27 degrees apparently! I'll believe it when I see it though.

Go Dani, go JL and GOOOO ROSSIIIII! Old fart needs to win a few more races before DP thrashes them all on the M1 next year with all the Petronas money sitting in his bank account

Why must we wait 2 weeks between races? Torture.

Oh damn.. I just remembered that since 2016, they changed Assen to be held on the Sunday like every other round, not on Saturday. I was looking forward to having a race on my birthday.. Looks like I just missed the boat by a casual 2 years..

Well that weather forecast looks really promising!

Yup sunny and hot MM up to his usual front end slides/saves , FP2 was a good time to try tyre life out amongst
other things - (like a fast time) cause its the same time of day as race day on sunday.

Sky suck dogs shit. No way I'll every support them.

I'll diligently wait for the free summary next week.

Gooooo Rossi. Old bugger needs the career final.

OK but it's a tad late to watch tonight (I'm old). The forecast for tomorrow is bad, guess wot I'm doing tomorrow morning?

$100 on Jack Miller?

Edit just reread what you said. The forecast where you live is bad, not Assen therefore you will be watching qualifying. I is dickhead

The forecast for Assen is still good. Mine is still crap. Forecasts being what they are though, there is nothing to stop it being the other way around. Here's hoping they got it right, although Jack may disagree.

In case it’s raining when you are watching, or for any other reason the circumstances suit, there is the Assen drinking game. Acknowledgements to Admiral Phut

Down a pint at every mention of any of the following:
Cathedral
Circuit ruined
Still one of the best
Used to be on a Saturday

WTF Q2 was that?

[mulletman]

Didnt think the freight train had any of that speed when the cameras were on George and Iannone...

MM looks the man to beat tho, his 1.34s during FP4 on any tyre was telling.

I thought Marquez had really screwed his chance when he was stuck in that group but he still managed to put it on pole. Dragged a motley bunch of chancers along too though. Lorenzo and Zarco were the only ones to ride alone.

Zarco headed the train IIRC.

Mad qualifying session stayed up to watch it and it def kept me awake.
Meanwhile in F1 they are all crying about one guy not giving another one a tow. Pussys.

Anyone see the slow mo of Miller out of the final chicane? Commentators missed it but I think they (Dorna directors) were highlighting how much Miller was mashing the rear brake to keep the front wheel down. Cool to watch and shows that in this day of electronics the riders definitely have a say still.

I would go as far as saying Crafer is now better than Dylan Gray was, mainly on the technical input and the small details he is picking up on that doowwwnnnn in pit Laane Dylan Graaaay didn't seem to add. He may eff up the occasional rider name but so did He Who Must Not Be Named and he'd been doing it alot longer.

Excited for tonight should be another fist fight
