SO it's FP3 and Qualifying today.

None of the 3 injured boys have been doing much, but that's to be expected.

The KTMs are going well again as are both the Petronas bikes...

Who'd ever thought you'd see the 2 works Hondas last bikes in Q1?

Unthinkable. But you have to admire Honda for their decision with Alex. He's clearly not ready for it on that bike.
KTM going really well overall!

Alberto Puig was a twat for saying it would be a hollow win without him.
He crashed coz he rode beyond his limits.

Breaking news just now. Suzi says that Mav is on his 5th engine and Rossi, Fabio both on engine number 4. So could be seeing Yamaha's starting at the back of the grid or pit lane soon. Could keep things interesting.

Excellent from McPhee, much better tactics/luck/whatever this weekend. Found himself in the right position and the little tussle with Binder really helped him out there.

Moto3 excellent.

Moto2 after 2 laps I set my alarm for 25 minutes nap. Woke up for last 3 laps. Missed nothing.

MotoGP was cool.

And just got worse for Yamaha with Franco's engine going pop as well

nice to see McPhee not get knocked off on the last lap!

Moto2 was pretty quiet on excitement but good finish for Sam. I was looking forward to Remyu Gardner and Jake Dixon playing closer to the pointy end this season but nothing happening wit either of them yet.

Enjoyed MotoGP, tough luck for Bagnia and Morbidelli, Good to see Rossi's finally found a setting.

This could get interesting if there is an inherent fault and not just say the heat causing problems. With Yamaha facing potentially multiple pit lane +5 second penalties I can't see the other manufactures wanting to let them off. Looks like they have lost 3 engines already and everyone with all engines being used or 1 left at round 2. Could be a disaster for Fabio :(

Ouch indeed. Mine was similar but in 3 and a bit parts and nerve damage. They didn't plate mine due to the nerve damage so guess not being fixed in place (took 3 months to nit together) would have made it worse, but I was in no fit state for any exercise for months. Those guys are superhuman. All of them.

I have to watch the Moto E races with the sound off,that reedy voiced dude squeals on a frequency that hurts my ears.

Quite entertaining racing tho...those big bikes virtually stop as soon as they fall over. :lol:
