    Race control has been handing out penalties for fucking up other people in qualifying for ages. Why is it a problem now?

    Where whoever it was would have qulialified is moot. They deserve their shot.

    I look forward to seeing the list of Moto GP riders fined for it then.

    Agree. If you don't want a penalty don't ride fucking slow on the racing line. That one was deserved from the footage I saw as MV was going all out for a quick lap.

    Saw that Miller was riding with a broken collar bone, no other details were given.

    The problem for Marquez was that Iannone was just in front looking for a nice juicy tow as per fucking usual. It's about time that dickhead grew some balls and set his own time.

    Oh yeah it's Joan Mir. My apologies Joan. No fucking standard spellings these dastardly Spaniards. From 24th at turn 1 to 4th at the finish and still having enough tyre to be closing on a podium.

    Cracked, torn rotator cuff and a few other "small" injuries.
    Looking almost a certainty that he'll get the factory spec bike next year providing they don't hand it to Bags instead. Equally talented riders IMO just with Jacks experience he should probably get it.

    Must've been a fucking small cuff tear is all I can say.

    Actually bro you would have been in 7th if Dani was fit, or not on the podium as he'd kick ya butt all day every day. But keep telling yourself it's ok to fall off trying to get past Zarco as you fast bro, you fast. (btw I think he's a bloody good rider, just not as good 60% of those he's racing).

    He just doesn't have an off button does he? Still... self belief is really important. Somebody must have told him that.

    He's got the bike to have this year though. Just got to find that fine line between being fast and falling off... which most other riders would have found about three years ago.

    Got three wins since the 2016 season though which is exactly the same as a certain aging prima donna on the factory Yamaha team.

    Rumor or not??

    On a Motorcycle you're penetrating distance, right along with the machine!! In a car you're just a spectator, the windshields like a TV!!

    Turn down a Honda for a KTM? Must've been the knock to the head as a baby.

    yes ,agree but maybe no other options avail ? Herve a known quantity plus team and Mechs all in place . Who knows ,if anyone can ride and succeed on the new KTM its Zarco ?
    I'd put a dollar on him to do well. ??????????

    You'd never go hungry with Nigella Gaz.
    If it weren't for flashbacks...I'd have no memory at all..
