Lorenzo with a monster pole position, 1:31.975, the fastest ever lap around the Bugatti circuit. Incredible stuff. First ever pole at Le Mans for him.

Marquez in P2 , Iannone P3.

Smith on the 2nd row. Rossi 3rd.


This has a real good chance looking like last race, but switch out Rossi for Jorge.

Lorenzo was .006 off idea lap.

I suspect Iannone will be proving his point throughout the season. Whoever is smart and balsy enough to sign the man will have a real talent.

Pedrosa languishing in P11, not good. The tires have been most detrimental to him. Something that should definitely improve at Yamaha (is that been confirmed?)

What's up with Baz? Pressure from home circuit?

Viñalez is already regretting his decision.

Crutchlow, haha, yeah you're the next best........, he wasn't even the best Brit today.

I don't think it is the tires for Pedrosa, that Honda is genuinely too difficult to ride for anyone not named Marc Marquez. Even with the winglets on the bike, the front end wants to come up. It can't accelerate out of corners without spinning the wheel because they can't get the electronics situation down. MM seems to be the only one who can get improvement from electronics adjustments. This is precisely why Stoner left. That bike got worse with the control ECU because they didn't listen to anything he told them.

Hasn't been confirmed. Just speculation. Could also be Yamaha stirring the pot to low ball Viñales.

I had the same thought. Remember when Lorenzo was parading in the media he was in talks to Ducati to only later sign a better contract with Yamaha? I was thinking maybe the rumor was 'placed' to help Viñalez along or like Lorenzo did, for Dani to get a better contract with HRC. Who knows. I'm actually hoping Dani would go to Yamaha to molest Rossi. But my fear is HRC may promote Cuntslow. The media are so easy to manipulate, hence why I call them Message Disseminators.

If that's true then Stoner had it happen with 2 manufacturers...poor ........
 
Has anyone heard a tire report. Is the new soft a race option for everyone.
 
Anyone got the weather forecast for Le Mans?
