Yeah, Beattie was really going places. Did similar end Maggees career too? He was amazing to watch when he was on it.

Anyways, the crash in testing has not seemed to effect MM at all, 1st in free Practice 1 and a close 2nd in free practice 2. The rubber man continues unabated!
Yamahas are doing good too - though watch this space as track temps rise???

The weather forecast is good... for the whole weekend... Sunday fine 23C. Colour me absolutely stunned

Yes Sugi , I seem to recall Magoo bashing his head ? ( And Beattie losing a row of toes in the chain).,

No shark fin I take it?

Looking like most riders are on form. Jack Miller doing better than Petrux again on the GP17. If JL leaves they arw going to have a bit of a conundrum on their hands picking tween the two.

Be an all Yamaha and MM fight for the front 3 then a shit fight between the rest for 4th onwards going off the race pace calculations. DP hip is hurting keeping him away from the front I think

reasonable temperatures and good grip are keeping the factory Yamahas in the hunt.poor electronics(relative) and a newer engine(with underdeveloped(relative) electronics are the factory's achilles heel at the moment.Its why JZ is ahead of the factory at the moment.He has last years engine with known electronics

Suzuki not too flash. Pol was getting a tow for his lap... still impressive... the KTM massive will be getting all a fluster.

Kevin was never the same after he had the incident where he started doing a burnout after a race and it resulted in a crash that ended the career of Bubba Shobert at the USGP
He just got back his confidence and then suffered a head injury the next year.
Beatlie had only just come back after losing the toes when the head injury occurred, He had trouble with vision and concentration and was never the same.
Its a Shame as Kevin Rated him he said the same things to suziki that kevin had after his first test ride about the bike.

Its been a crashfest weekend so far lots of pain all round...

Good qualifying from Petrucci from first in Q1 to 3rd in Q2 behind Marquez and poleman Zarco.

Fucking horrible highside for crashhigh. Hate watching that shit.

Pertrux is upping his game to try n snaffle JLs seat.

The Crutchlow one looked 'orrible from the trackside camera. It really showed the speed and distance he was thrown.

If only he had the carbon fibre swingarm.

He's been decleared fit

Considering the electronic aids there were a lot of crashes - and a lot of near misses.

Next year there are apparently going to be twenty GPs. Some questioned that number but it was pointed out that F1 drivers do twenty with no problem. The F1 drivers though would be in a lot better physical shape than the GP riders, many of whom will be carrying injuries late in the season.

What exactly is Crutchlow made of? Tungsten perhaps?

Crikey, I would think he is now at least partially made up from Asphalt from a whole bunch of race tracks from around the World with the rate he jumps of the bike! Tough bugga though no doubt.

Well, another Lorenzo soft front tyre bolt and fade. Every time he asks his team to put a soft front on, they must be thinking "here we go again". I see Lorenzo is now blaming the shape of the tank for causing him braking woes and thus his backwards drift through the race.
I'm losing faith that Maverick is ever going to get confidant again.
Shame about Zarco, hopefully he will go good on the KTM.
MM just too good this year, he has now grown into a unstoppable force - the complete racer, what a machine.
