Lets start saving to build bike specific tracks....

When I win 15 mill in Lotto tonight, we'll build one together mate. But I'll be wanting lots of up and down hill shit. None of this flat world shit!

I agree totally. I've been watching the drought around Cheviot, thinking there's going to be some primo circuit land available there soon....

Not far North of ChCh - and i reckon we'll lose 'puna inside 10 years....

Build our own version of Laguna's Corkscrew. And it'll be well nasty!

As David Emmett says little is known yet, perhaps things will become clearer overnight our time.

The bike apparently hit the wall at speed and bounced back hitting Salom.

I hope we don't get endless replays of the accident. A concise explanation will do me thanks.

Thinking because they roll over in gravel?

I've driven that layout on racing sims. Its quite a technical section so should add a new element to the racing, but most importantly save our riders skin.

After FP3 the Honda looks like a real contender. Pedrosa in particular. Anyone want to change their picks?

For me...

Pedrosa - I would love to see him back in form
Rossi
Vinales

Marquez for a mistake-riddled fourth

[pritch]

I did wonder if the changed layout would alter the balance of power as it were. Apparently Yamaha miss the high speed corner and Honda gain from the increased braking.

Results of FP3 which is the only practice session that counts, times from the others have been cancelled:

VIN
MAQ
PED
ROS
ESP
LOR
RED
PET
CRU
IAN

Lorenzo really doesn't do himself any favours on the PR side of things.

Yeah I saw that on Twitter and was going to mention it. We don't get many peeks at the character of these guys but a chink opened there.

Lorenzo says his Yamaha does not like first gear corners and he is unhappy about the changes to the track. He said didn't attend the meeting because he wasn't advised about it, but the meeting is held the same time, same place, every race weekend and is attended by the same core group of ten or so riders every time. Marquez is normally the only "alien" in attendance.

If you don't go to the meeting you can't whinge about their decisions. Respect to those who make the effort each time.

I wonder if the next safety meeting will be better attended?

[Autech]

Yup his royal highness doesn't concern himself with the matters of safety, let the peasants decide.
He's just annoyed as the new turn 10 is a very heavy braking area which seems to be the only place the Honda is working this ok year.

Lorenzo makes Marquez look a very mature young man indeed and the one that has his shit together when it comes to safety and dealing with the press.

Not having forked for a video pass this year I can't see the press conference, and have not yet watched qualifying but am about to.

Possibly during the press conference a journo reportedly said,
"One of you must be lying."

Apparently this comment upset Zarco. Does anybody who did pay for a video pass have any idea of the context, who the remark was addressed to and what it concerned?

Rossi's turn http://m.crash.net/motogp/news/23101...-comments.html

Even the Rossi fans must admit he's become a prize wanker. Pity Rossi dosen't rhyme with Moaner or whinging cunt.
