FP2 is dry. Rest of the forecast is looking wet. Mav into the 29's. Another reason to love PI -- Thurs night prime time racing.

 

I will be watching from Doohan corner Saturday and Sunday, any other WERA peeps here?

 

Stone cold....

 

Taking a nap in the corners!

 

Nah he was like.... "did you see that save i made back there bro?"

How does he keep getting away with that shit ?

 

Lorenzo is done after this, I don't see Yamaha even pulling him on a satellite ride after this meltdown

 

Man. Lorenzo was sleeping in that corner. Zarco looking good. Iannonie looked great in the tire test too.

 

What meltdown? Him not pushing it? or something else? I think he is trying to force Honda's hand, but if they let him go, I don't see Yamaha having interest. I was thinking Ducati would be a more likely place, but even that would probably have to wait until 2021.

Marquez doing the napping gesture was damn funny!

 

Marc already put Lorenzo in a box even before he bitchslapped him in practice.

What scares me the most is how these kind of saves take him right back into the racing line, ala Simoncelli. Fine when the following rider/s make the right choice as to how to avoid, but in a high-traffic situation (like with Marco), the group may never see him coming back up......

 

Clipped his wings figuratively, and then literally.......

 

Zarco faster than all the KTM riders from the get go. Huge FU to them.

 

I had similar memories when I saw this save

Funny. Seems like similar contact to Sepang 2015 but MM didn't go down here hmmmmmmm

 

Do you think another rider would have gotten a penalty for that?

 

Ferrari gets away with everything

 

That's almost the same exact thing that got Simoncelli killed.

 

So what do you want him to do, throw a million dollar bike down the road? Racers will do whatever it takes to save it. Comparing to Marco's crash is a bit of a stretch.

 

Any chance Honda has that Honda Rider Assist/self balancing motorcycle technology on that GP bike????? Idk how he gets away with tucking the front and not go tumbling down the track. Blows my mind thinking about it
