Amazon and Play.com both seem to stock it on R2.

So how do the conspiracy theorists explain poor old Rico's performance today then? Post Gp-itis perhaps?

Aha..thats just the sort of thing I was looking for! Thanks Sube.

Could any of our continental members points me in the direction of the Czecho Extraleague fixtures for this season? Either to a website that has them or perhaps list them here? Any info would be much appreciated.

Some great racing tonight. Nicki P deserved the win - was cheering him on bigtime in that last race- and Gollob looked like the Tomasz of old. Disappointment of the night was Bjarne - thought he looked well out of it - still Anton had a good one - some great switches off that 2nd bend. Felt gutted for Adams - what a sickener. If the other GPs are like this one I'll be happy. Couldn't give a rat's wotsit who wins it this year though...

Agree with Honey...I thought Anton had crossed it too in one race, but as Steve, pretty much everyone was doing it and there was so much chalkdust you couldn't tell who was on the track or off it.

Merchandise and stuff is on sale from the morning outside the stadium so you could do like a lot of people and head to get any stuff you want before the afternoon when it gets really manic there. I'd say make sure you're in Cardiff city centre from midday onwards - the atmosphere really starts to build. Get yourself to one of the pubs - the forum local is the Prince of Wales and you'll find plenty of us there. You'd be surprised who you'll see. What time you get to the stadium depends on whether you want to see Bonnie Tyler I guess. Whatever though, just have a great day - there's no other event like it. Are the U15s doing a few races this year? If so I hope that it's after the music and not before only I missed it last time.

M30-something just off the exit to the 2nd bend. Front row. No idea where exactly and I can't find the email confirmation. Just look out for the Poole Tourism flag - its unmissable - purple and pink - my favourite.

Nope...it was just an open meeting.

Nice to see that AJ has so quickly recovered from that bout of flu that's kept him from riding from Arena for the last couple of weeks and from turning up yesterday.

I've just had a case of deja vu Tabby with part of that post Tabby.

Great news for KK. I know he was exceptionally disappointed with his performance the last time he was given a wild card - think first night nerves got the better of him! His British form at least has carried on from where he left off last year, so hopefully we'll get to see that sort of scoring this time! He is the World U21 Champion (however dodgy the outcome of that meeting was) so it was always likely he would get one of the places. I can't see that the FIM are likely to turn him down. Maybe Kolodziej will get the nod for the other Polish GP?

Nah..that was Meatloaf that sang that...not Bonnie Tyler!

Now you really are scraping the barrel! I can see a long session at the PoW looming. My poor head...and wallet!

Sorry Grachan...but unless it's a goth, prog or any other type of rock genre...it's lost on me. How about Pagan's mind...or Magenta maybe - they're Welsh damnit..I think. Who's playing The Point on the pre-GP Friday night though...that's the question?! Speedway at Newport followed by a gig - that's part of a GP weekend!

Oh hell...it gets worse! SCB..you're looking attractive the way these suggestions are going!

You'd have enjoyed an empty stadium...or Budgie?

I know *hangs her head in shame* Oh to have a credible metal act at the GP. Live in hope!

You've totally eclipsed me with that one mate.

Lol...it even appears on her tour dates on her official site. Think a new CD or something is coming out in April so something to plug. My God...why am i even admitting to having looked this up. Any shred of credibility I ever had has just vanished. Anyone staying later than 6pm in the PoW - it's looking a good option at the moment.

For Norway - Ingar Hvamstad. And Olli Tyravainen (sp) for Finland.

SL - you've cancelled already so fair play. It's your choice at the end of the day and I'm sure you'll have as good a time following your team on those other trips you take instead. My comments (and that's all they are) about cancelling late is that they deprive others who might be prepared to pay the chance of a room and whether making the stand is fair on those other people. Sure people don't like paying extra but its always the debate about how much you want a 'service' against value for money. For me and many others, they're prepared to pay the premuim rate for the convenience of having to travel back. And let's face it, with certain chains you kinda know what you're getting - we're not talking some Fawlty Towers establishment and if a PTI isn't up to scratch then that is more a sleight on that chain than anything else (I stay in the Holiday Inn Express in Cardiff and know the standard I'm paying for premium or not). It is just my opinion and I know others won't agree with me. It's just throwing it out there for consideration that's all.

As I've posted on the other Cardiff accomodation thread I don't agree with that. It might make you feel better, but some poor souls out there who would like to stay for the GP and don't object to paying the prices on offer will lose out as you make your point. They might get lucky if they try at the last minute but most will probably have given it up as a bad idea. I'm lucky - I've got my room booked (and yes it's gone up but what the heck) but I think I'd be pretty narked if I really had wanted to stay in Cardiff but had found all the hotels i wanted to stay in booked up and read this thread that some people were holding onto rooms just to dip out at the last minute just because they didn't agree with what is, a pretty common policy in the hotel industry.

And so some poor fan, who has desperately been trying to get a room but finds that all the hotels are fully booked, and wouldn't object to paying the prices, loses out just so that you can make a point. Hmm, okay.

No that's what I call a track! Looks great fun....and damn cold!
