FP1 rossi's #2 bike is one of the "rear tank" versions.
Jack Miller... ouch!

It was pretty nasty and he was down for a while.
Pedrosa just gave Yonni the bird.
MM dominates FP1, followed by Jorghey (I'm surprised), with Iannone getting a tow from MM for third.

Hmm, his 2nd hand look leathers are now 3rd hand.
He's doing a good job of crushing the field.
Right now he's going to be his own worst enemy. If he keeps it on 2 wheels and puts in just a decent amount of effort, he will cruise for the win.
Yeah, great job considering the issues they had with the bike which must just be too unpredictable when pushing. He deserves a good result. At least the track suits Honda acceleration to help mitigate those issues, as the Yamaha will have an advantage at some Euro tracks (unless HRC make more progress), so MM has gotta make the most of it here. The cheeky little bugger has big balls, you gotta respect him.
My boy was struggling this morning, but got on his game as the day went on. 8)
Good kid. I want him to stay with Suzuki but I think he will be riding with VR. He's got talent and appears a no bullshit kind of young bloke. I want to see Suzuki podium this race and match Yamaha's offer.
Dovi down in 9th. Maybe he's going. Redding doing well.
Withing the top 10, 4 Ducati, not bad . . .

it is gonna be an interesting start
Miller's out of the race, due to accident, it seems it resented old injury
It was a strange day at the track today with the rain coming and going. I am glad the big boys were able to qualify in the dry.
Mark
If ever anybody is going to give MM a run for the money, it will be this year.
I'm rooting for Kopf's boy on the Suzi to get into the mix and keep it rubber side down.
Will this race be on TV today? I have Comcast, can't find it.

My understanding is all motogp and WSBK coverage is on BeIn sports this year.
Is BeIN a reputable site? If so, I'll sign up.

I think your cable provider will have to have that channel in a package.
Go with motogp.com. The coverage is great, you get to watch the same day...live if you can stay up, or get up early for the Euro rounds..., and you get to watch races as many times as you want. You also don't get raped by your cable provider for stuff you don't want.

The thing I like most about the site are the different views you can click through during the race, and my favorite is the ambient button so I don't have to listen to the make the beast with two backsing announcers. ;)

That was a pretty fast one, T3.
He held it up on his knee for a long long time, but it never came back.
Then a bit of thumping in the gravel.
End of the session, he gets to think about that until the race.
3-7 had a battle going on, but Rins and Lowes walked the field. Good shit.
Bye bye Golden boy
Holy shit.
Dovi's gotta be getting sick of this...
Dani....Dani...Dani
Wow.
How many bikes are we gonna see go down?
Dovi was way off line, if he had been on a normal line, Pedrosa wouldn't have hit him, and likely would have just run wide.
That really sucks for Dovi.
I think everyone that went down lost the front.
Cal's really lucky that Bradley's bike didn't take him out.

See Scott Redding's knee slider or lack of it on a MotoGP pic? He said he lost the front and had to save it with the slider so many times that it wore through slider and leathers.
We may have picked on Dani MacBriddle-Bones a few times but I do have to say he's a class act. Shit happens on the track. The first thing he did was go over and see how Dovi was doing.

And then later stopped by Dovi's pit box to apologize to him and his crew.
I'm liking that little turd more and more as time goes by.
Pedrosa has heart & class.
I made fun of him for years, but now I think it's a real shame that he has never won the championship. He has no personality, but still a class act.
Dovi's luck! Poor guy had a chance for 3 consecutive 2nd place finishes to end up being taken out.
Iannone at least was smart enough to not dump it today.
Rossi had bad luck as well.
Not sure I would turn my back on an active track. Cal probably had more luck than anyone else on this race.
Remember that guy at school who was a real douche', but when he matured became a decent bloke? Maybe the victim of bullying and withdrawn as a result. That's Dani, just chronically shy and maybe an Aspi (seriously). Like I've said before, just makes his achievements all the more respect worthy. I thought I'd never forgive him for what he did to Hayden, buy I'm getting there for sure.
Some however, will just become bigger and better at being assholes.
Yeah, Pedro has been a class act in every single incident these past couple of years. I really want him to get that WC before he retires now.
And offhand... we're going to need to get a counter for where Dovi would be in the championship if he didnt keep on getting torpedoed every round. These first couple of rounds are where the Duc's seem to shine the best and I dont think they'll be able to pull out the same level of results in Europe.
Oh, also, Pedro made a good point about the winglets... if he had them on his bike, Dovi might have been hurt pretty bad if it had made contact with his leg. I agree with him and I'm now on the boat where they should just take them out of the equation.
The winglets are specific to anti-wheelie and until someone gets impaled by one, they will continue to use them. There are too many what-ifs in that crash. A few inches closer, Pedrosa's bike would have completely destroyed Dovi's leg with or without the winglets.

Or maybe he struggled with front end grip like everyone else and like many got caught out or made a mistake.
