2017 MotoGP Valencia Test

I look at data all day. That's what the data says. How can I help you look at the data?

 

I wasn't really serious, just trying to fire up the Valiban❤️❤️❤️

 

There was still an hour+ left and I heard Harris commenting "does he need to go out again?" meaning that the track was cooling and probably no one could beat his (Viñales) time and I was like "it's practice ,they're meant to go round it's not quali!"

 

Just making an observation. 3 riders wearing D-Air this year have had broken backs. - Fact.

Like I said, not a knock on the suit. It was just something that stood out to me.

Safety has come a long long way for sure and it's only getting better. This is why I asked the question, does the D-Air suits replace the standard back protector?

 

I'm glad to see MV in Yamaha blue....

Anyone else think he looks like a young Nicky Hayden??

And this has to burn JLo....

7. Valentino Rossi, Italy (Yamaha), 1:30.709

8. Jorge Lorenzo, Spain (Ducati), 1:30.744

 

I doubt it. Jorge is on a completely different bike than anything he has ridden in 9 seasons, Rossi is on the same bike he basically raced all season. I doubt he's bothered. Come to think about it, I doubt he's bothered that Maverick took his bike with which he dominated the weekend and put up a lap time slower than he did on it.

 

I don't think 0:00.035 bother him AT ALL

 

over a 1000 lap race and that's 35 seconds ... of course it matters

 

Who won the track day ?? I was busy at work yesterday.

 

the guy on the last race winners' ride

 

We should start a pool to see when the first public meltdown of Rossi/Viñales occurs. I'm thinking Maverick bests him all preseason and Rossi starts crying by Qatar.

 

Rossi does well at Qatar, maybe near the end of the 2nd race a drop kick might happen

 

It's gotta sting a bit to finally rid yourself of Lorenzo only to be replaced by Lorenzo.

 

No. MV will actually win more than 3 times.

 

I know we were just treated to one of the most genuinely exciting seasons in recent memory (despite Marquez not being seriously contested), but hot-damn am I pumped for 2017.

I'm all aboard the Vinales train........seems like the minor Yamaha performance boost over the already-competent Suzuki is all he needed, and I expect he'll be fighting for race wins all season long.

If the pointy-end of the grid can stay healthy and minimize crashes/mechanicals, we could see an even bigger spectacle in 2017.
