FP1 was all wet...FP2 was "crappy" conditions as it was not exactly wet, but not exactly dry...

[derby]

chaz davies has some "interesting" comments in the last 7 minutes of motogp fp2 regarding tire allocation during the pre-control-tire days.

Marquez will be starting the race on Sunday at the very back of the grid as a penatly for punting another rider when making a dangerous pass on FP.

[duccarlos]

Last chance to see Rossi on a Duc before he flames them in the press for not following his advise.

I guess that depends on what kind of results ( if any ) come about next year...

[duccarlos]

Well, I should say flaming during the off season.

Marquez will be starting the race on Sunday at the very back of the grid as a penatly for blasting Corti into the gravel trap like it was the last lap in a supercross on FP.

Fixed it for ya.

FP 1 or 2?

"I passed him on the inside and then felt a touch, which was totally involuntary. I immediately looked around to see how he was and, when I saw that he had crashed, I became very worried.

"I went to apologise to him after the session, he understood and the most important thing is that he wasn't hurt. I publically apologise once again."



plus, we already know he can start last and still win.

no it doesn't.  bike has the same problems it did in valencia, 2010.  that's ridiculous.
 

[Speeddog]

FP 1 or 2?

[ducpainter]
