Petrux apparently make the beast with two backsed up his hand during his crash.

Also read that Jorghey is asking Yamaha for a contract "as early as possible".

motogp is reporting multiple fractures in his right hand.

Where'd you read that?

Which one? I read both from my FB News Feed. Would need to look through it to find it again, but it's not beyond the realm of reality that Jorghey would want to make sure that he has the ride sown up before Rossi starts making demands.

The George thing.

His performance in Oz was not stellar. I think he doesn't like the Michelins. Apparently neither he or Rossi is in love with the 2016 bike.

It may be he wants a contract before he starts losing races to his team mate.

It's never his fault.

I wouldn't say it was disastrous. He ended up with the 4th fastest time of the week. It wasn't the dominant showing he had in Sepang, but it wasn't a complete wash. I'm still confused as to whether all the teams have been testing the latest bikes with the new spec ECU and tires.

Yes, yes and yes, although I've seen some of them switching back and forth to last years bike.

I know that at Sepang they were testing items individually, i.e. testing the spec ECU with the old bike or testing the new bikes with their own software. it seems that PI was truly the first time they focused on the whole package.

But back to Jorghey... I'm sure he's worried about starting the season slowly. He generally does not do well on newer tracks and no one knows what will happen with all the changes during races. Not to mention that Rossi and Jorghey ended last year at each other's throats. i think Jorghey is pushing for a contract to get a better understanding of where he stands on the team. Yamaha is very likely to offer Rossi a very nice deal simply because seeing Rossi in blue and yellow sells.

If testing is any indication of what will happen this year I think all the front runners from last year are nervous.

Vinales is strong...Barbera is the fastest Duc and that's 2 years old. The spec software and the Michelins have shaken things up and the Aliens will be racing unknown quantities.

It should be good. waytogo

After the results in Sepang and PI, I'm not as optimistic. Yes, I'm looking forward to possibly seeing Vinales and Suzuki mix it up. Also looking forward to seeing what Iannone can do, specially if he remains healthy.

Other than that, it seems more of the same. Talent is talent and all riders now have to deal with the same challenges. The Aliens didn't get to where they are solely because they have better engineers. It helps immensely, but eventually I fear we'll see the same progression we saw last year, hopefully with some battles like PI 2015 thrown in there.

Time will tell...about a month's time to be more precise. Wink
