MotoGP 2011: QATAR

It looks like they are still battling 20+ mph winds, but supposed to be down around 8 mph for race time.
 
I won't say a thing until the race. Doubt anybody has been sandbagging. Hell, no one in Ducati can afford sandbagging now while they are focussing on a base setup much less sort their mysterious technical issues. Could be a one off, given that Barbera is all of a sudden so high up the order. It cannot have been a collective ploy of Ducati to have Barbera and Vale fooling around at tests.
 
Rossi 5th fastest and the boppers are ecstatic.



Shows how much expectations have been lowered.

Seriously though, I am pleased. We need Rossi battling near the front. The more, the merrier.
 
No its not.. but that is something you would say.

That's why I said it.

Anyway, Nickys down the order, so you got bragging rights; but at least he looks cool.

Stoner did 5 laps below 1.56 all of which would have given him the fastest time. Would see him 2-2.5sec clear after the first 5 laps.



No doubt he will be blamed for making the racing boring rather than the rest of the field being blamed for not being able to keep up.

FP1 has never been good to him, we just have to hope the others don't pick up to much time while he plays his normal game of catch up.
 
You got under my skin there, mate

I'm such a "moralfag".

Anyway, for anybody who has paid for the video pass, why do we need to watch Kawasaki commercials before the video plays?
 
Well Pedro had a problem running the soft rear so he wasn't sandbagging. It looks like most of them were running tire set ups they didn't like, except for Stoner, he says that he's at 80% with the bike lmao. I'm sure Pedro is gonna get closer to Stoner and Nicky and Ben will also get a bit faster.
 
VR- P5............time to start garnishing that feces for many of you.

Funny thing happens when it counts eh?

Can't talk .... about Nicky man.. He's one of my favorite

. I really hope tomorrow has one of his miracle break-thru set ups. This 800 .... just ain't cut out for him.
 
guys we should try and keep an eye on what tires they're on.



Stoner - Hard tires

Spies - hard tires

Rossi- hard tires

Lorenzo - Soft tires



I could be wrong



Lorenzo is on soft tyres, because with the hard he can't get the traction he wants!!



What about medium tyres?? I ain't hear about them... No one pratice with them??
