It's encouraging that Dovi showed he had good pace even on the probable race tire selection. 

Wasn't Motegi supposed to be a Honda track?

That's what gets repeated quite often, and it would be expected, as Honda owns the track.

Just doesn't seem to happen.

Pedrosa pulled a wicked long stoppie, *and* made the corner. 

Good to see Dovi's got good speed on the race tire.

Pedrobot's stoppie!   You'll have to click to go to Youtube, but it's a free video.

Pedrosa's spectacular Motegi practice stoppie

He was in the air a long time.

He was hauling ass too. 

Seems like Honda can tick the 'excellent stability under braking' box on the evaluation chart. 

Info coming in that Pedrosa's stoppie was over 100 meters, started at ~150mph.

Cool.

MM cranked it up for FP3, so he's on top.

He had lil poo pellets in his lil leather suit.

Uh oh.  Looks like someone hacked motogp.com.


Their front page says there's a Duc on the pole for tomorrow's race.

Wheeee ... good race tomorrow   

Was there ever a doubt? MM 2014 champ!

Glad that Dovi had pole position.  Was hoping that Rossi would keep him off but alas. That MM is gonna be champion for atleast the next 5 years.  For a challenge, he should go to ducati.
