Yeah but it only show's him doing one lap.

[tail_end_charlie]

Which brings us back to - why Ben and not Jorge?

Shhhhh, questions like that cause conspiracy theories. Everyone knows that it is all Ben's fault, he's obviously sabotaged himself so that he can blame his suckyness on Yamaha.

[denill]

Yeah but it only show's him doing one lap.

Yeah, you're right.

Did they take his bike off him?

[Crasherfromwayback]

Yeah, you're right.

Did they take his bike off him?

lol. Maybe the subframe broke/it chunked a tyre/swingarm broke/blew up.

[BMWST?]

Which brings us back to - why Ben and not Jorge?

Maybe Spies did an extra practice start compared to Lorenzo. It's often all it takes.

and the fact that Ben is prolly one of the heaviest These are finely balanced machines there is little to come and go on.I get the feeling that Ben is hard on his equipment,not dissin ,some people just are...And racing bikes arent to sympathetic to that treatment(my theory anyway)

Yeah maybe. Some people have a knack of fucking things others never would/do for sure.

He hasn't hit a bird at 200+kph yet ....

[GD66]

True. If anyone's running a book, stick me down for $10 on Spies nailing a Cape Barren Goose at Phillip Island...

[Crasherfromwayback]

Give him time. It'll be black.

My god, such an amazing weekend!!

I thought the racing in all classes was good! Rookies included

Booked with pole position and went to their opening party on the Friday where they had charity auction. I was regretting my decision not to go VIP, it's so good! Anyway they were auctioning off paddock passes with a tour of cals pit (they sponsor him) he was actually supposed to be there as a guest speaker but was jet-lagged

Anyway I yelled out could they do one and was talking to the owner and he said he had a paddock pass left I could pay half what they did

So anyway I was a guest of the ongetta team who have Jakub kornfeil as one of their riders so got to hang out in their little hospitality tent eating and swanning in and out to get beers

Saturday I managed to watch free practice from the pit lane from Salom and binders pit then managed to get a photo with Pedro (who wasn't as stoked as I was from the look on his face!) was at the gresini pit for qualifying as gordon the ppt guy was taking some gresini hospitality guys there there but one of the organisers for gresini took me too, he said I could come again tomorrow!!
Oh and a tour of cals put from his dad, but he wasn't there, I felt sorry for the guys who had brought the tickets they didn't even get a photo with him!! Kinda made me more not a fan, (though he is riding well for sure) the ppt are sponsors of his!

Sat night rounded off at the brewery where my adopted Norwegian mumma (who was straight up crazy) got burgess's signature

Sunday was an early start, I watched moto3 warm up from the service lane around the track
Went to the pits before gp warm up and along with another chic accosted Lorenzo as he came out for a photo.
Then managed to get in the gresini pit again! They have the best screens with timing break downs, afterwards photos of the bikes being pulled apart and de brief of Bautista

Was stoked to see Jakub do so well in the race but a bit sad he missed the podium, he is a cutie. Got to chat to some of the moto3 kids, salom is funny, brad binder is a cute sweet kid.

Moto2 was good racing! They don't sound too bad in the flesh

Managed to get back into the gresini pit for the race where the organizer took me out to the pit wall during the race, I can't believe how loud they are even with head phones!
Last laps were great!
Then to Prac ferme and the podium!
What madness!!!!!!

Finished with a beer a lie down then the party at a club there where som of the riders and crew were there too and danced and drank too much!

I can see why they call it a circus

Pics to come
