What happens if one of the Open bikes wins a dry race?

But for me:  As much as i'm enjoying the upside-down world aspect of it, I have to imagine that much of what we're seeing is that all the Open teams (except Ducati Factory, or Open, or .... um ... screw it) are coming off of many hours of testing on that circuit just a week and a half ago. They're almost as close to a final race setting as they're going to get. The Factory teams will have to make some big strides to get up to speed over the next days, but I suspect they've got it in 'em. |

Like someone said in the motomatters comments " It's only FP1 " --- Let's see how this shakes out. But still........... |

No modification goes unpunished. Memento mori. Good people drink good beer. Things happen pretty fast at high speeds.
It's all up to your will level, your thrill level and your skill level. Everything else is just fluff.

I see open bikes pacing well during qualifying all season because of the soft tire but hurting over race distance

Plus Jorghey looks like he's just about ready to shoot the tires every time he steps off the bike.

Too early to speculate about any results
But I can speculate that this season is looking to be interesting

How can you say that without having seen a race? |

They said during fp1 that Jorge set his PI one off lap with the 2013 tire as well, so even his apparent quick lap at PI wasn't on current tires. He's having a tough time for sure. |

I know it's just one practice but, I wasn't expecting those results! Any word on Yonny's hand?

Just pure speculation on my part... because I'm guessing that the soft tire is in a lot of ways a qualifying tire. |

Without any data to prove otherwise I'd say there's just as good a chance that softer tire might very well work as the equalizer that it's intended to be. Pure speculation on my part...of course.  |
