Thanks! Must say, that was one of the classiest race wins I've ever seen.

Hey cut that out, don't want to start agreeing with you too much.

So it wasn't a great strategy call, mostly luck. And the ability to get heat into slicks on an almost nonexistent dry line! I doubt that any other rider could have got those tyres working like Marquez did.

But some care is needed. Seemingly random posts sent after midnight, around the time of a full moon, can ummm create an impression(?).

I read where yamaha camp moaning and saying the honda pushs its front end that,s why has advantage of getting tires up to temp

crikey talk about weak excuse . whats with that crazy joe seemed to kick out with his foot into another rider when left the pits

what a dick .also rossi was saying was mistake to go to inter tires he just chouldint get going so that was more of a mistake
from the team not him i guess . was a cool race to watch . the moto 2 was crazy all those crashes .

Seems we're in F1 tyre territory now with everyone talking about getting heat into the tyres. That seems to be the problem with the Michelin fronts - no feel when cold.

Assen was a mess with the 2 races but this one will go in the Marquez highlights reel!

The Bridgestones didn't work when cold either. Remember a few years back when Rossi slowed for bit, then when he went back to race pace the bike spat him off and he broke his leg. There was also an occasion at Phillip Island with the wind seemingly coming straight from the Antarctic, the Bridgestones couldn't get up to temp and the riders were all complaining it was dangerous.

Not sure about race day, but this last weekend there were a lot of crashes in practice due to the low temperatures. The pundits were saying that Michelin had brought the right tyres but the conditions were unexpectedly cold. Too warm they won't last, too cold they won't work; it would seem there is a fairly restricted performance envelope for race tyres.

And you still occasionally come across someone on KB who is using race tyres on a road bike. Good luck with that!

Where can I get race tyres for the Scorpio? Today looks perfect for them.

Seriously, i remember this Aussie bloke who was quite good at getting warmth into the tyres. Perhaps Yamaha should get him.

PS: to the Firefox/Kiwibiker spelling checker, yes I do mean "tyres".

Looked to me that Crutchlow did the same when he passed one of the satellite dukes ...

They are getting a real Spanish rider next year, so that could be interesting. Something tells me Vinales isn't going to like the current M1. It took Rossi a year and supposedly hours of study of Lorenzo's lap data before he could get any speed out of it.
