Brno Moto GP. *Spoilers Alert*

[koko64]

Two Ducatis on the front row. Dovi 2nd, Crazy Joe 3rd. You can guess who is on pole..

[Needle99]

He who will be 5th again by first corner..I hope. .

[koko64]

Hopefully.

Rossi's seventh after hurting his pinky in a practice crash. Apparently a lot of nerve endings in finger flesh.

[ducpainter]

It was a pretty good off.

Bautista followed him in...could have been much much worse.

[koko64]

Very high speed one he reckoned.

About 0.3 second covering the first 7 or 8 on the grid.

[Rameses]

Hopefully.

Rossi's seventh after hurting his pinky in a practice crash. Apparently a lot of nerve endings in finger flesh.

Did he hurt it in the crash itself or while he was punching the ground afterward?

[duccarlos]

The streak is over!!

The Turd took control on the first few laps and managed the lead all the way to the flag.

Lorenzo would catch up a bit, but just could not get close.

Rossi battled a bit with MM, but left him behind with about 10 laps.

The race itself was pretty boring except when watching MM and Iannone thought they were back in Moto2. It was glorious.

Both Dovi and Iannone represented for the factory. Bradl was the nearest satellite, but it was good to see the Ducs at least not having to battle through them. It's obvious that Gigi's team is improving the shitty bike to the point where they're not fighting for 10th.

Crutchlow should just sit out the rest of the season. I'm ready to admit that I believed the hype. If everyone on the Duc would be struggling, then I would give him the benefit of the doubt. Having both Dovi and Crazy Joe up there simply shows that either Crusty's team is awful, the engineers simply don't understand his feedback or he simply can't be considered a top notch. He did very well on the Yamaha, most likely fits his riding style best, but if he can't manage to even keep it on 2 wheels while his teammate and the guy on the satellite are fighting for 5th...

I admit i also thought if one could handle the duc it should be cal, guess i was wrong...however it is good to see the ducs becoming more competive and ianone seems to be a goode choice for the factory bike next year.

Boring race

Crazy Joe definitely deserves that factory seat.

Crusty needs to sit the rest of the year out.

Ducati should let me ride his bike for the remainder of the year 

[The Architect]

Somebody please give Iannone a real bike.

I knew Marquez's string would end but 4th?  He's going to blow everyone away next race or go down trying.

Ummmm...

Iannone is on the factory bike right now Frank...

Crutchlow is on the satellite GP 13.

[koko64]

Its great he beat Dovi and gave MM some of it right back at him. He's got cojones.

[duccarlos]

Ummmm...

Iannone is on the factory bike right now Frank...

Crutchlow is on the satellite GP 13.

All 3, Crutchlow, Iannone and Dovi are on GP14s. If by real bike you mean something other than the Duc, then I would agree. I would love to see Crazy Joe on a factory Honda.

I'm pretty sure they put Cal on the Donkey since he's leaving.
His bike definitely had different bodywork from Iannone and Dovi.
