yeah, I saw that... apparently he's been out on a 600 lol

That must be like a supercar driver hopping in a swift..

I know what it feels like to go from the zx14 to a "normal" sports tourer.. goes from "sheet that happened a bit quick" to "yawn.. when will I get to the next corner.. ever?" (and thats riding like a slow old man..)

He has been photographed riding a bike, that it's a 600 is a bit underwhelming. Training on a CBR1000RR would be a bit complicated though. Contracted riders aren't allowed to practice on a GP bike, a litre bike would need to be inspected and approved. As was the R1 Rossi used for a time when coming back from injury.

The big shock could be going from a 600 to the RC213V.

I think it was primarily just to make sure that riding and wearing helmets etc wouldnt cause him issues.. maybe?

Interesting to see that Moto3 has been scheduled to run last in each round of sessions at COTA.
I wonder what that is all about.
Moto2, MotoGP, Moto3 each round.
I can't think of any particular good reason.
TV timing in Europe perhaps?

The Crash guys were saying some bike (particularly Yamaha) were struggling with the amount of rubber that the moto 2/3 bikes were laying down.. loss of traction. So maybe thats why? I havent heard anything else in my perusing of podcasts

Let us see if Aliex can keep up the Momentum.
Wouldn't that be a story if Aprilia could win the championship

Plus Couple of MM Articles
Never heard him mention the word scared before but I guess Crashing badly will do that.
The toll is starting to show. I hope he goes ok this weekend.

yeah i just wnt to see him ride a little conservatively this time,even though it is Austin. Check out the vision and get a few more ks on the bike without pushing 110 percent

Pretty sure that's the way it's been for a while at COTA, it's one of the oddities about it. There's a few rounds they do it at to match up with TV slots etc I think...

I think its stupid they don't run the same order in practice to give the engineers accurate data (have for a long time) as it was one of Mavericks weak points that he couldn't overcome.

[iYRe]

Interesting point, I think they said that there isnt a rider that hasnt had at least a podium in this current field and that has not happened before.. or at least no one can remember it happening

[roogazza]

So no Aliens anymore (if #93 has done his dash ?).
Might be a season where everyone wins one and then scrabble for points by years end?

Oh well, I need another coffee, I liked the old GP's with decent tyres and stand out Aliens.

[F5 Dave]

Sounds like a New Age school. Everyone gets an achievement award.

. . . maybe they are all aliens?

Keith from Crash.net seemed to be suggesting they were all, if not aliens, pretty damn close

I Dunn be standin in ma corn field, with my tongue hangin out gazing at the stars having dropped my flagon of hooch, when I saw a bright light. . . .
