The run off the line with the Ducati launch control wont be quite as dominant this time as they have to back off and brake earlier on the dip for the entry to turn one ...... I doubt Miguel will be right at the sharp end on the KTM and might be a Fabulous and Rins with the Ducatis in amongst it but depends if they can look after the tyres as they dont have the brute force speed to power past everyone as they did in Qatar

Marquez will be in the mix early on but may drop back due to lack of match fitness...... adrenaline might keep him going, who knows with him

I am just getting pissed off thinking that i should be riding that track in 6 weeks but probably wont be

I'm surprised that nobody lambasted Bagnaia for riding 100% through a yellow flag. Even novice club riders know to shut off.

It's a pile of wank isn't it... Everyone was like "yeah we're not going " and then sitting watching that track yesterday i can imagine everyones thoughts leaning to "ooooh, well, maybe... fuck it.... why not." instead.
To make things worse for you, the track is way better in reality than it looks for them. You lose most of the elevation due to cameras, but you also can't appreciate the flow at their speed as they're too fast for us normal humans to appreciate.

I have a feeling that McPhee going to have a blinder.

10seconds plus on the first lap. Could be 15.
The Track hopefully will help. If he gets his head down he'll not be involved with anyone so will be able to take the faster lines. The others meanwhile will be all over each other.

I hear you, but no. If he scores even 1 point it'll be an exceptional performance

I'll have a pound on that.

McCrash is setting off 5 seconds behind Alcoba. That should be fun

"Dive Bomb" Binder also starting from pit lane. That should provide some entertainment

I missed why?

He had his best result of the season so far, he managed to finish the race.

did any one see Jacks arm after he crashed and ripped the stitches out

Fabio did well and scored me some good points, Marc rode a good race, hopefully its a sign of things to come quite soon.

I just posted that in the other thread, he's killing my team, dropped to 3rd

What was the Fast Frog's dance thingy ?

Rins crashes out,Martin bends himself. Man,I can pick them!

The Moto3 and Moto2 were great races,the main event was a tad dull.

MM is still suffering a bit with bike fitness,it would seem.

He summed it up with saying the first few laps were nuts and everybody passed him as he couldnt turn the bike or feel the front tyre as he is used to. The middle of the race he found a rhythm although he felt he was slow and for the last 5 or 6 laps he was "just sitting on the bike"
