Lorenzo huh

Only wins I had this year were MM in Argentina, Texas, Germany and Aragon. Crazy Joe in Austria. The rest I've bombed. Need Lorenzo this weekend to make me (and my account balance) feel a lil better!

Dunno 'bout that. He's been the fastest in both sessions so far by quite a bit, and his record round there is pretty good. Time will tell...

But I reckon he'll be well motivated to part with Yamaha with a big fuck you.

Don't understand why people continue with sky. MotoGP.com is such a good deal and you can watch anytime.

You're wasting your time mate. They'd rather get raped every year and continue to pretend they don't enjoy it by moaning non stop here.

You're probably right, but people have got to move with the times. There's absolutely no need to be tied into service providers like sky. Especially not for MotoGP which offers an affordable and comprehensive package. It's like buying CDs for music. Sheer stupidity.

This would be much better than a bloody supersport 600/4:

Considering 250's did around 100hp back in the day...113 from a 600 is a fail.

Yeah, that figure is obviously a soft tune, with quiet 2-1 pipe & inlet muffling, yet what does a stock 600/4 make?
Nothing like that much torque, for sure..

A power tune, for racing, is going to liberate a fair bit more power.

This is the new Indian 750 flat-track race engine, good for ~110 hp.

If you're gonna use a snowmobile engine...

Of course the 800s make more power, but the FIM need not get complaints about filthy 2Ts if they kept the DI...

What about a 250 2 stroke?

JL seems to like the new front tyre which is supposed to give better feel and better edge grip,which is exactly what he has been missing all year.I persevere with Sky because it does offer other sports and all the other garbage(channels).Sky on demand has a bit of stuff too and sky go can be helpful when you away from home.Qualifying live on sky CH 56 7 30 pm edit.....not 7 30 pm,more like 12 30 am ...
