Candid shots in the paddock.



Paolo Casoli back when he rode "real" bikes. He went on to win the world supersport championship on a Ducati 748 and almost did it again on a Yamaha R6. He's completely changed his look if you haven't seen him lately. I think he probably secured that beautiful wife of his when he looked like this... He sorta looks like a banker or something now...



Evidence that there actually were Japanese riders on Ducatis before Haru Aoki. This is Takahiro Sohwa. Nice guy, but spoke no english, or Italian for that matter! He should have taken lessons from Harada...



Colin Edwards giggles at me a split second after he whacked Jerry Bernardo in the nuts with the gearshift... (And that's Jerry trying to extracate the gearshift from his nuts... Looks like he's straining a bit...)
