    The order is a bridge too far for me though there will be much cheering at my place if Dovi gets the win.
    Barring rain or Crazy Joe cleaning both he and Dovi out, I'd say nothing will beat the Ducati's there. MM may be an outside chance, but he's actually racing smart this year and has his eyes on title #3. Good boy.


    Dovi and Crazy Joe are both paying $3.25. Bet your house on it.

    Lorenzo DNF


    If you can make it on Kiwibiker you can make it anywhere.

    Apparently Lorenzo is still wrestling with his demons as is Pedrosa. One of the pundits, can't remember who, said that they both have similar but different problems. Neither can get heat into the tyres; Pedrosa's problems stem from his riding style, Lorenzo's are more set-up related.

    At the test the air temperature was in the 30s the track temp mid 40s. The morning temps Friday were half that. The track is among hills, quite scenic but the weather can be fickle.

    Ii is noted that Rossi when posting his customary practice photos does not refer to the track by the official title, "Redbull Ring". I guess it'd be surprising if any of the Monster sponsored riders did.

    It could be confusing but Crutchlow's helmet is pink this time out, in honour of his new daughter Willow.

    There seem to be so many things that arouse your ire.

    Qualifying is on SKY Sport 1, 2400 Hrs tonght. (Both of Mickey's hands pointing at the 12.)

    Race coverage: SKY Sport 2, 8.45PM Sunday.

    Looks like it could be battling of two Ducatis. As long as Iannone don't torpedo down Dovi my money is on them 1st and 2nd finish.

    Looks like Lorenzo did pretty good.


    If you can make it on Kiwibiker you can make it anywhere.

    Apparently MM dislocated his shoulder. he popped it back and had it strapped but it might be bloody sore tomorrow.

    Turns out that he also received a blow to the head. He was taken to hospital by ambulance for a check but says he hopes to be ready for qualifying.

    Just watched it a couple of times. Wouldn't be surprised if there was some kind of electronic/mechanical/setup whoopsie there. Or is it just that michelins are still shit?
