Tough start in the PI "sunshine" for our Moto3 wildcard boys.
Fingers crossed for them.

Zarco 15th on the honda in the 2nd sunny session. With ALL the KTM's behind him (and Lorenzo). Wow, that leaves some french egg on the Austrian bosses face. First dry session on a completely new bike to him, fairly impressive "

In other news, MM clipped a very slow moving JL Honda near the end of the session, where at the gathering point MM made this sleeping gesture to Lorenzo

FQ hs a big highside in FP1 injured ankle and elabow ,sits out FP2.
Jack Miller predicted the new boys might have trouble,he says PI is different and it takes some experience to figure out how to go fast there.

Crap. Bad new re FQ.

Shit Abe used to always pull one out there , real riders track.

Hope Zarco can just improve like crazy. He's a star that got through the cracks.

Another off throttle high side. There's been a few recently.

Not sure what Lorenzo was thinking riding that slow on the racing line at the end of a session.

MM save during the tyre test was another miracle, Pol destroyed his KTM as did Remy Gardner on his machine in moto2.

Sam Lowes is lucky only to get a small penalty for his intentional barging down the main straight what a dick.

Been a crap day on the island with rain and wind and the ocassional dry track , FP4 red flagged part way due to wind - Olivera had a nasty crash along the main straight , Q1 and Q2 cancelled , have to wait and see to find out what race direction decides for tomorrow.

Time for Dorna to change the race from spring to autumn. I hope Olivera is OK, that looked very nasty.

Maybe Qatar and PI could swap.

Ummm so what is your plan for Superbikes? As GPs and SBK do at Qatar (opposite ends of the season) so too it works at PI.

Of course PI has to fit in with Japan, Thailand and Malaya too. It's hard to see it moving.

And he stayed on. Well done Dominic and well done photographer.

I've done that. It fucken hurts.

Great day for team Leopard with a 1st and 2nd, congrats to Lorenzo Dalla Porta Moto3 world champ

So the Honda factory team is 1 point behind Ducati. Although unlikely, Marquez could win the team prize by himself!

There can't be much wrong with the Aprillias that 20 hp couldn't fix, and all on a budget probably 20% of what KTM spend.

That was my first thought when I saw it on TV. The landing could be a worry, but less so for Ana Carasco?
