Not for wet run off areas, but for the small lakes that used to be gravel traps which are slowly emptying across the track at several corners, they tried to clear the "lakes" but were beaten unfortunately, forecast is for much the same today I think.................... Sob..........
McPhee with a well earned second!! So close to had win. Awesome start to 2017 season for the young Scot Kent starting closer to his fring so let's hope for a great race
Yep good MGP, and Zarco was so unlucky. Dovi punish for a win in dodgy conditions...!! What a ride by Alex Esp!! First non factory home?! Ianone was very unlucky too...and how slow are those Hondas! Could be a decent season again
Fantastic racing wasn't it. Someone tried to tell me Rossi was past it on Saturday. Lol Cant wait for Argentina now although vinales looks like he's going to take some stopping!
Redding on a 2016 Pet on a 2017, Honda have a lot to do, tech 3 new boys look good and as bradders said Alex Esag great ride.
Vinales looks so loose. Great to watch. See gorgeous is getting a social media roasting today...:anguished:
