    Some beautiful race day Scott Jones images up on motomatters.com...

    Direct your query to motogp.com; they're pretty quick at replying — well, within a couple of days anyway. Make sure your browser on the laptop accepts cookies. I've no idea about the smart TV, though, sorry.

    Next up CotA, It was decreed at the recent private practice there that those who did not attend would be at a big disadvantage in terms of track knowledge.
    The times suggested that the track suits the Honda better than the Yamaha, the pundits postulated that this was because of the hairpins requiring more acceleration during a lap than normal, and the Honda seamless gearbox gives them the advantage in this respect.
    Then again, those same pundits said that Pedrosa and Lorenzo had improved over the last two years so as to have advanced beyond Rossi’s level.

    To refresh your memories here are the times from day 1 at CotA:
    1. Marc Mαrquez – Repsol Honda Team – 55 laps – 2’04.619 - photo
    2. Dani Pedrosa – Repsol Honda Team – 59 laps – 2’05.047
    3. Jorge Lorenzo – Yamaha Factory Racing – 54 laps – 2’05.291
    4. Stefan Bradl – LCR Honda MotoGP – 50 laps – 2’06.053
    5. Valentino Rossi – Yamaha Factory Racing – 68 laps – 2’06.507

    Maybe the magicians at Yamaha have come up with something, but we’ll know in a couple of weeks. Barring accidents or incidents I wouldn’t expect George to disappear into the distance quite like he did in Qatar.

    But a Honda might?

    I'd put it on the dwarf at this early stage. Later in the season when Marquez has a bit more experience under his belt it'll definitely swing his way, but at this stage I'd go with Pedro. After all, he's never done well in Qatar, something to do with him being a lightweight on a very dirty surface and it's a layout he doesn't like anyway.

    Nah. Considering MM just handed Pedro his arse on a platter at the very first round...and topped testing times there..I can't bring myself to back him over MM here.

    Pedro is supposed to have a sore neck. I guess that would make the head-down arse-up position they use on the straights uncomfortable.
    With the attentions of the best physios money can buy, two weeks might make a lot of difference?

    Keep an eye on this uTube user. He has in the past posted WorldSBK up on uTube which may give you coverage .. Not live of course ....
