Just watched Press conference 1 and 2. They are always free in the MotoGP site

Yes, the MotoGP site has plenty to watch. Just thought I'd post a link to make it easy to find!

Yeah, pretty much. As time goes by, it comes into sharper and sharper focus why Ducati went with MM over Martin.

Again. If MM on 25 was fighting JM on the 24 you might be in for a different fight.

Or the other way around!

I thought he did well in the press conference, better than some of the journalists. He should have listened to Marc's advice, but it is all history now and forward is the only direction that matters.

The track looks good, the old lap record is going to be obliterated!

Martin finished a wet Friday practice in 5th position - impressive. Some un-charitable types may suggest that he has had plenty of practice of late splashing around in his own tears.

MM way out in front in a league of his own...... Again.

Yup.. isnt this the track where MM was pole from qualifying in the wet on slicks? and Pedtrosa said I dont know how come its dry for Marc and wet for the rest of us?

What did we learn today?
MM can read his dashboard, drop 2 secs to warm his front tyre, then pass Acosta like he was standing still and win by a large chunk of a second.

Some guy on facebook said:

Marc wasn't complaining in his post race interviews. He understands it's for safety. He didn't even put blame to the engineers. He simply adapted. If anything's to be done, FIM should hold a workshop and have Marc as the teacher. "How to deal with tyre pressure 101"

What did Pecco say? "The engineers gave me the wrong tyre information" (I read that on twitter somewhere)

Spot on, excellent post

Spot on, excellent post

Marc was just so much faster in the sprint that it's ridiculous. But great that Pecco got on pole.

The crash at the end of Q2 was really scary. Another reminder that this is not F1, it is dangerous.

Morbidelli needs to go before someone gets badly injured. Sad though, I've enjoyed his riding until this year.

So Marc had successfully managed his tyre pressure issue and the riders flagged for investigation after the race were all OK. Something to do with the correction for the height of the track? And Pecco's was some kind of fault.

That rule needs to be changed.

Found this on facebook on Oxley's page, about Pecco, thought it was interesting:

Adam OdmarkI do feel sorry for Pecco, he’s the brunt of way too much BS. The whole field are absolute guns, riding at a level that is so out of this world unattainable for 99.99% of the world’s aspiring motorcycle sportsmen, worthy of so much respect so far as the sport and race craft is concerned, but what makes a great racer truly great at this level?
In theory, it’s rudimentary; motorcycle racing is governed by physics, there are physical restrictions / constraints a plenty, but they can be broadly grouped into bike / machine constraints and rider constraints. To be a great, firstly the machine / package ridden needs to be in the ballpark to allow rider greatness to shine through (look at Marquez on his last years with Honda and Quatararo last couple of seasons on the Yamaha). Once the bike’s capability is in the ballpark or better, then it comes down to rider constraints. What makes a great rider/racer great? In my opinion, it comes down to two things (a) a more finite sense or understanding of where the edge of performance is; it’s like someone with better visual acuity than another person, without the aid of glasses the person with poorer vision simply cannot see the detail that the other can, and once that limit is known, perceived, felt, understood (b) how much they are prepared to flirt with it, sit on it, or just inside of it. This is what makes the greats “great”.
I recall when Mick Doohan took one of the most sensational poles of all time, probably THE most sensational actually, Assen ‘98, well worth the search on YouTube. Simon Crafar, who had been sitting on provisional pole, went down to Mick’s garage to shake his hand, Mick looked at Crafar like he hated him, Crafar picked up the vibe immediately and was shocked, he asked Mick what was wrong, Mick responded that he was pissed off that Crafar “made him” push the limit of what is safely achievable in order to secure the pole. This speaks to his very finite sense of where the edge is, and the courage, skill and sometimes luck to stay right on it.
Pecco right now, he’s struggling to see / know / feel the edge to the degree that MM can, creating a level of doubt and uncertainty in his mind. It might only be 0.2% less than MM, but in MotoGP that’s all it takes.

edit: just watched the press conference where MM was saying that because of his injury he can not be aggressive for many laps so has had to adjust his riding smile
