Perhaps Kent has been thrown a lifeline by the Ajo Team, If so, he better grab it with both hands as the comments from his old team would get him the closed door treatment from most teams.

Mr Ajo has a reputation for straightening out wayward lads. Of course he gets them cheap, any earning potential they had having evaporated. Here's hoping he can work his magic again.

Interesting interview with CC.

Lorenzo in second after FP3 and looked like a very happy camper indeed. I have never been a '9-fingers' fan, but I was making encouraging noises during his fast lap and am genuinely pleased to see him showing some form.

[BMWST?]

i am pleased to see JL showing some speed.I dont understand the animosity some show towards him.There are some interesting results there,Tito Rabat mid pack,folger,readding and Zarco right at the top of where they could be.Very impressed at folger and Zarco.Zarco will be mixing it big time soon,and if anyone will get a moto 2 pass again it might be VR again for good measure!

Latest from David Emmett although things have moved on. Rossi may have solved his front end problem again as he went fastest in FP3?.
Well there was a MotoGP Tweet that said he went astest but the results list says fifth.

i am pleased to see JL showing some speed.I dont understand the animosity some show towards him.

Mate...it's pretty easy to fathom. All of the Rossi butt lickers hate his guts because he's shown him up on the Yamaha ever since he's been on one.

[mulletman]

So its an all Honda front row , not much in it tho..biggest surprise to me is Ionnone found his way to the
second row

If there's one rider on the grid who knows the win it or bin it philosophy it's eeaaahhhnoni. He also followed JL all quali for a bit of tow.

Watched the quali live, was some epic looking laps by the Honda boys, loose as fuck!

A lot of Rossi Fan Bois will have to eat some humble pie if JL actually wins a race on the Ducati. May be in trouble by the time they get to Mugello. MM's slide and save on his last qual lap was fucking epic!

I wonder why the cunt feels the need to sound like an Italian.

[BMWST?]

looking at the fp3 numbers is bloody good.If we thought the last couple of seasons have been good i reckon the next couple are going to have some real shake ups.Look how close it all is,on a bad day one of the top boys may be way back,the old ducs,the aprilias,the ktm and of course the zooks are bloody close.The slight inconsistincies of the michelins is also going to be a factor.
