Qatar Test

So far Marc is chillin at the top...let's see for how long.

And Vinales is back at the top sitting right behind him in 2nd.

Stunned at his and the Suzuki's performance thus far.
Maverick yesterday was 1m 55.436s. And Iannone just went close to him a la 1m 55.535. Same as Lorenzo yesterday but lower by .027 seconds than his best laptime yesterday.
That means Iannone is very slow today :p
 
Official Qatar MotoGP records:
Best lap:
Jorge Lorenzo SPA Yamaha 1m 53.927s (2008)
Fastest race lap:
Casey Stoner AUS Ducati 1m 55.153s (2008)

I don't see them ever getting near the best lap record at all.

Fastest race lap might be possible, but probably not this year...maybe 2017 or 2018.

So. Aprilia bought the ZeroShift transmission.
And it would appear that the lower winglets aren't for cooling after all (Ducati deleted them and Honda added them nowhere near vents)[/QUOTE


If Honda finds a real world advantage using wings - look for the ban to be magically lifted for whatever reason.


Hate missing out on this stuff but WIFI sucks in Asian hotels.
 
I walked into a Yamaha dealer today to buy an oil filter Rossi pics and merchandise everywhere, I asked the guy(who was proudly wearing a doctor shirt)shouldn't there be at least something of Lorenzos? He is after all the world champion he said to me Lorenzos a prick I said maybe he is but he didn't punt anyone off the track last year and then start sprouting conspiracy theories because he wasn't fast enough. I'm thinking my oil filter might be marked up a fair bit.

Totally forget to mention as he was looking for my oil filter I was looking around the counter and as he came back I spotted the VR dummy I looked at him and said oh a Rossi Dummy that's ....... ironic :p

Wings, wings, wings.. Everywhere is wings....

So far, Duc's have wings. Yamaha have theirs, and their wings are huge.. Tech 3 is trying out some wings now.. And Honda is trying them now...

Wings, the new black.
