Chuck_it dead last...

 

Times like this I always want to slap the kids who say practice doesn't mean anything. No, you don't get trophies for practice but you just might get gridded.

 

Wouldn't really hold it against him, considering the circumstances...

 

Marco Spermaceti. I just found his nickname.

 

Weather is crap at Estoril at the moment. One minute sunny, next minute blustery winds and raining. MotoGP WUP in a bit over an hour...

Wow big highside from K Sofo in the warm up.

 

Moto2 Pietri to p8

 

DAMMIT MOTOGP.COM!!!

In this day and age, it's unacceptable to not have split screens or something. That battle for 3rd was AMAZING, yet we didnt get to see who crossed the line bc they had to show the leaders slowing down after the checkered

 

great race finish!

 

I'm no statistician, but I'd say the odds of picking the top 10 in the correct order in a dry race that had all dry practices would be really really difficult. Doing it in a race like this is damn near impossible.

 

I would have definitely liked to see what happened in the parabolica. I dont think split screens would have helped, because they were still pretty close to the leaders, so the cameras were not focused on them till they were exiting the turn. Hopefully there is some good onboard footage, but I dont think all of the moto 2 bikes have cameras.

 

Sofa Blew just earned himself a moto2 ride....

 

You must not play motogp fantasy, papa sucks at it
