Assen TT - Rnd 8 2015 - SPOILERS

Halfway through FP4, notice that Cal hasn't binned it yet and here's the proof!

1:33.167 by Rossi in FP3

Someone is almost certain to get into the 1:32's in quali

WOOO! FINALLY!!!!!

Wow. Vale over a second fasfer than previous pole record. Jorge in 8th.

He's not letting go of the championship points that easily! And Suzuki is just blowing my mind and the asparagus brothers.

I got a PM from Heisman over two weeks ago that Rossi would win Assen.


Looks like Lorenzo and Marquez swapped bikes.

How can Melandri be 4 seconds off the pace? Were the World Superbikes this off on the GP?

I've said it before, this is VR's title to lose.

And this is his race win to lose.


Note: without that ........ qualifying tire, the top three would have been M1, RCV, RCV, that is 2 of the top 3 on POS HRC products. Poor Marc, he really just looks shackled out there.

GO MARC MARQUEZ FOR THE WIN!

The chains of oppression are keeping MurderMac down.

I'm looking forward to his likely, amazing start where he threads the needle to take P1 going into T1 with all of the grace and finesse of Michelle Kwan on ice skates.

Hard tyre race. Valentino will win barring mishap.

The interest is whether Jorge is any better on the tyre than he was in the early season races. If he finishes 2nd or 3rd as Valentino has been doing when conditions favoured Jorge's tyre the championship is still on.

I just can't be a Rossi fan. I can't. Same reason I can't drive a BMW. .... that guy!

BMW= overrated
