Petrucci gone well a couple of times at Silverstone and decent in the wet. Bear in mind, I only predict Petrucci to be up there if, on a scale of 1-10, it's wet as .....
Said at the start of the thread though, Marquez due a win and getting one over the Ducs.
 
Well how smart is it for ROSSI to get in to change tires with 3 min left ? It was mathematically impossible for him to do another flying lap. Dead in the egg. At that level to make that kind of mistake....he stupidly made one lap to many before deciding to change the tires
 
So the race tomorrow is at 11.30 local time preceding moto3 & moto2 because of safety issues with the track.

Kind of get the feeling moto 2 & 3 won't be happening. If it isn't going to be safe for GP later in day, it won't be any safer for the others.
Easier for TV to cancel moto2/moto3 than the GPs.
 
Rabat with breaks in Tibia and Femur after being collected

Surgery successful

I’m curious how you believe Marquez had a “stupid” Q session? He’s second row. However, Rossi did in fact did have a rather disastrous session. What a dumb-assed post.

Zinging the old man is ground-level low-hanging fruit, dude. He's hardly known for his qually skills.

BUT...

When MM, the king-of-qually, only manages to get in one run - AND - in that one run ONLY 5 hot laps - AND - 2 of those "hot laps" were OVER 18 seconds slower than Jorge - AND - 2 more of those "hot laps" were 2+ seconds slower than Jorge - AND - his best "hot lap" is nearly a full second slower than Jorge... THAT is a stupid, dumb-assed, disaster for Marky-Marc!!

Blinded the yellow rose color glasses as always. .... track, crap weather & leading the championship, why take risk? And when I say .... track. Who the hell repave a world class track & not grade the surface first? There's more bumps on that track than a teenagers face.
 
The truth is injuries aside Marquez is the only one with something to lose. Nobody else can win the championship at this stage, he can only lose it. So he took as little risks as possible.

I stopped watching during fp4 because I don’t enjoy watching riders crash in dangerous conditions.

Rossi has actually admitted in a Crashnet interview that they screwed up the timing, saying it took a couple of seconds too long to change to the new tire, but I wouldn’t blame either of them for being cautious in the conditions with the doubtful safety of the track in general, MM most likely because of the risk to his championship, Rossi because he hasn’t got to be a still competitive fairly injury free 39 year old premier class gp bike rider by risking unsafe track conditions for doubtful gain. It seems questionable whether they should even be holding the race.

The resurfacing has been so embarrassing, even my nan noticed how bumpy the track is. A friend pointed out that a BSB race had only 7 of the 23 riders finish at this circuit. Imagine building anything in England and not allowing for rain.
 
Yeah so looks like its off. ...... So since we are talking british ...... hotest chic in britain ..... Lucy Worsely or Alice Roberts!!??

WTF?

You think I'm a Rossi fan.

How cute.
 
Embarrassing..... Its England and known for its completely .... wet weather. Design/grade/improve the track accordingly, its had water problems for a long time. Maybe run the English round at a different track that can deal with the wet weather better?
