So is it the weather or Spies, Hayden & Rossi are on something....and Lorenzo at the bottom time sheeet..
Your profile picture... Do motogp rider get tested for drugs? I know a rider that can use some.
Krop pointed out Rossi was on his hot lap when he lost .5 in the final sector. .5 would put him in what, fifth? Hope? A little bit?

Kropo musta been sipping some sherry!! Vales final sector time on final lap was his second best and consistent with his other final sector times.

Rossi's sector times standings:
T1 - 3rd
T2 - 11th
T3 - 6th
T4 - 11th
Putting things in perspective, he obviously needs to work on T2 & T4. So, what it is about T2 & 4 that slows him down? Considering his T1 time is pretty good, braking isn't the problem. Mid corner speed and/or drive out of the corner I'm thinking? Elongating the bike may slow down directional changes as well. Barbara must be enjoying this too much; can't blame him.

We already have a captain hindsight. And now

Do you think maybe he is having front end problems?

I was clearing things up for Cankles & MickD...
I think he's having problem w/corner exit & flipping the bike. Probably can't put the power down & flip the bike quick enough. I think T1 is a "front end zone", where heavy braking is done - so I don't think it's a front end problem.

Just having a little fun dude. Good info I just found that statement a little obvious.
But to your not thinking its a front end problem I disagree. The two sectors he is bad in are the faster sectors with lots of fast corners, and thats where he seems to have no front end feel. The last corner & the kink on the back straight must be a ..... on that pos. I would imagine the only two people who could take those corners correctly on the duc are CS and BarryMachine.
