Yeah, as he's my possible Rossi replacement when Rossi retires (find it hard to watch sport unless I'm a mad fan of someone - get bored, otherwise) when he got pushed back at the start, I was like you! I was thinking...mmmm, well, you're showing some verypromising signs... are you gonna do a Rossi and get to the front? And he did! Pretty impressive ride from him.

A few laps longer for the race... he prob would have gotten second...

He's such a laugh when he's getting interviewed... always puffed and dizzy, confused... his english is a laugh... the roman accent is funny, too. I find his italian easier to understand than Rossi's. (UNderstand perhaps wrong word... I pick up more of what Marco is saying than Valentino.)

He's not as confident as Rossi, but he's a real sweetie and a cutie. And heart of a tiger for racing. Really hope he gets to the top... a great ride in 250s this year might mean a motogp ride REALLY soon. He can serve it to KC, Jorge and Dani!

is it right he is on a list of six to replace Colin?

I honestly don't know but if he was it would be a little bit too fast, he just moved to the 250s this season and it would be rather impatient to have him move up to the top class so soon...

This is Marco's 3rd year in 250 , he wasn't so competitive the past 2, higher end of the midfield.

I started this year as an ardent bautista fan was even going to buy a t-shirt but..... now I love simoncelli. In Jerez my husband neary ran on track and punched him as he thought he was riding too close to bautisa and was the reason he crashed - he had to be calmed down by some spanish fans - how we hated him. But a few races down the line and now we are both on the side of simoncelli we love him - where can we buy a t-shirt. He is a brilliant rider he takes risks, as does rossi, and he is never ever boring. All I ask if that he cuts his hair and plucks his eyebrows - not much to ask really!!!

is he really? well, this is the last time i am listening to the commentators without doing research on my own Thanks Tomy I feel rather stupid now

Haha, we seem to have too fractions here: the lion mane and untamed eybrows ones and the ones who want him to be all groomed...

I certainly am part of the first group!!! Please don't cut your hair, Marco, a slight trim maiybe but always remember what happened to Samson when Delilah had her go at his hair

I dont like Marco S. (sorry for everyone who liked him),and his hair looks so *****

rossi ha

ROFL


No need to be sorry, thank goodness we don't all have the same taste... usually

Nooooo, there will be NO plucking of eyebrows! Hair trim, sure... though I do think the eccentric haircut gives him personality... ok, bit of a dud on the hotness front, but like I said, gives him personality. But I draw the line at touching the eyebrows! He does that and it's all over, I tell you! Ivonne and myself are one on that!

ALvara is a big girl's blouse... such a nancy.
