Joe Roberts 5th Moto2 FP1 0.091 gap to leader.

Excellent. I’ve been following him, I hope he does well this year. He seems pretty happy with the goings on, and is getting a handle on the international thing.

Backs it up in FP2 with Position 1!!!!!!

"The night had truly fallen by the time the intermediate class basked in the floodlights of Qatar and it placed the spotlight firmly on the American Racing team. Joe Roberts, who had already showed fine speed in the first practice session, went on to improve the all time lap record in FP2, dropping to the mid 1:58s and remaining unchallenged for the rest of the session."

John Hopkins is working with Joe as his rider coach. Getting off the KTM has really sparked some fire in him.

And the hits keep coming:

Reportedly those zones cover the vast majority of Italians in the paddock.

Looks like MotoGP may be in trouble for awhile.

"Crash.net" is reporting Dorna looking at Indy to maybe replace COTA. Austin declared "local disaster" banning gatherings of more than 2,500 folks. Ban is 7 days at a time, renewable. They ave said they'll look at individual events, but with so many Italian MotoGP connnections & the country on lockdown...WOW, just WOW.

COTA rescheduled to Nov 13-15
Valencia the week after that.

Argentina is now the 1st event for the big boys, on April 19.

This may all change in the next 10 minutes. Or not.

The Jerez race along with the French GP have been postponed / canceled.  Italian GP at end of May is questionable.

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.
