Too soon to predict. Even if the Hondas work out the remaining kinks for 201 there's a possibility that the Michelins will (likely) get chewed up by the Hondas and the Yamahas may continue to be as competitive as they were this year, tho, I'm predicting that the guys like Rossi who thrive with a really hard front - are not going to be happy with the Michelins. I could foresee a lot of crashes from MM whilst in the process of adapting to the Michelins. The Yamahas should continue to be more forgiving on tires.

It's early but it looks from FP2 that Yamaha has the best pace...
8 laps in the 1'31 for Lorenzo and Rossi (Lorenzo is .5s faster in half of his laps in the 1'31)
6 laps in the 1'31 for Marquez (Odd that he didnt improve from FP1)
4 laps in the 1'31 for Pedrosa and Iannonne
As I said, early to judge, but if the race was tomorrow, Lorenzo would be in very good shape to win!
Let's see how it shapes up as Lorenzo and the Hondas aim more for a fast lap time while Rossi works on race pace... Anything is possible eh?

I think FP2 was interesting. After a long time I saw shuffling of the top order. Final laps by DanI and ianonne looked nice. Checked to see whether Iannone was getting towed by 99. Turned out he was ahead of him
Assuming they are at top speed on the last straight
318kph = 88.33 meter per second
Rossi is currently .364s behind
That would be 32.15 meters

Whoops sorry APEX, I forgot to say grid slot
Or how many meters back does #46 start from pole
Nice calculation of the on the on track gap after a lap.

Awesome Gaz.
What I really like about that, is how it shows how MM rotates the rear of the bike under braking.
If you compare him and Dovi, Dovi starts to do it, but then gets back to center.
MM on the other hand does not.
Christ, the amount of confidence needed to do that is incredible.

I know we have all been over this, but I just have to say again how disgusted I am that the riders have been gagged. This is the sport they spend their lives in. My rage reigns supreme. Carmelo is a spineless snake full of venom.
