It's looking pretty evenly matched, and that's promising for Sunday!

MM is indeed astonishing.

Interesting first two rows . . .

[Speeddog]

MM just plain stole pole position at the last minute.

I'm pretty sure Rossi's a bit ticked off!

[Speeddog]

Oh, yeah.

It's race day morning and it's raining in Brno, Moto3 warmup in progress.

More than 50% chance of rain until 2pm, where it drops to 37%.

I'm sure JLo is properly chuffed at that.  

[kopfjäger]

WUP just started, and it's raining hard.

Redding lit everybody up.

[koko64]

Crusty!

[scaudill]

Awesome race!

How to win friends..

He did have a good perspective on his race win after the birth of his first child  .
