Man, that track is huge! If you’ve got a spare 7 minutes, you can ride along with Hector Barbera as he does his track reconnaissance.

holy crap look at the size of it! you can really see it at the hairpin, one end of the track disappears to the left and the other stretches out to the right

Typical American thought process: "Bigger is better!" ..............................and then of course, everything is bigger in Texas.

Looks like a pretty sweet track, too bad it sounds like there is fuck all chance there will ever be any trackdays that anyone other than rich oil tycoons could afford.

MM fastest in both sessions so far...

Maybe they should have built a shitty goat track like Pukekohe instead...
Maybe wait for the riders comments after the raceing is done before bagging it.

did honda sponsor this track or something..

if the waterlogged Yamaha team can't find a solution to the "grip into corner problem", than my pick is Pedrosa will want to establish his place in the honda team and will take MM out with a wildly dangerous passing manoeuvre....leaving Jorge to ride into first....you heard it here first....

............I did notice a lot of Repsol banners around some turns.........................

It's certainly an awesome looking track from what I've seen of it so far. May have to go there one year.

Reckon.

Fair enough then. I hope it is a good weekend. On live here, no SkyTV to balls it up.

The commentators were saying that the organisers almost begged the riders to be careful in turn 1 on the first lap.

Of course saying something like that to these guys might be rather hopeful. If someone does have a rush of mud to the brain it could cause carnage.

Almost inciting trouble. No doubt some cunt will think that's his chance to overtake 5 or 6 others because they'll be taking it easy!

He's got to catch him first? In fact they all do?
Mind you if I remember rightly last race he was leading everything in the early seasons until things got serious? Might be the way things are all season? We shall see what happens over qualifying.

if it goes to plan MM will win with Jorge third..meaning the championship is equal on points....but than there is Rossi...maybe Bradl......(all assuming Pedrosa is second)...that would OK for Yamaha on a track they clearly struggle against the honda...of course if my premonition is correct it could be even better...
