Should pain everyone more that Yamaha refused to keep him because of Rossi.

Glad that Zarco got the pole, but damn, that puts SO much pressure on him tomorrow. The new surface giving such fast laptimes, must be playing hell with the techs trying to dial in the bikes. Even Lorenzo looked really good for a few moments, but he won't be able to do that consistently for the whole race. Happy to see Petrucci up there too. Factory Yamahas looking awful. What a ..... year for them. Seeing Zarco so much more competitive must be driving them crazy. Vinales must be really pissed.

Maybe someone can convince Zarco to go the hard front tomorrow, cos he wont last on the new surface on a soft.

No doubt really bruised up. He gave a thumbs up on the stretcher, so probably not a broken hip or pelvis. When you break one of those, you won't be giving a thumbs up. That's a world of pain. Hope to see him back tomorrow.
Rather sad attempt at a Yamaha ..., but that is to be expected.
No, they would be poison to Yamaha now.
Love to see him win, but I don't think his preferred tires will last the race as others have said.

I've had a 6 month belly full of their poncing about like a pair of z personalities, he's a fool and she strikes me as a gold digger, not forgetting they both come from families that seem to have made a career from divorces.

Maybe he needs a holiday :giggle: I thought at 1st, 2 or 3 busted ribs, cracked pelvis and 1 broken leg.

Huuuuuge disparity in the Yamahas!
I think rossi has invested heavily in Yamaha Europe .... the racing arm. Possibly even has a controlling interest. And all Yamaha do is supply. How else could you explain the monumental .... up that is the Yamaha factory racing team these days.

Rumor is Lin Jarvis is wetting his beak with 10% of the #46 t-shirt sales.

Remember when Rossi was following Viñalez around? That was fun.
It's a good thing they got that rookie Happly Sirafin, otherwise Rossi would be last Yamaha today.

Agree. He doesn't make himself easy to like when they put a mic in front of him, but nobody wants these guys injured. Any updates? I just finished watching Q.

That lap was magnificent, without that tiny error I'm thinking he breaks into 30s.
Zarco is good on worn tires, plus surface is smooth, my apprehension would be a crash before tires giving out. I haven’t decided if its the new surface or Mishitlin that is causing so many crashes.

This guy just doesn’t bow to pressure. Marc said he pushed, and he made two mistakes trying to get pole, that says a lot about Zarco's performance.
