I know its only FP1 but Crutchlow is showing his braking ability,not and Bradley Smith found something,then lost it again pfft
13 and 14th respectively...... sorry, had to.

[ellipsis]

...Pedrosa is showing a bit of braking here...

[ecko_nzed]

Mean as stoppie

They are using the new big carbon discs. The braking force must be really something. Marquez caliper became detached as he approached a corner at speed only to find he had no brakes so he bailed before he hit the wall.

According to the telemetry Pedrosa had the back wheel in the air for 130m at one point. Some stoppie.

Must remember to set the recorder but the sun is shining so it's a bike riding day

Where did you read his calliper became detached dude? his brakes not working was caused by a tank slapper prior which kicked his pads back into the calliper giving him no brakes.

Ummm dunno. I'm often reading this stuff at 2 or 3 in the morning, and just after I read about the crash there was a picture of a disc with no calliper. It's quite possible I added 2 + 2 and got 10? There have been about 1500 messages since so I sure ain't going back to check.

We now know who is to be Reddings crew chief, it's Chris Pike who has been with Johnny Rea in SBK so he's known to Honda. Redding says the lack of MotoGP experience should not present a problem and gives Rossi's crew chief Galbusera(sp?) as an example.

Yeh was a good race right through. Congrats to MM he's the best out there atm

I think JL will be second, Rossi third then Pedro.

If so i reckon its a true reflection of the speed of the riders this year.

[puddytat]

Moto3 was the race of the day again I reckon.....the winner of that race will be the champ this year too....

Unless Dani sorts out his race starts that may very well be the outcome, he's dropping back behind the Ducati's then having to work extra hard to get by them almost every race. Who has had the most podiums this season out of Dani, Jorge and Vale?

Moto3 was excellent, great to see Miller going hard for the win, apparently he grabbed neutral which ran him wide, he certainly wasn't hesitating to stick it to young Alex though which is what he needs to do to grab the title. Such a hard class to pick a winner in with so many riders on winning pace. Go Miller for the title though, I couldn't stand to hear the commentators wanking on about "the first time ever" brothers have won GP titles in the same year...
