MotoGP 2013

just read crutchlows comments on their bike issues this weekend....I have no idea why poms are known for moaning about stuff...

Every angle I've seen has me believing Jorge would of know MM was there and he then took too little to late action. End off imho.

Exactly suglite, and Mike Webb has it right. I didn't see Mike make comparison to other laps of the race as others above have said, he compared it to free practice laps and not even to qualifying laps.

Did anyone else here just watch FP3? MM smoked them...and there was some unreal slowmo replays man. The guy is a freak.

MM again takes pole...very close though....Dovi takes third....Rossi eight.......Pedrosa crashes.....weather might be changable.....can't wait for the race....

[merv]

Dovi is doing well lol.

[cmoore]

he has and i'm sure all the ducati people will love it...but as we all know a one off lap doesn't mean a lot in the race...but if it rains...than he has every chance

[BMWST?]

i am beginning to think that dovi and his team are very good at setting up a bike,and that maybe rossi and Burgess arent as good as we thought.Perhaps the M1 wasnt such a dog when he actually got his hands on it.

The Ducati team people say that the Ducati is at less of a disadvantage at LeMans because of the slower corners. Still, Dovi did good and the team initially looked to be in shock at his time.

Rossi won't just be pissed off at being on the third row after a promising start to the weekend, he'll be pissed off about Dovi being on the front row. Hope he can clear all of that out of his head before the start.

Now we just have to wait and see what the weather brings.

I want to see Rossi win this season because I reckon he's still got a few wins in him yet. But I want to see Dovi win a race this season even more

I don't think Vale is a wet race specialist - it was more like, a wet race allowed the Ducati and Vale get on even terms with the rest of the field.

If Dovi beats Rossi just once this year...to me...the whole Rossi is the best/goat/man whatever will go up in a huge puff of smoke.

I dunno. Did Rossi ever put the Ducati in front of Dovi on the Honda?

Rossi finished 2nd at Le Mans last year in the wet so beat a lot of people. But that's hardly the point. In 2011 when Dovi was Honda mounted he seriously handed Rossi his arse on a plate. Next question.

[Reckless]

Maybe Rossi just don't have it no more, its lookin that way so far? The rain might be an advantage for him??

Most impressed with Crutchlow, dumped on his ass in a big way, can't walk that well and he qualifies 4th.
Mind you if he doesn't start staying upright from here on in he'll stuff his season?

Between the crashes and the surprise Ducati's the qualifying is damn near as exciting as the racing

I'm just trying to keep some perspective. Rossi is handing it to Dovi so far this year too.

The Ducati is the problem obviously. Stoner was the only guy that could ride the thing.
