Yes, his knee flared up bad a week ago when he first got on the bike. I wouldn't expect him untill round 3 at the soonest. Melandri's shrink couldn't be reached for comment

I heard about the test but not the twenty five laps bit. Maybe he should cut down on the ice racing and other extreme sports if his shoulder is truly messed up

guess we'll know the score when he hits Sepang eh?

Summary of this weekends tests: checa is fast as fuck. Liberty guys are behind him, max is running the number 1 plate. Vermin out, sykes and lascorz are taking turns sniffing at sixth and johnny rea's blade caught fire forcing him to ditch at 130, possible broken wrist, possibly missing pi. Bmw and pedercini in the back. Camier didn't test due to illness

So it isnt just Aprilia Cubes that send riders down in flames? I hate that for Rea, he has been one of my favorites. I can't wait to see what up in 2011...

I believe haslams zook turned into a mobile bbq last year as well. I really think johnny is held back by ten kate, really a shame he is brand loyal to a fault. Then again, it sounds like hrc might have a future berth for him in gp
