That's why they left Crazy Joe alone up in 1st place ;D
;D ;D ;D ;D
That new (?) front wheel camera on Maverick's bike is pretty nifty.
Lorenzo and Espargaro went down in almost the exact same spot.
Marquez just made a ridiculous save. :o

Marquez's save in FP3 was ridonkulous.
Just try to snatch the pebble out of his hand. Go ahead.
Oh yeah, in case you didn't hear, it popped his airbag.
Then his lowside in Q2, stealing a scooter, then getting to the top of the second row.
Dovi on pole yeahhh!
Rossi is looking particularly ominous.
Lorenzo's crash definitely put a big dent in his tuneup.
If the weather is good, he may be able to recover, but if it's dodgy, IMO he's screwed.
“On the data it looks like when I first touched the front brake the front wheel was not exactly on the ground. So then I have this big problem.â€

He rode that scooter like he stole it.

Begrudgingly. I still say he's a lying little ............ ;D [roll] Better guy, overall, than Lorenzo though.

Ducs upfront followed by my boy for WUP. Marco was make the beast with two backsing with Dani at the end.
Red Flag with 12 to go . . .

Great pitboard. Obviously the team have a few laughs, and tonight a few beers.

Much more likely to see a pitboard of a race leader.
Hard to get shots of a pitboard when the rider is in the gravel and out of the race. :P
Anyone with a motogp subscription take the time to watch the post race press conference. The kid has a great sense of humor.
[thumbsup]
What a topsy turvy championship. Talk about changing fortunes.
MM showed maturity not taking on the Jackass in The Flood. 20 points in the bag.
"If I went past myself I'd be like, 'that dickhead's gonna crash up there in 2mins' " :D

Redding is pissing himself laughing. [laugh] MM's english is good enough to think "I cant believe he actually said that".
Its refreshing when so many responses are PR sanitized. Moto GP could do with more of this colourful character. :D
Interesting race. Loved Yonnys early courage.
Jackass wow.
Gives some hope he may still have a ride next year.
Being captain crashy has been putting a serious dent in that possibility.
Really hope honda dont start with the here is what you are allowed to say.
GP14 frame was always good in the wet . . .
I thought Monkey might win it but alas he crashed like others pushing too hard.

See Petrucci has been riding since he was a kid. :D

That was a corker!
"Lorenzo is now coming under pressure from Tito Rabat."
I can honestly say I never imagined I'd hear that.
Man, the wheels didn't just come off the wagon, they exploded and went into low earth orbit.
He can ride a race right on the razor's edge and never have any perceptible 'moment', seemingly like he's tootling down to the corner store for a jug of milk.
He's got to have tremendous feel for what the tires are doing, and glacial smoothness, to be able to pull that off.
With those skills, you'd think he would be deadly in the rain.
Baffling.
Big attaboy to Jack for not throwing it into the gravel. [beer]
He's had a hard go of it in the big show.
I hope this will give a lasting boost his confidence.
One also to Marquez, for letting Jack go and bagging the 20 points while his title rivals were stepping on their dicks.
Last year he would have dueled and it likely would have ended badly.
Redding kept his head down and got the job done.
If Dovi didn't have bad luck, he'd have no luck at all.
A season to forget other than keeping his factory ride.
When there were 4 Ducatis in the top 5 I actually let myself think that it was going to be their day to win a race. It's tough to be a Ducati fan :(

MM learning to race with maturity is terrifying for the other guys. And once Honda figures out how to make a bike that works again he'll be even crazier.
Wish VR didnt drop it just so the standings would have closed up some more.

Jack's standup wheelie over the line was stellar. [clap]
