Thread: More Silly Season: Toseland Out & Spies In

That's what I like to see, a man willing to back up his word.

I agree with this...I think he will be in the top 8 his first year

but for you, it should have been double or nothing! THE great thing about this area is the wide variety of good burrito places. For the Brits: is there a decent taco stand in London? If not, why not? One of you might make a killing with it!

I wouldn't exactly say that he's lucky if he wins a race, but as Haga and Fabrizio can beat him when the Ducati is sorted, Rea can beat him when the Honda is on song and Biagi can match his lap times on an Aprilia that is in it's first season, the chances of...
