens of seconds.
:58:32. > :58:35.It is so important to have a lot of tyre when you have 240 brake horse
:58:35. > :58:41.power on the track with a piece of a tyre about the size of the palm
:58:41. > :58:51.of your hand. If it goes off, egos of big style. It overheats and then
:58:51. > :58:58.
:58:58. > :59:03.the whole thing gets worse and nice gap. When it Gus plus 1, you
:59:03. > :59:08.you are know you are in serious trouble. You can see, the control
:59:08. > :59:16.that we talk about. The rider being balanced. He threw himself to the
:59:16. > :59:21.inside of the bike to get the bike stood up. Stoner is a specialist at
:59:22. > :59:31.this track. He stacked together a bunch of wins. Came here in 2005
:59:31. > :59:36.and fut on pole. 2006. 2006. On a satellite Honda. Rossi is good
:59:36. > :59:44.around here. He has a good wining record. Jorge Lorenzo has never won
:59:44. > :59:50.here in the premier class. Stefan Bradl is coming under pressure now.
:59:50. > :59:58.Nicky Hayden closed down Stefan Bradl. Hayden has put in the faster
:59:58. > :00:05.lap. The Ducati is coming back to him. Worn tyres can bring the bike
:00:05. > :00:10.back to you. Bradl is new to this cls. He is the reigning Moto2 world
:00:10. > :00:13.champion. It take as while, doesn't it, to learn how to get everything
:00:13. > :00:19.out of the machine when you are learning a new machine. There is a
:00:19. > :00:24.lot to learn in making it last the distance. You never really earn it
:00:24. > :00:29.in testing. When you come to a race like this it's more valuable. You
:00:29. > :00:34.get to know what is going on with the bike. Tyre wear and all this
:00:34. > :00:42.type of thing. He is calculating this as he is going around, trying
:00:42. > :00:47.to cling on to the 240 horse brake power... The other key point is
:00:47. > :00:57.that people are getting in your way when you are racing, not when you
:00:57. > :01:03.
:01:03. > :01:07.Head under neath the screen. It's extraordinary. These guys are all
:01:07. > :01:13.absolute athletes. I've seen them in the gym every morning. You were
:01:13. > :01:17.not there. I didn't feel the need much I looked at myself and thought,
:01:17. > :01:27."job done". What mirror are you using? All bought and paid for,
:01:27. > :01:37.
:01:37. > :01:46.with you to train but he felt riding these was the best training
:01:46. > :01:52.he could get. That gap is 1: 8 at the front. Pedrosa is not bothering
:01:52. > :01:56.Lorenzo. He is keeping him very honest. The gap is around half a
:01:57. > :02:01.second. I would of said the Yamaha, watching it all weekend, the Yamaha
:02:01. > :02:08.is the smoothest and will probably be the best, or least worn tyres.
:02:08. > :02:12.That is my feeling watching Jorge Lorenzo, who is probably one of the
:02:12. > :02:18.smoothest riders we are going to see. We are now into tyre time. He
:02:18. > :02:26.will want to see that Honda coming back to him. His last lap was a
:02:26. > :02:35.tenth faster the last time around, Jorge Lorenzo. Casey Stoner many
:02:35. > :02:45.things, not easy on his bike. He gets 11th tenths out of it. Check
:02:45. > :02:48.
:02:48. > :02:55.that gap. 1: 887 last time. 1: 5. OK. We have a race on. 17: 2 2.
:02:55. > :03:01.can do themath. That is do-able. The battle for fourth, it's still
:03:01. > :03:06.going on. The two black bikes, trying to find the long way round.
:03:06. > :03:16.He can't get to the inside on time. Bradl now has plenty of attention.
:03:16. > :03:21.Bradl, right behind him the Ducati of Nicky Hayden then Bautista then
:03:21. > :03:26.Honda, Ducati. That's as close as you like. Honda, Ducati. That is a
:03:26. > :03:36.neat should havele. A great effort there from Stefan Bradl on his
:03:36. > :03:36.
:03:37. > :03:42.first ever MotoGP. Moto2 World Champion. 22 years old. A daunting
:03:42. > :03:47.prospect. He will be hearing that Ducati... Look at this! Job done.
:03:47. > :03:55.Cal Crutchlow, as soon as you look away this happens. I'm sure we will
:03:55. > :04:01.get a re-play. He is through. Crutchlow is through. Great news.
:04:01. > :04:06.Let's see what Cal Crutchlow can do. It looked like he was being held up.
:04:06. > :04:15.Andrea Dovizioso is a smaller Cal. He is late on the brakes. Look at
:04:15. > :04:25.this, sorry to interrupt. Bautista has been mugged, the two Spaniards
:04:25. > :04:40.
:04:40. > :04:46.Stefan Bradl trying to keep away Nicky Hayden. 1: 1. All of a sudden.
:04:46. > :04:55.The big pressure is Pedrosa really starting to muscle Lorenzo. The gap
:04:55. > :04:59.at the front has fallen apart. has. It was down to a second. Even
:04:59. > :05:03.closer. Here we go. Has Stoner cooked those tyres. They are all
:05:03. > :05:07.the same. It's how you ride them. What the bike setup is. The way you
:05:07. > :05:11.put the power on. The way the electronics work. It's all about
:05:11. > :05:18.that. I think Jorge Lorenzo is one of the smoother guys out there.
:05:18. > :05:23.Dani Pedrosa is lighter, 20 kilos lighter, or 15 anyway. His tyres
:05:23. > :05:27.should be less worn. Once he senses blood in the water, Lorenzo will
:05:27. > :05:32.have his tail up. He can sense it. He is about to know what Honda
:05:33. > :05:38.tastes like. He looks like he can get past hoor here. He took half a
:05:39. > :05:44.second out of Stoner last time around. The gap is still stumbling.
:05:44. > :05:49.It looks like when, not if. We have another four laps remaining. They
:05:49. > :05:55.have closed it down hugely. Look at the way they are sliding. There is
:05:55. > :06:01.Dani Pedrosa who normally has the wheels in line.you couldn't bet
:06:01. > :06:06.against Dani Pedrosa winning this race. The Hondas are faster down
:06:06. > :06:16.the straight. Nicky Hayden has lost two places he is behind Barbera and
:06:16. > :06:18.
:06:18. > :06:27.Bautista. There is too much going on. There will be stressful times
:06:27. > :06:32.for bike No 1. 26, Pedrosa, the only chance Stoner has. If he can
:06:32. > :06:41.put pressure on. Watch this now. Closing, closing, closing. Is he
:06:41. > :06:45.going to go for it? Not always the latest on the brakes. He has done
:06:45. > :06:48.so. Honda, Honda now. Pedrosa is the fastest guy on the track.
:06:48. > :06:51.said watch for him. I didn't think it would be watching for him
:06:51. > :06:57.exactly like. This this is extraordinary. You are riding with
:06:57. > :07:03.Lorenzo. It's a sandwich now. It's as close as you like. Four laps to
:07:03. > :07:08.go. We have the three standing aliens together, two Hondas. Those
:07:08. > :07:12.two guys, Steve, again, took another half a second out of Stoner.
:07:13. > :07:18.Stoner has major round black issues, by the looks of. It look at that!
:07:18. > :07:23.He's been mugged, how about that? Jorge Lorenzo, thanks for the
:07:23. > :07:27.little gap. Room in there for a small one. He didn't need second
:07:27. > :07:31.invitation, did he? Jorge Lorenzo is right up the back of Casey
:07:31. > :07:35.Stoner Honda now. Three together. We don't need look at any monitors
:07:35. > :07:42.or timing boards, it's physical. They are locked in battle. Have we
:07:42. > :07:46.a fight on our hands. Lore is No 1 in the premier class. Stoner has
:07:46. > :07:56.had more wins than anyone. Things look like they will be squared up.
:07:56. > :07:57.
:07:57. > :08:03.He's coming on the outside. wasn't close enough. Boy, oh, boy!
:08:03. > :08:09.Pedrosa has rear grip out of that last corner Turn 11. Up to 12. Now
:08:09. > :08:15.up towards the final few corners for the long straight. This will be
:08:15. > :08:21.interesting down the straight. Is he going for the inside? He has!
:08:21. > :08:27.Unbelievable. Can he cut back? Let's watch for the drive Stoner
:08:27. > :08:32.gets out of here. The Honda has more squirt. The Lorenzo got out of
:08:32. > :08:39.there to the max? He absolutely did. He has the inside line. Will he get
:08:39. > :08:43.it stopped again into this first corner? Three laps to go, guys. Boy.
:08:43. > :08:47.Who would of thought. We did say Lap 15 would be tyre time. It
:08:47. > :08:51.played into that. This is what we want this year, Bridgestone made a
:08:51. > :08:56.tyre that is more universal tyre. It won't have the durability, I
:08:56. > :09:01.don't think, of last year's tyre. We hope we will get rid of those
:09:01. > :09:09.cold washouts on lap one or lap two. Horrible. We don't care if they are
:09:09. > :09:14.worn out at the end, because it makes for good racing. Great racing.
:09:14. > :09:19.Fantastic. Stoner has to deal with his team-mate. He is the guy that
:09:20. > :09:25.has fewer... Look at that, he is in trouble Stoner. Dani Pedrosa is in
:09:25. > :09:28.less trouble as far as tyres are concerned. He has to get past his
:09:28. > :09:33.team-mate. He will be so fast down the straight it won't be funny.
:09:33. > :09:39.Look at this, look at that gap? You don't need a timing monitor.
:09:39. > :09:44.Lorenzo is gone, he's on the next page. I would say Stoner has
:09:44. > :09:48.chatter going on. More than just tyre grip. I'm talking about he how
:09:48. > :09:53.he goes to the inside of the kerb there. All over the place, Stoner
:09:53. > :09:58.is pushing hard. Amazing how he grabs the inside of the kerb which
:09:58. > :10:05.are nowhere near the grip. He has the confidence to let it slide
:10:05. > :10:08.across and drift back over the track. There is the boss of Yamaha
:10:08. > :10:12.Racing. Cal Crutchlow further back is still hanging on to that gap in
:10:12. > :10:19.front of Dovizioso, only by a couple of tenths. Pedrosa looking
:10:19. > :10:24.for a way through. He can't do. It he is dropping back. Stoner is
:10:24. > :10:28.defending. Number 26, Dani Pedrosa, will get the slip stream here. I
:10:28. > :10:32.think Stoner is later on the brakes normally. He has the draft past.
:10:32. > :10:37.Surely, he is going to miss the corner? He managed to get it
:10:37. > :10:42.stopped. Unreal! That was impressive. That was something we
:10:42. > :10:48.didn't use to see from Dani Pedrosa. Outbraking Casey Stoner. He has
:10:48. > :10:52.been working oen that. Two laps to grks buddy. Has he any chance of
:10:52. > :10:56.closing down Lorenzo? Dani Pedrosa has. I believe he has. If he gets a
:10:56. > :11:01.clear run he has a chance, two lapse remaining. One and three
:11:01. > :11:06.quarters now. If he has tyres left. The speed down the straight. He has
:11:06. > :11:11.0.8 of a second. We will find out if he has closed that gap down.
:11:11. > :11:14.This is turning into a cracking start to MotoGP season. Watch the
:11:14. > :11:20.rear wheel. As he gets on the brakes here, the rear wheel comes
:11:20. > :11:24.up. I thought he was going to run it in there too hot. Got it stopped
:11:24. > :11:29.nicely. The world champion there watching with great interest.
:11:29. > :11:32.glad I'm not doing this any more. That looks like hard work. Has he
:11:32. > :11:38.come around to help Valentino Rossi to talk him out of what is going on
:11:38. > :11:43.in his head. Ben Spies is back in 11 behind Valentino Rossi.
:11:43. > :11:53.Valentino Rossi is in the top ten, at ten. Still hanging in. There is
:11:53. > :11:57.Cal and his team-mate. I like Andrea Dovizioso but this is our
:11:58. > :12:07.preferred order. Fourth place. at this, Barbera still in front of
:12:07. > :12:14.Nicky Hayden. There is your lead Ducati. Nicky Hayden. The boss of
:12:14. > :12:18.Ducati is here. Nicky will dive up the inside. He ran wide there.
:12:18. > :12:23.Running wide is Barbera. Hector Barbera is on the bike they
:12:23. > :12:29.discarded at the end of last season saying it wasn't quite right. He is
:12:29. > :12:36.on the "B" machine, Hector Barbera. He is doing a good job on it. 0.9
:12:36. > :12:42.of a second we have. He extended it. Come on, Cal, you can do. It brake
:12:42. > :12:50.as late as you can, but get it stopped. Leg out, don't try to pass
:12:50. > :12:58.there or I'll kick you! OK, nice and neat. Look at this gagle, 69,
:12:58. > :13:07.Hayden, 19, Bautista, Barbera. Can he stop it? No. No, no, no! See ya,
:13:07. > :13:12.mate. What a shame for him. The battle for sixth position. Bautista
:13:13. > :13:17.in seventh place. Charlie is choking. I get a bit excited.
:13:17. > :13:22.Someone not excited here is Lorenzo. It looks neat and job done. They
:13:22. > :13:28.are starting to smile. Starting to relax. So they should. He has all
:13:28. > :13:32.about a second lead. Final lap. Jorge Lorenzo, the 2010 World
:13:32. > :13:38.Champion. Never won here in the premier class. He has had wins in
:13:38. > :13:42.other classes. This will stand the entire thing on it is ear. Casey
:13:42. > :13:49.Stoner has dropped way back now. He will have to settle for the last
:13:49. > :13:59.step on the podium. You could of got monster odds on Dani Pedrosa
:13:59. > :14:06.
:14:06. > :14:14.beating Stoner. You could of. Half pretty comfortable. Dani Pedrosa
:14:14. > :14:19.coming up, but he will know the gap. Dani Pedrosa will be being careful
:14:19. > :14:23.and will not want to chuck it down the road. It is all his. Head down,
:14:23. > :14:31.and you wouldn't believe it. Yamaha takes the first blood of 2012.
:14:31. > :14:38.Lorenzo wins in Qatar.. Casey Stoner, the world champion,
:14:38. > :14:46.finishes third. What a shovel that was. Cal Crutchlow, you beauty,
:14:46. > :14:56.qualifying third, finishes 4th. Take That, Britain! Nice work. And
:14:56. > :14:58.
:14:58. > :15:06.Nicky Hayden, he takes the honours. The top six for Nicky. Hector
:15:06. > :15:12.Barbera breaking himself, and sad to say, Valentino Rossi, 10th place.
:15:12. > :15:16.The third placed Ducati. That is a real shame. OK, Ben Spies, we don't
:15:16. > :15:21.know what happened to him. He has just got a hold of Colin Edwards
:15:21. > :15:29.who was the leading CRT runner. Nice job, Colin, a bit of a giant-
:15:29. > :15:35.killing. 11th, not bad. 12 place for Colin, good stuff for him. It
:15:35. > :15:43.comes round the de Puniet. He kept his motorcycle -- Randy de Puniet.
:15:43. > :15:48.He kept his motorcycle together. Yonny Hernandez came third in CRT.
:15:49. > :15:58.14 out right, third in CRT. There were races all the way through that,
:15:59. > :15:59.
:15:59. > :16:03.it was a belter. There is Aleix Espargaro rounding out the top 15.
:16:03. > :16:11.James Allison still circulating. He is a bit of a way back. -- James
:16:11. > :16:18.Ellison. Casey Stoner has been the guy to beat and is always the guy
:16:18. > :16:24.to beat around here. Jorge Lorenzo, a great start of the season for him.
:16:24. > :16:32.He is asking what is going on. I deny have time to tell you on the
:16:32. > :16:41.slowing-down lap, but I'm sure will find out. Jorge Lorenzo.
:16:41. > :16:45.conditions, 56.3, that was his last lap. It was a shocking problem he
:16:46. > :16:51.must add developed there. We have got our hands on a championship. If
:16:51. > :16:55.Casey Stoner is going to have to work that hard against this guy,
:16:55. > :17:04.and if they can scratch their way back with a Ducati, we could have a
:17:04. > :17:10.real run on our hands. Last lap for Lorenzo, 56.3. Last lap for
:17:10. > :17:14.Crutchlow, 56.7 at the end of the race. Casey Stoner, I wouldn't want
:17:15. > :17:19.to be in the garage after that. I guess that the bike went away from
:17:19. > :17:27.him. He looked very comfortable until about lack 16, and they are
:17:27. > :17:35.scratching their heads already. will be absolutely chuffed, won't
:17:35. > :17:40.he? No question. Qualifying in 7th position, but what a start. He had
:17:40. > :17:45.a big spill in the practice. That knocked him around a bit. He will
:17:45. > :17:49.be thinking, one more lap, I could have got it. Raich -- races are
:17:49. > :17:54.always too short when you think that. Colin Edwards, plenty of life
:17:54. > :17:59.and the old dog. He is pleased to be we his team. Valentino Rossi
:17:59. > :18:09.will be distraught. It is horrible coming in and everyone staring at
:18:09. > :18:17.
:18:17. > :18:23.Especially when your former partner is in front of you. There is the
:18:23. > :18:33.chief of the crew. He will be dead pleased with that. A good solid
:18:33. > :18:36.
:18:36. > :18:41.start to the season. This yes. -- think he might have a problem with
:18:41. > :18:48.his arm. The tea is a monster breaking circuit. Nicky Hayden was
:18:48. > :18:53.thinking he rode the wheels off it, but it is just too difficult. At
:18:53. > :19:03.least he dragged everything out of himself to be the main Ducati in
:19:03. > :19:04.
:19:04. > :19:08.the top six. What a start for Jorge Lorenzo. It went wrong last year
:19:09. > :19:13.when he lost the tip of his finger. He is a bit lighter this year, but
:19:13. > :19:21.he has it sorted. I think he was on that unimportant wedding ring
:19:21. > :19:31.finger, wasn't it? Yes. OK, you can see the top three but we are most
:19:31. > :19:34.
:19:34. > :19:44.Carl Crutchlow finished second. -- Cal Crutchlow. Fantastic
:19:44. > :19:54.performance. What a great battle. Yes, you know. Yamaha has done a
:19:54. > :19:55.
:19:55. > :20:01.great shot. Andre has come in and was still in the championship last
:20:01. > :20:09.year so he is no slouch. The bike is working well, so thanks to
:20:09. > :20:13.everyone at helm. I think this is more deserved. We have worked hard
:20:13. > :20:17.over the winter. We did not get a podium this time, but there were
:20:17. > :20:27.three guys fast on the day, simple as that. The podium was not that
:20:27. > :20:30.
:20:30. > :20:38.Valencia 1 was a bit lucky, but this was a solid one. That is what
:20:38. > :20:47.Here we go, it is the shatter -- chatter, and we have got the arm of
:20:47. > :20:51.pomp. Credit to Cal Crutchlow, it sounds like he's been for a Sunday
:20:51. > :20:56.afternoon ride. It shows how fit he is. I'd seen him in the swimming
:20:56. > :21:02.pool trying to keep his strength up. A good solid ride from Cal
:21:02. > :21:12.Crutchlow, and we are proud of him. Yeah, what are you doing after?
:21:12. > :21:18.
:21:18. > :21:23.That is what he is saying there. Valentino Rossi, rounding out the
:21:23. > :21:29.top 10. A tough day for Casey Stoner. Was it the tyres, the
:21:29. > :21:36.chassis, the arm? It wasn't an issue with the chassis. We were the
:21:36. > :21:40.fastest out there and after four laps I started getting really bad
:21:40. > :21:43.arm pomp. After I came out the running corners, I was holding on
:21:43. > :21:47.by two fingers on the exit and then every time it was shaking my hands
:21:47. > :21:55.off. By the end of the race I could not repay any more and I couldn't
:21:55. > :21:59.use the brakes. I couldn't keep up the pace. There was no problem with
:21:59. > :22:05.us winning tonight. We had a bit of chatter at the end, but in general
:22:05. > :22:09.we are happy. A lot of positives to take from this. We have a couple of
:22:09. > :22:13.weeks to de -- recover and train. We have to solve the right arm
:22:13. > :22:23.pumping, but we are happy with the pace we are out. Congratulations,
:22:23. > :22:23.
:22:23. > :22:28.with that is you do not know how to fix it. It is not always the
:22:28. > :22:38.easiest thing to fix. Let's check the standings, the same as the race
:22:38. > :22:49.
:22:49. > :22:54.Dani Pedrosa will be chuffed. smile when you came in there.
:22:54. > :23:04.Congratulations on the podium. Thank you. I really enjoyed this
:23:04. > :23:10.race. I had a great time and I was not at my best over the weekend but
:23:10. > :23:18.today I think my team and I did a superb job. The start was key. And
:23:18. > :23:21.then I had the rhythm. We had good rhythm and unfortunately the end,
:23:21. > :23:25.Jorge Lorenzo was a bit smarter than me and made the right passes,
:23:25. > :23:35.and the overtakes and I was stuck with Casey Stoner for a lap and
:23:35. > :23:40.then he was gone. But anyway, very happy. Hopefully we can continue
:23:40. > :23:45.like this and get better for the next one. Fun for you and fun for
:23:45. > :23:55.us to watch. Congratulations. Thanks to everyone, that was jolly
:23:55. > :23:57.
:23:57. > :24:00.with Casey Stoner, it is horrible because you don't know how to fix
:24:01. > :24:04.it. You will have specialists looking at it but it's not the
:24:04. > :24:11.first time he suffered with something like mad. It is a big
:24:11. > :24:21.break here. It is when your muscle gets bigger than the sack than a
:24:21. > :24:23.
:24:23. > :24:26.Tissier's. Jorge Lorenzo your race You will be delighted with the win
:24:26. > :24:32.and Dani Pedrosa told us you were just a bit smarter. An amazing race.
:24:32. > :24:38.I put in all of my energy into the track. This victory shows you must
:24:38. > :24:48.never give up. Casey Stoner has been very strong at the beginning
:24:48. > :24:48.
:24:48. > :24:56.but hopefully for me and for as he dropped his pace and and when I
:24:56. > :24:59.passed him, I then past Dani Pedrosa. Amazing race, Colin. I am
:24:59. > :25:05.very grateful for Yamaha because they have done a good job this
:25:05. > :25:11.winter. They have improved a little bit, so they have been very strong.
:25:11. > :25:14.Leading the championship. The start of the very hard season. Thank you.
:25:14. > :25:19.It will not be an easy season, Steve, but the real key was in
:25:19. > :25:23.keeping up the pressure, wasn't it? That makes it so much harder. Even
:25:23. > :25:27.if you don't think you can get past, you have to keep leaning on the guy
:25:27. > :25:34.in front of you, in that case Casey Stoner. We do not want an easy
:25:35. > :25:38.season. We want a tough season for everyone. Arm pump is like to get
:25:38. > :25:41.cramp and it is just pumped up on your arms and you're clinging on to
:25:41. > :25:48.the bikes. It is not pulling the brake on, because you do that with
:25:48. > :25:52.two fingers. It is just hanging on to the bike. You are clinging on,
:25:52. > :25:55.doing 210 mph and having to hang on and the really is horrible holding
:25:55. > :25:59.on to a motorcycle with that sort of horse power at that speed and
:25:59. > :26:04.you cannot, because your army's feeling bad. We know Casey Stoner
:26:04. > :26:08.is a physical rider. Another bloke who does not want to wear himself
:26:08. > :26:15.out his Colin Edwards. Congratulations, the top CRT. How
:26:15. > :26:22.was the race? It was all right. The first corner I knew would be crazy.
:26:22. > :26:26.The guys behind me were in Super Sport mode, they are axe murderers!
:26:26. > :26:32.It was a little bit crazy. I didn't want to get caught up in something
:26:32. > :26:42.stupid. Anyway after that we picked them off one by one. They settled
:26:42. > :26:44.
:26:44. > :26:48.into a paste and around a third term the bike was bubbling and I
:26:48. > :26:53.spent a lap with my hand on the clutch waiting for something to
:26:53. > :27:01.happen. I must afflicted to harden the electronics got confused but
:27:01. > :27:07.then I saw Benn coming. I put my head down and he left to beat in
:27:07. > :27:14.reserve. You didn't finish saying a rude word, so we will let you get
:27:14. > :27:19.away with it. Sorry about it. crazy kids! Yamaha leading the
:27:19. > :27:28.construction championship, as you would expect. Repsol, the leading
:27:28. > :27:36.Honda team, Yamaha Factory in behind. Monster, Ducati, and
:27:36. > :27:41.looking at that she would have to say that Bautista has a bit to do.
:27:41. > :27:51.Yes, he doesn't seem to have gelled with a motorcycle as much as you
:27:51. > :27:54.
:27:54. > :27:59.Very much so, but he pushed very hard. It will be enormous relief to
:27:59. > :28:03.this guy that he can do it and it is much closer than it was last
:28:03. > :28:09.year, let's face it. Casey Stoner was always going to win unless
:28:09. > :28:13.something went wrong, but now he has his hands full. I am really
:28:13. > :28:18.impress, I've got to say. I was impressed with Stefan Bradl, and he
:28:18. > :28:23.is a star of the future. OK, we have a championship on our hands.
:28:23. > :28:28.It looks that way, chaps, and wouldn't you know it, the next
