Miller is in 18th in FP1 Tony... :-*
Couldn't they find some red leathers for Barbera? :P
They don't want him to feel too' comfortable. ;)

Dovi on top in FP1 by .28.
New tires at the end, supposedly.
I guess my boy was watching himself on the big screen. :D

He sure couldn't get it stopped in one.
What, he's (Miller) upright?! :o
I expect Miller to take it easy this weekend.
Really wants to ride at his home Gp.....

Yup...only one crash in the first two sessions. :P
Bad crashes for Pedrosa, a highside to the moon, broke his collarbone and won't ride.
Laverty crashed hard also, and got hauled off on a stretcher. Can't find a status on motogp.com
Edit... Laverty's OK... http://www.bbc.com/sport/northern-ireland/37653854 (http://www.bbc.com/sport/northern-ireland/37653854)
The wings are huge!

Damn! That's too bad. Danny could have been a spoiler. Might be the end of the season for him.
Not sure how long this will stay up. He was launched

Pedrosa got launched at the apex, and landed on the green runoff strip past the curb on the exit.
Glad to hear Laverty's OK, that was brutal.
First a highside, then his bike tries to squash him, and finished off with tumbling head over heels in the gravel.
I was sure he was hurt.
The stretcher ride was certainly disconcerting.
Ouch!
Laverty sitting out FP3 due to concussion from yesterday's crash. Maybe FP4.
Jack goes down again

That's only twice.
Good thing he's taking it easy. ;D
Holy make the beast with two backs balls. Lorenzo got spit off like he was in the PBR.

Well, he can't win the championship, so he's competeing with Dani for biggest high side.
That was wicked, and he landed flat on his back.
Jack. Give it up dog, you're not ready to be back.
Dani and JLo only had bronc rides, Laverty had the bull that stomped him after it threw him down. :-X
:D True, that bike was going after him like a bull.

FIFY ;D
Well, that was a surprise!
For Marc and his team too at first.

They recovered quick enough to get the shirts out in time.
Yeah, and the golden helmet. I guess they carry that stuff to every round from when its theoretically possible.
Wonder if there have been cases of things not working out as planned and that stuff getting binned by season's end?
Didn't see those finishing results coming at all. :o Who would have thought?
High drama! [clap] My boy on the podium again.
If MM can stay healthy and stay interested in the sport, he could give VR's records a good shake.

After Rossi had his off, I was thinking, damn, just let the kid win already... then he did.
Wasn't rooting for him this season but it was great to see how happy he was with this surprise win.
Yeah, it's easy to overlook that he's still a kid really. Amazing achievements at his age. If VR's the GOAT, MM is the LAMB.

Wouldn't that be the KID?
As in young GOAT, sure that'll do.
