Read that Jack said his rear tyre developed a vibration and loss of grip in the first race. Jack said it was an isolated tyre problem out of the team's control. Read into that what you will.
I hope he can get a good result this time.

What happened in FP3? Few Ducatis out? Not wet? Dusty perhaps....

The Ducati top speed is spectacular  8)

“The top 10 riders after FP3 (combined times) receive direct access to the second and final part of qualifying, but the strong winds and dust - combined with the afternoon heat - meant some riders stayed in the pits (including Friday leader Miller) and nobody improved on yesterday's lap times.”

I’m hoping someone caught that on video.



This was the one yesterday.

Holy shit!  :o I thought it was a Moto3 race. Factory boys might want to take a walk over to the Pramac garage. Jack and Joan had a couple three moments. First time two Frenchmen went 1-2 since the 50’s.

3 awesome races.

McPhee still can't catch a break. [bang]

That Moto3 race was, as per usual a wild one!

In two races Jack went from lead Ducati rider to rider no.4.

... and I don't think it's because of lack of trying  ???

Bad tyre in Race 1 then arm pump in Race 2. Bad luck can look like excuses. Jack needs a win.

Maybe he needs to pretend he's a rookie, and results don't matter.

Seems to be working for Martin.

True. An opponent with nothing to lose is a dangerous one. Jack must be feeling the pressure.

It’s only two races in, but he’s under big pressure now. Not so much from Ducati, but self induced stress. He knows what he has to do to right the ship. The shenanigans with Mir derailed him on Sunday.

I gotta side with Jack on this one. Mir had already pushed him wide earlier in the lap, and Mir was off track in the green when he moved to his right and hit Jack. What was Jack supposed to do? Wave him on by?

Mir clipped Jack first on that hard pass, but then Jack intentionally ran into him coming onto the front straight.

You're entitled to your opinion, but I'm not seein that way. Sorry. Yeah, Jack's elbow went out, but his bike didn't move towards him.

Not my opinion. Everyone has said it.

You're wrong. I didn't, and I'm someone. :-*

I call it the way I see it. I rarely care what anyone else thinks.

The elbow was deliberate ;D

Agreed. [thumbsup]
