After all, MotoGP is already your favorite Formula 1 driver’s favorite sport (as MotoGP people like to say), which is a way of emphasizing that it’s a competition for true motorsports enthusiasts.

I read an article this morning that said Ducati weren't listening to Bagnia about his complaints about the Duacti shaking, actually blaming him.

Interesting. Shades of when they sent Milandri to a psychologist because he criticised the bike. I thought GiGi had sorted those problems when he told the engineers that the guys in the team were driving the effort and any engineer who could not take direction from team members should look for another job.

Maybe the engineers have reinserted head up arse?

thats insane.Praps they took notice when they actually saw it? Was that Austria that the onboard showed it?

The Marquez's Mrs (both) for a start lol

The Motomatters pre-race report mentioned that the race could be moved to another track in Oz. Surely not, it would be like moving from Mugello.

So Miller is topping FP-1 so far, but AM, Pedro, Fermin and Fabio are close behind. Might be an epic race, it would be fantastic if jack wins... we'll claim that as a kiwi Moto GP win heh

Apparently ole Bags is back in the pits again..

[sugilite:Me]

Bags made it through with the 9th fastest time - but Bez is on another planet. He could win with that pace despite the double long lap penalty!

Hmm
Apparently he loses 5 seconds per long lap. Also he is quite sore.
That may count aginst him in the Race but he could def win the print.
