    So apparently Dani's tyres were poos and Mitchie are investigating, you know that when Dani destroys a front tyre something is not right. Could see he was struggling big time. They're getting there slowly but it seems the teething issues will continue for a wee while longer. Lots of lap records getting smashed though so they clearly are a good tyre.

    I know what I'd rather have ! But to be fair the weather has been all over the place.

    its been an unbeileiable year as far as the race results go,but when results change because of trye problems thats not so good.Becomes a bit of a lottery if the tyres are an unknown quantity

    Michelin need to improve their consistency. But tyre variability is also a factor in other motorsport such as F1, just not to the same extent.

    I suspect the main factor in improving the competition is the control ECU. Rossi was talking about the rear spinning up late in the race. Last year the electronics would have controlled that for him.

    I wonder what the odds are for MV being world champion next year? Slightly less than on Saturday I expect.

    Does anybody else have trouble stringing a sentence together after watching moto 3?

    I dunno cause the cunts didn't air it lol.

    MV will be world champ next year I think, but he's got the old boys club to beat who wont take kindly to him intruding on their alien club lol.

    Though I am quite excited at the prospect of Rins on a competitive Suzuki

    Indeed. That race showed why Moto3 is the best racing of the lot. Drama, agony, ecstasy and a Saffa with six thousand teeth.
    The best way to forget all your troubles is to wear tight underpants.

    Yeah, the expression "biting off more than he can chew" has never sprung to mind.

    It's hard enough for me to watch this season unfold, never mind contemplate 2017. At one point in the race I had the distinct impression that Rossi was having a really good look at how MV rides the Suzuki. He's not afraid to contemplate 2017.

    I find MVs style interesting as he isn't afraid to move about on the bike mid corner (last time I checked anyways). Most riders are set up for the corner even before their knee hits the ground.
    Rossi has also commented in the past that MV "does not close the throttle". So he's clearly sizing him up.
    Gunna be interesting indeed!
