I read where a couple of the teams have been practicing in the Alps to help acclimate.

Where did you read this? Smile


If they were smart...
The French & Italian Teams should have hired Fukudome as a guide/trainer and went and climbed Mount Fuji as part of their training/preparation for the MXoN.... Wink

KTM might be since that's the single place on Earth that AC's "350" makes less power than a 450.

Kind of the way James Stewart was faster on a 125 than most guys on 250 smokers and 450's indoors or out? CC's and Horsepower are no match for a rider who has the talent to extract every ounce of speed from his machine. While Cairoli might not do that he's damn close.

Sounds like there is lots of sensitive Vagina's in Italy too.

After next week I suspect some of them may even complain about having sand in them.
