It seems the Yamahas don't like Catalunya. This might be where MM gets back into the championship.
That was quite a lap by Espargaro...soft tire sure...but still.
JLo seems happy, he's running a good pace and consistent laps. Chances of rain tomorrow could turn things upside down.
My bets are already on JLo.
Rossi, mm, a. Esp
I don't see VR on podium this round. 3 diff manufacturer on front row is my prediction.
2 manufacturers and the first two are Suzukis.
[shot]
ah horse $hit Jlo on the front row, I'm hoping this isn't another blow out from the get go [bang]
Suzuki!!! Lets hope they can keep up over race distance.
Vinales was very unexpected for me.
Just have to hope Jlo does not blow by in the first 2 corners...
Hope Marquez and Dovi can get by him at the start to keep things interesting.
Wonder what the zuke medium tyre pace was like...
The Zook was faster in FP3 on a medium, but Lorenzo set the fastest lap on a medium tire of the weekend.
He was ticking of 1:41's like clockwork.
Someone needs to slow him up so there's a race. If he gets a good start he could be gone again.

This. You can't let Jorghey qualify in the front row. The Suks will keep it interesting for the first couple f laps, then fall back. They don't normally have the best starts either. MM did much better, but we don't know how much the changes to the bike will help. Dovi will be fighting for 5th.
crossing my fingers VR will show up early to the party this time
Maybe pedro can push him wide into turn 1 after getting a great holeshot start..
bikes are dropping like crazy..... Crutchlow out, Marquez out, Dovi out.
Yawn...
It was more fun to watch Marquez win races flag to flag. :-\
He was going pretty well keeping Jorghey in his sight, but went in too hot. Someone should just tell him that the pressure is off and that he should just play the spoiler. I guess my crystal ball had the wrong Duc fighting for 5th. At this point, only Rossi can ride Lorenzo's pace, but sounding like a broken record, he make the beast with two backsing needs to show up on Saturday!!!! Well, Friday next race at Assen, but he can't continue to qualify on the 2nd and 3rd row.

Marc barely missed.
He should have hit him... :P

+1 At least he should have aimed for the back wheel sensor like he did to the Turd.
How about the Suzuki's getting smoke off the line, Vinales went from 2nd to 14th in the opening

Talk was that 'perhaps' since the Zooks were having previous clutch issues that the engine upgrades might have caused clutch slip.
The bikes aren't 'that' much slower to get smoked like that.

Watching paint dry is more exciting than watching him turn laps.
Boring!
When the announcer started talking about the battle for 9th I should have taken a nap.
Yup.
A godawful parade. Races like that I skip through most of it and catch the last few laps to see if anything has changed.
Wonder how much longer before the wall goes back up inside the Yamaha garage [evil]

Pedrosa blew by espargaro effortlessly

That's 3 times this year, and more to come from Marco.
On another forum they are saying Marco will be gone as soon as aprilia legally can, may be as early as next race
I enjoy races like that, not as much as when there are close duels and multiple passes of course, but I really like to watch the riders' techniques, the close ups and the slow mos to try and see what they are doing how they do it.
Wow what a crash fest in the beginning.
Very happy for VR46. I wish 99 wasn't winning... grrrr
Suzuki did great job.
