JLo looking tough this weekend. Only one to get into the 1:37s (lap record) during qualifying. He seems to be the only one that has sector 4, especially T13, of the track figured out.

MM not too bad either, putting the bike in the #2 spot. Looks like he's struggling a bit though, as the bike is sliding a lot. I don't think he can keep that up for an entire race.

Prediction:

JLo
Rossi
MM
Iannone

No real surprises other than the Ducs didn't really show up today.

Iannone got a terrible start and Dovi had an offtrack and ended up finishing 8th after working his way back from last.

Kind of boring really.

Not the most exciting race, but that's how JLo likes it. Pretty good on MM to hold on for second.

So boring. I hate watching Lorenzo win like that.

BORING!!!!!!!!

There's nothing worse than seeing Lorenzo get a good start and then watching him do lap after lap.

The only hope for the race was to have Rossi catch up to Marc.

I hope the coming races aren't anything like this one.

Even before the start of the weekend you could tell Jorghey was ready for this race. It was definitely boring, but great if you are into watching someone just put together perfect lap after lap.

Dovi messed up bad at the beginning. Could have been fighting for 3rd or 4th.

Cal did well again. He'said definitely found a good pace. Should be fighting with Iannone the whole season.

Well JLo renewed his contract with yamaha so maybe he wanted to show he is still a world class racer  Undecided, it shouldn't take the signing of a contract for someone to show up and race. Plus there was all kinds of publicity leading up to the race with him being inducted into the walk of fame or something like that. Otherwise all in all boring like the "fight of the century" last night.  A good exhibition but nothing worth raising eyebrows over.

Not exactly...

Lin Jarvis just put an end to the speculation that You'reghey would be released before the two year contract he signed in '14 expired.

All the factory seats are occupied for at least one more year.

I just meant that any prolonged injury or issue could shake things up, however unlikely such an injury is.  I mean, a rider could discover that they are lactose intolerant, for example.  Roll Eyes

...and at that level lactose intolerance might be an issue.

Apparently helmet foam is.

Hard tellin' not having a clue what it takes to be there

Stoner's lactose issue was no BS. Seems like it was handled poorly on all sides, but Ducati especially did a poor job (offering JLo twice Stoner's salary while he was out).

Why do we continue to beat that dead horse? Anyway, whatever Jorghey's motivation was, he made the most of it. He dominated the weekend as he has not done since Valencia when he knew the championship was over.

Watching Dovi trying to come back from last place makes MM look that much freakish. Granted, Dovi is not the type of rider to bull his way through the field, but it's just so much entertaining to watch MM do it and get back up to at least top 5.
