German GP?...with spoilers

[SpikeC]

 I'm guessing Rossi, the tight track will make him and Maquez stay close together, and I think that Rossi still has a thing or two to teach marky.

[ducpainter]

I don't think Rossi cares much where Marquez finishes as long as Rossi is on a higher step of the podium than George.

That isn't to say he'll let Marc get away with a move like in Assen though. After all you have to keep the kids in their place.

^rumpus time is over

Tend to think the Hondas will do well at the ring,always has been their track,but then we have Rossi.Me thinks Rossi the Impaler will be at the pointy end,turn 13,14 great overtaking spot.mature Joe might resort back to maniac Joe ,this track perfect for it!

Great qualifying for MM especially, but also for Pedro & JLo. MM destroyed his old track record. 

Rossi on 2nd row...needs to get ahead of the Ducs to hang with the front row guys.

[m9hundo]

Rossi needs a blistering start to jump the front runners

[Speeddog]

MM ran 11 laps under 1:22 in FP3, and 7 laps at ~1:21.5 in FP4.
Pedrosa, JLo and Rossi all seem to be hovering around 1:22 flat, as far as any consistent pace.

I predict MM will make a break, followed by Pedrosa, leaving Lorenzo and Rossi to duke it out with the Andreas and Bradley and Pol for the last spot on the podium.

Happy to see Redding with some serious pace, dunno if they've found a bike setup or the proper adjustment of the nut between the seat and the bars.

The '14 chassis and whatever other tweaks the MM camp have found seem to have gotten the package to behave close to what Marc wants.
Crutchlow pointed out that MM was on a '14 MM chassis (one of what, 3 different ones they had for '14?) which was not the same as a '14 Pedrosa chassis, nor what anyone else was running.

[thought]

So it seems that Cal held up Dani at one point which pissed Dani off and he wound up punching his tank.  They then handed Cal a bill for it haha

Hoping that Rossi makes it past the slower guys tomorrow or that might be a pretty big issue.  If he doesnt I'm not sure about his chances at a podium.

Dani really is a turd.

[Boltznnuts]

Haha so Dani finally shows a bit of aggro towards Cal,what a save from Bradley.hell fell out me chair watching,bring on the race.

[The Don]

Typical snooze fest race

[thought]

Typical snooze fest race

Only a bit at the end but I'd say it was a fun race to watch, especially during the first half.

[duccarlos]

Good to see that MM's truly back. Also good to see the Turd getting back his confidence. HRC has nothing to lose now that they're basically assured that they won't win the championship.

What I did not like... Dovi. He's usually consistent if nothing else. No idea what the hell is happening to him. Crazy Joe is gunnin for the #1 spot for sure

[Triple J]

My prediction wasn't too bad, other than Pedro beating Rossi. 

MM is back for sure. Watch out in the second half. He needs help to the championship, but he'll likely grab a lot of points regardless.

Great race by Pedro. Good to see him back up to speed as well.

[Needle99]

Championship really needs the ducs in there on the pidium for the first 3 races after the break. With MM winning. Not going to happen, but would make the few races potentially very tight. Especially if there is a Rossi dnf.
