MotoGP 2016

[EJK]

Latest forecast is for wind and rain (surprise) for Saturday and breezy and fine-ish for Sunday.

Place your bets now folks...

Lorenzo DNF

[pritch]

Maybe not the sharpest knife in the drawer...

Yeah. When he realised he was locked out they checked with Porsche but the factory couldn't/wouldn't help. Maybe the factory suggested that approach?
Fairly dramatic though.

Stubid high priced cars geez whats the use getting into the car if you cant start it .maybe he was just shitty about something.

Like have bloody german car ;-)

He seems to be on a roll maybe really pumping himself up as some do . makes the descion to drop look bit off really.

A hard charger race winner with a proven world champion seems great move to motivate both .athough dovi is proven

Great steady hand and can poduim and has good devolpment knowledge . pity cant run all of them

Alex Lowes will replace the injured Bradley Smith on Tech 3 bikes at Sliverstone.

While that is good news for Lowes if not for Smith, this can only be described as sad news:

Nasty i got a link to article on kenny Roberts and what a thing to have to do that on a son crikey poor kenny r snr

That's not fucking news, sad or otherwise. It's a famity having problems, and no one's business but the family and the court.

Well done continuing gossip and conjecture, for nothing more than sick entertainment.

So true mate so true been there been through sooo much that last 4 year,s and on one family conflict 15 years previous

Latter resovled many years latter to my ever greatfull relief. the former who knows 2 years on hopefull but not expecting.

I let the dust settle and dont speak about it anyone . well not actually true people bring up with me. i dont let my emotions out. block it out.

Just had to let it go is the best other wise eat you alive over time resentments not worth it. or angry feelings.


keep my head down get on with life . am not saying am a better man just have to protect myself.

Family matter,s left to familys. and senor members dont put on the younger members there issues.

MY motto only everone got there own ways.

So the rain finally arrived during FP4 and the fun began...

Then it decided to piss down during Qualifying, well done CC he certainly understood the conditions
and nailed the number 1 spot , VR managed a good No2 with MV taking the final position on the front
row.

All 12 riders put on a bloody good show it must be said , a lot of riders have greatly improved in the
wet.

Now we wait and see which weather shows up on race day.

[Kendog]

These results are making Nick Harris more annoying than normal.

[Kornholio]

Looks ok for a dry race..... http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/public/w...ime=1472947200

When I looked at the grid positions the thought occurred that if the track is dry for the race, the first couple of laps could be eventful. Fast riders down the grid will be trying to restore the natural order as they see it.

Pity Miller didn't complete his lap, that would've made it even more interesting.

Alex Lowe should be enjoying himself

Forecast for Sunday:
Early showers should ease, with sunny spells soon developing. However further showers are likely during the afternoon, perhaps turning heavy at times. Staying rather breezy throughout. Maximum Temperature 20 °C.

Which looks like one of those BBC forecasts which mentions every possibliity without specifically predicting any one.

.

Laverty was the one that would've got pole had he not binned it on his flying lap! If it rains...he may be worth a dabble. ($101.00)

[Dadpole]

I love the way this season is full of uncertainty. Trying to pick the top 3 can do your head in.

My picks - for what they are worth:

Lorenzo. Looks more like his old self. Fast and smooth during practice.
Rossi. He has the speed and needs to be at the pointy end more than ever.
Crutchlow. I expect a 100% effort from him today ending on the podium or (more likely) into the gravel. In the event of a gravel trip then Vinales.


PS. Maria Herrera qualified in 13th in Moto3. It would be good to see her running in the front bunch.
