Yah, definitely not a handsome bit of bodywork.

I find it interesting with Folger P2 and Zarco P4, and Vinales P11 and Rossi P14 (and thus stuck in Q1 if P3 is wet).

Aleix P9 on the Ape, and Pol P13 on the KTM.

And Rins faster than Iannone.

Bodywork by Dyson.

Looks like Joe Roberts earned a top 10 on his maiden run!!  Looking forward to watching the races even if the GP results look like it was a snoozer.

2 laps in.... 'Well Honda blew that call'...

2 laps later...'These guys are geniuses'...

My boy looked determined today.

Drama in the pits resulting in time penalties.
 It got messy there at times.
JL's bike wasn't ready costing him big time.

Yeah, Ducati did a bang up job on bike prep in the pits.

That was insane watching MM chop people off left and right at 10 seconds a lap faster

Your boy definitely found a nice groove today  [thumbsup]

MM was in a class of his own. Ducati wasn't the only team called out with the bike setup, but definitely the worst reacting. It's a shame since Dovi had good pace.

Marquez turned Chicken Shit into Chicken Salad to be sure!

MM on the grid: "The medium rear feels icky, let's change to the soft"

MM a lap and a half in: "I'm make the beast with two backsed, I'm on the wrong tire! SHIT, I have to pit NOW!"

MM 3 laps in: "Are you freaking kidding me!!??"

Luck favors the bold.

It sure was fun watching 3rd-10th places. I'm surprised MM and Dani didn't fall asleep.

Mark

Iannone can't even make it through pit lane without almost hurting someone.

He can't help it with a literal target on his helmet.

I still dislike MM.

A picture is worth a thousand words.
