So... Zarco's manager has sounded off on French TV. No one at Yamaha has helped us. Rossi has actively blocked us.

The scientific name for banana is musa sapientum, which means “fruit of the wise men.” I'm having one right now.

I've seen the interview... You are not right. So don't threw bombs if you are not sure.

So Rossi is helping his fellow Yamaha riders.
Perhaps he has turned over a new leaf since last year, when he was instrumental in the removal of the tire on which his team-mate Vinales was dominating the early rounds of the 2017 championship, then proceeded to do something closely approaching absolutely nothing on the superior “new” tire himself.

I am not sure there are no bananas posting on the forum myself. There are certainly a few posters with a distinctly yellow hue to their posting.

Did Vinales do enough to get a grid penalty?

Only reporting what they said in FP4. If you can provide a link we can see for ourselves. My french is fine.
They said it, but I didn't get it...
They did say he is NOT a corporate type and was biting his lip until all the contract t's and i's were crossed n dotted.

To be fair to Mick what he wrote was exactly what Hodgson reported. However Hodgson did say it was a translation of the interview so something could have been lost.
Any chance you can let us know what was said???
On another note, by the sounds of it there'll be no Bradley Smith back at Tech 3.

Infrasonic should post the interview. It has, perhaps unfortunately, been quite a long time since I was in high school, but even so I can still read French passably well also.

This has all the markings of a classic. I'm totally psyched.

Amazing lap by Cal, thoroughly deserved. Amazing laps by Zarco and Lorenzo, putting their team mates to shame.
Yamaha are in trouble. They have no more excuses. Either Zarco is an enigma who is making the 2016 bike look much better than it is or Yamaha have made 2 consecutive bikes worse and worse. Last yr Vinales was blamed but now Yamaha themselves cannot hide, and the blame has to lie with both riders.
Who would have bet against Marquez not crashing and still being off the front row?

That's ........, the riders are only part of the equation. The crew chiefs and engineers are responsible for taking what the riders say and ask for and making the proper adjustments and developing the right parts to improve the motorcycle. The riders are just easy to point the finger at since they're the most visible part of the team, but make no mistake if the engineers are failing at their job the riders will suffer. You have no proof Vinales and Rossi are providing poor feedback to the team.
