    Nice slo-mo video from COTA, well worth a watch. It's hard to spot the subtle finesse in a bike blasting past at redline but this clip shows just that:

    Check out the stability on the rumble strip at 1:04 and 1:14 bike is barely moving that's some set suspension right there aye.

    Though of course to the rider the bike will feel upset (relatively speaking of course)

    here's the above vid embedded, judging by misterD's mobile video link I wonder if he's posting from a phone

    Just in case he doesn't do so well this year I see Rossi has got himself a Cafe to retire to in Alexandra where he'll be able to serve a burger, chips and a milkshake to Jantar. That's the current kind of food there at the moment, maybe once he becomes the chef he'll add pasta, pizza and bolognese to the menu.

    marquez is scary....i am damn sure in free practise 1 and 2 he is just playing around..he is doing deliberate "stoppies" int the corner at the end of the straight!

    I'd rather see Dovi rub his nose in it. If anyone is winning on a Ducati it's him.

    Be good to see him take that extra step P. But he so far seems to be a better qualifyer.
    I haven't looked to see if does consistant good laps or just a couple when it matters ?

    Bugger it, I'm off for a ride. (showers and all).

    they have made the qualifying exciting with the new format..and the 15min seems damn short.....but that all means nothing heading into the first corner of the race....so the crashes during Q2 make me wonder if it is worth the risk?

    Bloody hell what a session

    Just watched moto GP Q2. Jeepers was Crutchlow manhandling that bike before he fell off.
    MM improved, Rossi down, Pedro down damn exciting

    Gotta go do some work before I watch the main qualifying sessions later but Lorenzo spectacularly fast and smooth cant help but be impressed.

    Whats with 40 euro for multi screen bastards, thought we had that in the bundle when we first paid the $99 ????
    BTW with the new format where are the markers gone on the timeline??

    Some of the sessions play in the multi screen player, some in the standard player. Very strange.
    At least they have added the video quality setting to the multi screen player now.
