The KTM boys are struggling again ?

The KTM boys are struggling again ?

I dont know why but they seem to be very circuit specific ..... all near the front or all near the back at each circuit

[weeksy]

FP 4 then

Olivera doing a bit better, the Honda's are struggling though.

[1913]

With the parabolic state of some areas of the track, it is going to be "interesting".

[weeksy]

Bagnia flying to set pole, Miller struggling after dominant performance before that.

Nakagami did well!

[Yorick]

They've been talking about how bumpy the circuit is and Hodgy did his analysis thing on that fancy telly thingy. In slo-mo the bikes were like bucking broncos through lap 10 with both wheels slightly off the ground. Zarco was almost upright with his arms wide like a MX rider.
Everybody agreed it needs resurfacing.

I think the problem comes back to the ground they built the track on. Apparently it's a clay base which swells and shrinks depending on weather,this causes dips and bumps on the track surface. Even if they resurface the track smooth,it still moves underneath and reverts to dips and bumps. If it's as bad/worse next year,as with Brno I can't see them racing there.

[Yorick]

Enjoyed BSB and WSB so far and 2 more to go.

Nice warm up for MotoGP

I'm doing a BBQ for the gang at 5:00 so we'll all be full of ale watching the race

[weeksy]

McPhee showing a bit of pace in warm up! I'd like to see him at the pointy end again for some Brit entertainment

[weeksy]

Nothing today then ? Nothing on the crazy moto3 and a podium for McPhee ?

Or the dominance of Marquez once again.

I don’t have access to it, wish I had, not willing to pay for it though, typical tight arse Scotsman.

But it's something you'd want to watch ? That seems crazy to not simply because of £20 a month. It's not like you'll be on beans and toast because of it.

[KungFooBob]

How many racers are left?

They've reduced the price of the Videopass down to £25 for the remainder of the season.

Says who? £20 per month is a lot especially when it’s only costing me £6.99 per month for Eurosport and I get much more for that than I would paying £20 per month for just the GP.
