    Simoncelli was paying $50.00 at the TAB before this session. The Island is Phillip, Phillip doesn't own it.

    Avalon BIDDLE NZL Avalon Biddle Racing Honda 199.6 1'51.436 12.631 / 5.246

    watching progress with interest - her top speed is miles off the rest for some reason?

    Most likely because her bike didn't cost 50k+ like the rest of the bikes on the grid. Basically a stock honda RS125 with a few aftermarket parts thrown at it I believe. Looking like she will struggle to qualify for the gp (within 107% of the leader), hopefully they can find some time overnight. I think she will need to get down to around 1:45 to qualify.

    Come on Av, 3 seconds is a big ask. Hope Keith has brought a magic wand over with him.
    What an awesome experience.

    Did anyone else see Marquez rear end the other poor sap? Lucky he didn't kill them both. What a dork

    Might want to try 6s. In the last session the cutoff was 1.45.6 but the leader is most likely to get into the 1.37's in qualifying so that would mean a sub 1.45 lap to qualify. It's a massive task so fingers crossed for tomorrow!

    Yes, unfortunately Av is about 6s off qualifying. Sad to say, but the bike is simply not going to be fast enough.
    But as said, just being there is part of the dream.
    Go hard anyway Av.

    Hard to fathom WTF he was thinking there.

    Lorenzo's bike looks a bit of a handful at the moment.

    Ah right, bit of a bugger. It'd be interesting to see what sort of times she could post up if someone gave her an Aspar bike for a few laps.

    At the very least, just being out there must be the shizz-fucking-nitz. Good on her.

    He's extremely lucky that's all he got. Could've easily got a wheelchair or worse. For both of them. Dopey Cunt.

    I have said it before the guy is a moron and needs a kick in the balls. That was PHAAAAAAAAARKN dangerous and very very stupid what he done. Bit like drunk drivers he is ok and the poor bugger he hit is not so good.
