QATAR 2012: RACE

...., Hayden now in reverse. Rossi may catch him at current speeds.
 
Go J-Lo!



Hayden recovered from ? Holding P8, right behind Bradl and just ahead of Bau.
 
Rossi 57.2, much faster than Bautista, but not nearly enough time to catch him.



Dovi has closed to 0.1 of Crutchlow.
 
Hayden comfortably faster than Bradl - needs to get it done!



Edit - P6!
 
Congratulations to the Spanish Butter Hammer. Fantastic ride. Stoner looks shaken. Pedrobot made a pass on the brakes!!



Cal won the battle of the Tech 3s, and Hayden won an important battle in the end.



Disaster for Rossi and Spies.



CRTs did really well. The extra fuel helped them stay on the lead lap. They aren't much worse than the satellite bikes, and they've only just begun with the development work.
 
Is it about time for ducati to wise up and give hayden some real support. Give the guy a bike and he shows you how good he can be. If they spent as much time tayloring the bike to hayden as they do to rossi they might get somewhere.

And you are saying that as an insider in the Ducati garage?
 
In no order...



Stoner = Lewis Hamilton of Moto GP. Now needs to go slower to go quicker at the end of the race.



Lorenzo = Very very impressive.



Crutchlow = Good ..... Beating Dovi is about all he can aim for really. And he did it.



Pedrosa = .... knows. Props for beating Stoner.



Bradl = Impressive.



Rossi = ..... Really. I don't care what is up, he should be up there with Hayden and beating Barbera. End of.



Hayden = Pretty good. Hard to be chuffed about a 6th but yeah. Probably where bike is.



CRT's = Not too shabby....
 
No moaning from stoner. Said he was very pleased with speed and setup, but suffered from armpump. nice race, but still ... no moto 2 show...
 
Rossi about Barbera's time:



"We will see what the positions are on Sunday night, when the race is over,"



 
Great race with battles in the front and mid pack. Awesome ride from Cal, Dovi is no slouch. I knew Barbera wasn't getting round Nicky. What happened to the pie man dude is gonna have his hands full with Cal and Dovi.
 
Pretty good race, Wonder what happened to Mr Stoner, looked like a shagged the rear tyre a bit ? And would someone usher me to a website with some good pictures of the race.
