I had to laugh...Yourghey towed Iannone into second place.

He was pissed. Cracks me right up.

Jorghey and Aleix were livid. I love Iannone's reaction "oh well".

[m9hundo]

A Esp over reacted on Bautista, Bautista was on a flying lap as well. And I don't know what JLo was saying to Iannone but the body language of JLo look like his panties were in a bunch.

[Needle99]

Should be a good race!

[scaudill]

I watched the MM qualifying lap.  About 43 seconds in it looks like he makes a correction to prevent a low side.  Any comments.  Sterling

[Needle99]

MM looks to beback confident with the bike. There were a few saves in his laps this weekend where he may have binned it at other times this season...

[kopfjäger]

 

Quaifying results: Rossi a dismal 7th. He's got his work cut out for himself this race.

I believe every race this season that he started in that row, he's been on the podium.

Crazy Joe following him round in practice to wind him up...

I believe every race this season that he started in that row, he's been on the podium. 

...and won twice.

Iannone really had the strategy nailed down for Q2. 

First run, he shadowed Aleix who was smokin' it and got 2nd, and Iannone 4th.
Second run, he left the pits in front of JLo, but let him by on the out lap, and then sat on his rear wheel for the hot lap and pipped Jlo by 0.017 sec.
Third run, AFAIK, he left the pits behind JLo, but sat on his rear wheel again, *matching* Jlo's hot lap time.

When there's a tie, the breaker is the next slowest lap.... and from the second run, Iannone was faster.

So Iannone follows JLO around twice, and qualifies ahead of him.   

I can understand JLo being a bit chapped by that.
Especially since Rossi handled him the same way on the first run at Motegi.
Still makes me laugh, though. 

JLo's getting pummeled on strategy, adaptability, and consistency.

WUP MM is on fire

[kopfjäger]

  1-4 was some classic shit! 

My boy Maverick brought it home 6th.

[Raux]

If you didnt watch that race....do it now...wow...amazing all the way through. Best gp race of the year so far. And that duc on the straights!!!

[lazylightnin717]

Best race I think I've ever seen.

Crazy Joe took a bird to the head 

Kopf's boy looked impressive out there
