Alex Briggs (team 46) commented on the weather at LeMans, he was cold all day except when he burned himself on a hot brake disc.
He also wrote, "LeMans has not given us much love yet. On paper we are not great, but luckily we don't race on paper."
Which is true, but giving Marquez a head start would seem to be doing things the hard way.
Rain interrupted qualifying in Moto3 very early on resulting in a very strange looking grid. Danny Kent, winner of the last three races, starts from 30th IIRC.
Be interesting to watch how he deals with that.
There was also an incident during CEV Moto3 practice/qualifying where the session was "red flagged" but few or no red flags were in evidence resulting in a group of riders traveling full pace suddenly finding the safety car on the racing line. Somebody needs to lift their game.

Of an enviable height
That MM fella.... it's like he's cybernetically enhanced or something. Potters around ('continually testing the limits' the commentators reckon) and then bangs a lap half a second faster than anything before.
JL equals it or near enough...
MM drops another half second.
Gonna be an interesting race for sure, and it bodes ill for VR's championship prospects so far

Apparently Lorenzo had a broken sensor on the bike. You could see him on pit exit messing around with the settings and gear lever. FWIW.

About 12 hours.

All the top Honda guys had front end issues.... maybe it's no longer the best bike on the grid?

He has just won two in a row so it can't be too long...
I thought Hayden looked almost embarrassed to be standing in parc ferme as top production bike. He used to get in there 'cause he was on the podium.

Enigma
Rossi from the third row again, legend. Horhay in the groove.
Buttercup had no answer for MM and Crazy joe when the going got serious. But slotted into 6th .
CC, bwaaaaa !
MM certainly gets the fire going at times,kamakasi like !
Must be keen,stayed up for the 3 races.
You'd never go hungry with Nigella Gaz.
If it weren't for flashbacks...I'd have no memory at all..

Was impressed by Danny Kent - again. Started 31st on the grid, made it through the field to the lead group, joined the scrap then backed off. At that point he would have presumably used more tyre than the other three.
He would have been unaware that his two closest challengers for the championship had gone down, but his pit board had told him fourth was OK. All in all it was a display of both speed and brains. That combination can win championships.
