Lots of exciting action!
One factory KTM qualified on front row, the other on the 2nd row.
MM parked on the racing line in Q2, impeding Rins, who then justifiably railed him hard from the inside on the next corner.
Swift justice.
MM then went out on slicks on a partly wet track and grabbed pole by 1.1 sec.
Then did another lap to increase that gap to 2.5 sec.
Impressive riding, but the 2nd lap was absolutely brain-dead strategy.
His lap actually made Puig smile and act human for a brief instant, honestly that was the biggest surprise yet.

Puig and Takeosan were in as much amazement as everyone else watching.

‘Twas more fun watching the safety cars slide for 40 minutes than the bikes turning laps.

The only action was late after Rins ran out of rubber and Jack overtook him. Excitement lasted for about 1/2 a lap. I hope the Ducs are a bit more competitive in Austria.

It was a cracker. Randy said it was nearly as good as his save.

Just watched the race on MotoGP site. Bit of a sleeper.
Big excitement was walking up Sunday and realizing my cable company has totally wiped Bein from existence. I couldn’t buy it if I wanted. They said it cost to much and they were done. Oh well. Might be the nudge I need to scrap cable all together.
Looking forward to unveiling of Dayton 765 LE at Silverstone!

Best part of that w/e was Rins and Marquez qualifying. Snoozer the rest of the time. Marquez can totally demolish Ducati with win @ Red Bull Ring.
