Mir out but Lorenzo is back.
The press conference is on live.
Jorge is being obtuse, and Jack looks like he wants to either break out laughing, or punch George. [laugh]
Well, considering that he almost cost Jack his ride...
For sure.
Clearly Jack has no tolerance for bullshit.
Should be a good race at this exciting old school track."

Jorge is back?
Cal put £10k up if Bradley topped a session of Moto2 FP?
Mav thinks the weekend will go well?
[laugh] [laugh]
I thought Cal and Fabio were gonna lose it when JLo was giving his 'Puig' non-answer to the direct questions about when he contacted Ducati.
Thanks to JLo we can expect next silly season to be especially silly. I see Ducati dumping Petrux and bringing the douchebag back. That will cause a lot of ripples, since Dovi will definitely not like that move and Jack would likely be expecting a factory spot.
The Ducs are waking up. So are Rossi and Fabio.
Bunch of guys exceeded the track limits, both Rossi and Fabio's best times.

Three - four guys faster than Quartararo's lap record destroying best lap from yesterday :o
https://twitter.com/Anna_Maria_09/status/1165263568452947973/photo/1
Fabio, Marc and Mav seem to have podium pace.
But Mav starts in P6, so will need an absolute blinder of a start.
Top 7 guys will hopefully spend the entire race hammer and tongs.
Bravo bravo [clap]
Terrible luck for Dovi
Fabio highsided on the first turn and took out Dovi in a ball of flames literally.
Great move from Rins in the last turn. It was a bit of a snoozer until the last 2 laps.
Has anyone heard of Dovi’s condition? He did stand up very gingerly, but the last shot I saw was the team standing outside of the medical center
Didn't look good, he couldn't fully weight his legs. Dovi was thrown high and hard and was pummeled against the tarmac as he tumbled. He lay there for quite some time before coming to
No broken bones but under observation. Don't know how he didn't break something.
🇪🇸 🇪🇸 🇪🇸
That was as scary a wreck as I have seen in some time! :o
I’m glad they are both relatively ok.

Dovi's pretty rugged, he's used to getting skittled.
Marquez back wheel at turn 8!
Wow what a race.

I was thinking maybe it was a 'launch control' issue like JLo had at Laguna '11.
That was absolutely magical seeing Rins pick MM's pocket.
Heard some unsubstantiated mutterings about Rossi and MM rear tires chunking?

Any further word on Dovi?
I've had similar crashes, certainly not as fast, or fiery, but the altitude was about the same. No fun.
Should be back in Italy by now

Some rather nonspecific mutterings about rear tire trouble from Rossi, Cal and Jack.
Some very specific mutterings from another source about rear tires chunking for Cal and MM and Rossi, not substantiated at all.

Looks OK to me.....
For Silverstone, it was blazing hot and the tarmac was brand new, so Michelin had zero historical data to work with.
Thanks Carlos.

Doesn't look bad at all.
Pramac pic on FB shows Jacks rear tyre chunking badly on the RHS. Jack said Crutchlow's was similar and they were trying to battle while nursing the tyres home.
Seems Rins won that race twice. He thought penultimate lap was the last lap. Crossed the line with that outside move by .001. (https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/sites/default/files/content/Mat%20Oxley/2019/August/rins_marquez_woodcote_final_lap.jpg)
