What the hell happened? Was it raining?

What the hell happened? Was it raining?

Dirty track and folks were trying to clean it up and lay down good rubber from what I've read. But the results were shocking to me as well. Sure FP2 will yield another shakeup.

Marquez, Rossi & Lorenzo all said the dirty condition of the track was eating tires, and they opted to save a set of tires for later sessions rather than switch to new rubber and chase times in FP1:

I'm sick of those MotoGP tracks which are constantly dirty. Just by a damn giant, extra sticky rubber tire roll, and treat the track before the event!

Shows just how well balanced the zook is..
giving away 15kmh on the straight to the honda and still being that quick.
Be a very dangerous bike if they find a little more power

I think Ducati is going to have some trouble tomorrow.

I'm predicting

1. MM
2. Rossi
3. Lorenzo
4. Dovi
5. Crutchlow

This will be a boring season if the other riders don't step up to Marquez, .5 in qualifying is just insane. We are going to be watching the race for second

My guess...

1. MM

Sometime later

2. Crutchlow
3. Lorenzo
4. VR
5. Dovi or Crazy Joe

Most likely Dovi due to less tyre wear

I predict 5-9 being very close with AE being there too.

It would be more interesting to predict how many mm will lap, he's a freak,.
I'll stick my neck out now and say mm is the GOAT, all you VR lovers will call it blasphemy I know 😉

The LAMB at present, but will become the GOAT in a few years time if he continues.

Moto3 

Kent dominated, but second place was a battle through out.

 Holy Guacamoly!!! What a race!! Go Rossi!!

Wow. Racing incident.
