The margin for error is so small in these conditions. I like Rossi's chances, but it wont be easy for anyone. Concentration levels will have to be very high. Hopefully it'll be a dry race.
 
Marquez stealing the scooter to get back to pits was a definite highlight!

It was hilarious! Turns out the scooter belongs to the photographer from the Lcr team. Crutchlows response was to send Marquez the bill(jokingly)

Nice pole for Dovi, i really like him. Lorenzo nowhere to be seen so i dont expect him to contend tomorrow. Except for a huge weather change or something.
He said the track was like driving on ice.

Did anyone see the moto2 free practice? They changed to slicks for.moto2. They were sliding all over the place. Super stoked for tomorrow!
 
I reckon the Hondas will struggle tomorrow. Rossi will do good if Iannone doesn't take him out.
The Pony (Iannone) would have to pull an MM from Moto2, since he is starting from the back for running over JLo. Sh!t, he'd have to get by Crutchlow without them both going down. Now that ain't going to happen. :lol:
 
Iannone actually ended up with some good options to torpedo tomorrow. He's got Lorenzo and Pedrosa relatively near and struggling. Hes got viñales if he wants to go young. Heck with enough effort he might even be able to take out petrucci on another ducati and get bonus points.
 
I wouldn't rule out Lorenzo just yet. All the top riders have struggled in practice and qualifying, then made adjustments in warmup session and performed well in the race.
 
Good of Valentino to give Dovi a tow to set pole, Vale didn't mind as long as he was on the front row

Weirder things have happened.
 
Stoner's just trolling at this point. Dude should put his money where his mouth is or GTFO.


Not trolling, full article here as the quote you posted was taken from a longer article outlining the changes in the sport and the future

The part you posted

When Jorge joins Ducati from Yamaha for next season, of course at the beginning it's going to be very tough for him. He's had so many years on the Yamaha, which is a very, very different machine. And the Japanese and Italian styles, essentially, are very, very different.

It will take a little bit of time to adjust, there's no doubt about that. But we know Jorge, we know how he just keeps slogging things out. He's very, very smart, he'll figure things out and then we'll do our best to work for the direction he wants as well, and we want to get as much direction from Jorge as we can.

I think having someone else with his amount of expertise and his level of riding will really help Ducati extract more from the bike.

i mototaxi'd for F1 here in Austin. You're in no super hurry to get the F1 drivers back since the car will take a while to get back anyway. If they wreck in any way you take them to the doctor. No matter how minor. But i've been told in Motogp the riders really want you to hurry. I've wondered if there was a rule against just handing the bike over the motogp rider and saying "you just take it!" guess not.
 
Why is nobody saying anything bout chickenshit ?

Lol, I didn't want to bring it up earlier because I wanted to see if all the members that were hating on Rossi at Mugello would say something. But of course, they're quiet as a mouse.

Predictable , now if Rossi had followed Dovi to pole there'd be a Spanish inquisition lol:eek:
 
And you to sooks wonder why you cop so much flack sometimes :p



Now, here is that horrid Marquez fellow stealing some poor innocent saps bike




Actually, while MM taking the bike was funny, watch the guy with the stretcher at the start who also takes a tumble

It only confirmed what we already knew. This is an anti-Rossi board and many here simply hate everything he does. They're threatened when he performs well so they look for something exaggerate and ..... about.

OMG Rossi got a tow from MV, what a coward!! He's a POS that isn't fast enough and has to use a tow.

Rossi tows Dovi to pole position.... crickets.
 
Hey kids ............. fwiw some people may well have lives, some may not have seen the so called tow, some may have been having ... with their partners rather than hands, ...., some may even have been at Shovel's club

Not everyone sits and watches coverage of practice, not all countries get free to air coverage for us cheapskates and not all wish to contribute to the DORNA keeping things yellow coffers.

Give it time and you will get your answers as people come on and give their two bobs worth, but in reality not many whinged about the tow that you guys are so fascinated by but many made mention that it was not the first such occurrence where MV had been in front and seemingly towing VR. What supposedly happened in practice, is that Dovi's virginity now gone with a tow from the great one?

Oh, and I have not seen anything aside from a few moment or crash highlights and reading timesheets


EDIT TO ADD:
So an anti-Rossi board is an issue, but pro-Rossi boards and antianythingbutRossi boards are ok?

Make up you farking mind did Rossi tow Dovi or as you have said here , Dovi to Rossi?

Hell, when I check Dovi is on pole but this is MotoVR so rules being flexible, that may well change :p

There is going to be some seriously piss off people when Valentino wins the championship this year and next year. This is as good as done. You will hear only cricket chirp here. I can not wait for this day.
