is it time to go racing yet?

8 days to qatar, sete is already on the no-show list, with shoulder issues. nicky hayden needs to get on the gas, he has top shelf equipment and serious team backing, time to open it up and let it rip. casey stoner and valentino rossi will most certainly be in their own little worlds, but lets once again keep an eye on colin edwards to keep them honest. james toseland is not on the radar and with the new rules for 2009, it does not look good for him at all.
if it was not for the drama with colin and james we would almost be bored with motoGP in anticipation of the impending change to the 250/moto2 class. as long as these things are faster than a supersport bike, and as loud as a motoGP bike, i for one should be quite happy. and behind the scenes drama would surely be deafend by little bikes making a lot of noise.
