MotoGP | 2019 | Round 17 | Phillip Island | Stoner Country | Oct 25-27

They'll just put next year's bits on the bike and run it in practice.

 

they must have confused Bold New Graphics with Bring eNough Gas

 

2 bikes. 20 mins of race fuel. What’s the price tag on that?

 

More than you can afford, pal. Suzacki.

 

Marquez
Quatararo
Vinales

 

I have a perfect idea. Reducing rev's on mark's machine and re-ordering the grid after qualifying.

 

?

 

don’t forget to invert the grid after a 5 lap LCQ race!

 

definitely makes a difference in the race

 

Ghey when WSBK did it and would be more ghey in GP. Line up and win...or lose.

 

Wasn't WSBK adding weight or limiting RPMs for bikes that performed too well? Are they still doing that?

Not sure that would work to handicap MM as Honda could rightfully claim that he's the only one getting decent results on their bike.

When Simoncelli was racing I secretly wanted them to add weight vests to the smaller guys. What he did with his size made me a big fan.

 

I see what you did there

 

I think that was when Ducati had the 1098/1198 platforms. If they won x amount, additional kilos would be added.

 

What are the betting odds that Zarco will finish ahead of Lorenzo this weekend?

edit: Bwin has Zarco with better odds to win vs Lorenzo, so I guess that answers my question. lol

FP1 is live now and Zarco is looking pretty good in that Idemitsu kit

 

FQ’s foot touching the ground first did not look good

 

Zarco faster than both Cal and Lorenzo in FP1.

Hope the weekend isn't over for Fabio.

 

My guess is FQ’s ankle is goofed. That looked like it hurt. Hope not.
