What the fuck was the sighting lap all about there the now with the 300 qualifying? I’m glad they got pulled in and got a huge bollocking for that, fucking idiots! Never seen so much bullshit, keep that up get sent home, simple as that dangerous wee fucks.

What happened?

It’s hard to describe, it’s like track cycling when they’re waiting going really slow, waiting and waiting and generally fannying about like that but on a much bigger scale that was ridiculous, going off track as well everywhere, the pace was so slow, it was madness. In fact, when it was red flagged just as the first rider was about to complete their sighting lap the pace was faster heading in after being red flagged than it was on the sighting lap.

Those first half dozen laps....WOW!

I bet Wull is VERY happy

That was incredible, some of the best racing this season, JR gives as good as he gets that’s for sure. As much as I can’t stand that coont that was a big one, glad he got up and walked away.

I said it earlier can’t remember what post but JR is rattled and is making so many mistakes and having to ride the hardest he has ever ridden before and he doesn’t look comfy doing it, I said as well earlier in this thread that he looks like he could crash at any moment.

Quick update on JR - to be assessed again tomorrow morning before warm up, multiple contusions, abrasions to elbow.

[Skub]

The first half of the race was bonkers at the front. Scott Redding says he thinks there were dangerous moves beyond his comfort level.

Great for the spectacle,but I hope we don't have a test case coming.

Today may be a pivot point in the championship,Toprak won't be giving away a 45 point lead easily and there is still talk that Indonesia may not happen. What a year!

[wull]

Big up Loris Baz, well done! Bautista with another front end crash. Honestly can’t see him doing anything at Ducati next season, couldn’t get the job done after the Rev limit reduction and struggled thereafter.

[Skub]

Yeah,Baz did his options no harm at all with that ride.

[weeksy]

Feisty stuff at times that.

[KungFooBob]

At one point Rinaldi was trading places with Baz, the contrast in rider size was quite obvious. Rinaldi could get totally hidden by the Ducati fairing, Baz not so much

[KungFooBob]

Says it all...

What the fuck was the sighting lap all about there the now with the 300 qualifying? I’m glad they got pulled in and got a huge bollocking for that, fucking idiots! Never seen so much bullshit, keep that up get sent home, simple as that dangerous wee fucks.

What happened?

The usual 300 routine of being the last one to the line looking for a tow. The entire field used the Long Lap lane on the first lap out to get off the racing line but were all over the place on the lane and the green areas weaving about. They got a mass bollocking in pitlane with from what i heard on playback "Have you already forgotten what happened last weekend", "Go out there, get the qualifying done properly or its over, do you understand" .... and off they went with no more major fucking about. Fair play to the race direction for the bollocking

[wull]

I liked it when race direction said “do it again, come back in pack up and go home”………..

Funny how when they went back out they managed to do it proper, just do it like that every time and don’t fuck about.
