2013 MotoGP Round 16 - Phillip Island (Spoilers!)

JLo indeed fastest, but just a mouse fart ahead of MM.

It's only FP1, but those two have a big gap over the rest.

JLo has been to PI on the big bikes 5 times already, but it's the first time for MM.
No matter that MM crew has Stoner's setup and data, JLo has to be worried.

Interested to see if DP makes any progress, per his normal path of slow in FP1 then getting better.

Bradl was declared unfit after FP1 and did not go for FP2. It is believed that he will not participate any further this weekend, but he is able to try and go through the torture test again in the morning before FP3. Also, MM Highsided late in the session at Lukey Heights apparently.

Mandatory bike swaps for everyone due to Bridgestone rears not lasting: http://www.motogp.com/en/news/2013/race+direction+decision+for+phillip+island+race

Riders can't do more than 14 laps on one rear tyre, and race is shortened to 26 laps.

WTF?

Why don't they just take the riders off the bikes and give them remote controls.  That way no one is at risk.

I don't want to see any one get hurt but this is silly. What happened to managing your tires?  Did Bridgestone forget how to make tires?

What next? No right turns?

Heh. I suspect it's to do with the PI resurfacing. Been destroying tyres in everything from club racing to other things. Dunlop caught with their pants down for Moto2 as well, which is now a shortened race.

[koko64]

 The grip of the new surface is so good its reportedly worth a second off lap times.
 The downside, it eats tyres.

Yeah based on some times popping out I'm keen to get down there. Was hoping to commit to the island classic but depends if I make the LC whole again in time
