Copied from Crash.net

"Marc crashed on Saturday while he was practicing dirt track. Unfortunately the rider just behind him hit his hand,” Dr Mir told MotoGP.com. “This caused a severe displacement of the fifth [little] finger of the left hand."

Ouch. That guy is probably feeling really guilty right about now unless his last name is Lorenzo.

Told you so. It makes no sense that they would have budget to race.

From Motogp site:

Quote
Rossi’s Movistar Yamaha teammate Jorge Lorenzo addressed the helmet and tyre issues that have affected him in each race this season, stating that while they may have been minor, they have played their part in his poor start to the season: “When you are at a very high level even small problems don’t stop you fighting for the race, but when you have problems and are slower you cannot fight for the race win. When I don’t have problems, I will be able to fight for the race win.”

I don't want to pile it on Jorge here, since we do enough of that as a group, but "helmet" issues??  I seemed to miss this excuse when it was given.  Anyone want to fill me in.

You'reghey said that the reason he did so poorly at Qatar was 'someone' made a mistake installing the padding in his helmet and claimed it came loose and was obstructing his vision.

Made me smile that....

Get the feeling they are trying to stop him from signing elsewhere.....

I do not think Pedro will be going anywhere, and will still be there next season as a Marquez support.
Honda are really hoping Miller lives up to his potential, so they have some extra future proofing.

Would love to see Stoner v Marquez v Rossi though...
Stoner clearing out early, and then the other two hunting him down. 2016 Aus GP would be fun then, he would be used to the bike again by the time he hits his favourite track....

Interested to see how the Suzuka 8 hr ride goes....

MSMA looking at changes that would remove Ducati's concessions for 2016, dry wins or no:

https://motomatters.com/news/2015/05/04/msma_proposes_introducing_concession_poi.html

I've got mixed feelings -- clearly the GP15 is a competitive bike and it's appropriate to pull the concessions at some point soon, but personally I think I'd rather see the restrictions on testing & in-season engine changes become a bit looser for all the manufacturers. And, quite appropriately, I bet Ducati will argue that there is a set of agreed upon and recently-updated rules, they've been playing under them, so it's not good for them or any other "upcoming" manufacturers to change them several times a year.

What Livio fails to discern is the true meaning of the word competitive.

Until a bike is capable of winning races like the Honda and the Yamaha then it isn't truly competitive.

Seems like Gigi has gotten close enough to worry them and they just want to put a stop to the bikes development.

^  This. It almost sounds like sour grapes to me.

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.

Seems the bike is capable of winning races, just maybe not the current riders. It sure looked competitive in the first 3 rounds. Dovi in 2nd, and Ianonne in 5th overall.

I don't think either of Ducati's riders are second class J.

I think the bike needs to take another step or two.
