Loving FP2. Sma Lowes and Jake Dixon bossing Moto2 with 15 mins to go.
McPhee at the pointy end on Moto3.

Well everyone you'd expect to be fast, is fast..

Ducati showing really well. But it's very tight at the top.

Jake Dixon's wrist is a worry by the looks of things,which doesn't bode well for race pace on Sunday. He didn't look to be his usual happy bunny.

He seemed to be suffering but also said he's not taken any painkillers yet, so think he'll dose up and mtfu and do well

I think you're right. He mentioned he didn't feel "at one" with the bike so maybe some tweaking to be done as well but they are all fucking nails. :thumbup:

Old dog haz life yet!

Bagnia looks like he's getting his schitt together.

It's shaping up to be a fine race tomorrow.

Peco let Rossi follow him around for almost the entire session ..... wonder if it was discussed prior to going out or just accepted :thumbup:

Will be interesting as the Ducati's blast past on the straight but the Yamaha and Suzuki manage to twisty bits better and could be held up by the Ducati's in T2 and T3

Moto3 started with a disaster and McPhee being taken out along with 3 others from a very rash overtake.

Exciting finish though with the 2 KTMs blasting out of the last turn !

16 y/o on the podium. He was a lot more mature than some of the oul hands!

If McPhee didn't have bad luck,he'd have no luck.

Moto 2 race good, but not as good as Moto 3

In regards to McPhee, is it bad luck or poor thinking, he tries too hard to be up the front early in the race.

That one was 100% bad luck, to be seen him make poor positional decisions before but that wasn't one.


MotoGP isn't going how I thought!!!!

Good Moto GP race, Mir would have been better settling for 3rd, but it's easy to be wise in hind sight, I'd have gone for the 2nd place. Maverick showed that he's very talented, hopefully his head will stay in the right place for the rest of the year. Maybe Ducati should've listened to Dovi.
