    She's a pretty big straight.

    True JL knows the fast way around Mugello. Rossi won seven straight there but that's almost ancient history, he'll be motivated but he needs to qualify well.

    Iannone has a point to prove, is at home, and he'll be hard out. Maybe too hard?

    Overnight Espagero A said he is not happy about all the conjecture as to whether the second Suzuki rider will be Rins or Zarco, nobody mentions him. Suzuki have not spoken to him about a new contract, and he has told his manager to look at other options. He too will have a point to prove.

    Here's hoping for a good race.

    Back to the future? It was reported overnight that a wall has appeared in the Yamaha garage.

    After Rossi announced he was leaving for Ducati he no longer received new parts. When Lorenzo announced he was leaving, Jarvis made a speech that was all sweetness and light about the riders being treated equally.

    During FP1 Rossi was thought to be testing testing a new clutch. He didn't do a single flying lap, he would do a practice start, ride around and pull back into the pits. This happened six or seven times.

    It's not known yet whether Lorenzo is taking Ramon Forcada, or anybody else, with him to Ducati. So far just one member of the pit crew has announced he is staying with Yamaha.

    Wet track and a fine weekend forecast. Bugger all else to do as they could probably get no other useful data.

Rossi fucked up by coming from too far back, but he was gonna roost Stoner that day.
    regardless of what might have happened he came from too far back and took Stoner out.....the comment made by Stoner was spot on.

    They wouldn't need a wall and secret squirrel stuff in that case. Others were riding, although few wanted to try the Michelin Intermediates. Redding did, and he was leading the timesheets until toward the end of the session.

    Good point Pritch.

    I did see the screen go up but never associated with a secret clutch. Time for a conspiracy theory - Lorenzo gets the worn out clutch from Rossi's bike. Another entry in the JL 'Big Book of Excuses' ?

    Here fishy fishy fishy.

    Any brave predictions?

    Lorenzo - Because he is bloody fast...
    Iannone - Fast & a point to prove
    Rossi - He needs to keep in the game

    MM - DNF because he needs to push the Honda too much

    10kmph more down the back straight for the dooks. Might actually go out on a limb and say we will have one of the Andreas as the winner. Eeeaaahhhnoni will be determined to show up Ducati for shit canning him, therefore I predict the following
    Top 3 will be
    AI
    AD (in either order)
    JL

    Best of the rest will be
    VR
    MM
    SR
    DP
    MV

    Top notch comedy skit material.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    ESP has said that he does not currently have a contract offer. So with ESA not having one, we could be short two Espagero brothers next year. It's tough at the top.

    And it's looking like a scorcher in Mugello.
