And the Ducati has sprouted more winglets: two sets each side now. Actually the new winglets are in two seperate parts, so depending how you count them there could already be three sets. That's more wings than anybody since the Red Baron.

Any more and the riders will need a pilots licence.

Front row now this is going to be interesting if there was something Rossi hasn't done well lately its qualifying.
It looks like Jorge going to have to actually Race Rossi

Yea man, it is going to be a awesome Race, as long as Vr gets away well, which he normally does. The Suzuki top speed is impressing me, near on identical to the Yamaha's

Suzukis and Ducati have a bit of an concession advantage with the fuel and the soft softs Suzuki plus (Aprilia)and electronics and open during season engine development there though

I know that dude, but this is Suzuki's 1st season back, and Ducati are a FULL FACTORY team with loads of time on track, they should not have ever been allowed the concession I say

yeah but its based on the results as they haven't achieved them over the last couple of years to tell you the truth the actual worst thing they could for next season do is actually win a race this year. Sad but true.
Pretty sure they even had Soft softs last year.

Well sometimes my memory ain't what it was - but I can't remember a better Q2 than that.

Rossi was worried about the Ducs getting between him and Lorenzo. He went about ensuring that they didn't in the best possible way. Twice this year in Q2, when worried, he has headed out on track right at the head of the field. Twice it has served him well. Why doesn't he do that every time? Who fucking knows?

I'm not picking a finishing order. When I pick somebody their career goes into decline.

Don't believe me? My MCN fantasy team this year included Marquez, Sykes, and Byrne. All Champions last year. Two of the three other riders in my team lost their rides. In the light of all that I'm reluctant to make any predictions. Just hoping for a good race.

Yes true again, but, still bloody wrong! Ducati manager just used the rules to there benefit and good on kinda for that. But I call it a weasels trick really, kinda like a king hit, rather than a punch to the face. They are Factory! Simple as that

Yeah that was very exciting & we are in for a very interesting day of racing tomorrow.
I wonder how D'angelis is doing....fingers crossed. Smith was lucky with that second off, was doing well over 200

I am picking because he is so old compared to others for a start, and needs to find that last % of hunger in is heart to commit like is necessary to perform at that level at the top. He obviously 100% wants that 10th title, and I say he is going to be 2015 Champion mate, unless MM fuks up and takes him out by trying to hard again, but doubt that will happen in Japan, as MM MUST at least finish this race in Japan for Honda.

Suzuki for a top 5
