  1. ...Er, there's MotoGP this weekend... :tongue:

    Marc Marquez is half a second quicker than Lorenzo in FP3.

    Ducatis seem to be running more competitively this weekend too, there's a lot of talk of them being closer to the front.

    FP3

    #2 big thumpa, May 18, 2013
  3. Go Cal!
     
    #3 Chris, May 18, 2013
  4. Q2 Dovi 3, MM1 ... VR 8 .... great news for all !
     
    #4 kope999R, May 18, 2013
  5. Have the Ducati team made useful improvements? looks a bit like it to me.
    Steve
     
    #5 Birdie, May 18, 2013
  6. Nice one Dovi and Ducati. The track suits the bike. Could be a podium tomorrow as rain is expected and hopefully the duke won't chew the tyres as much.
     
    #6 yets, May 18, 2013
  7. fingers crossed Steve. Nice to see Lorenzo acknowledge Marquez post qualifying - hope Bradley shows a bit better in the race this time.

    2. Jorge Lorenzo (Spa) Yamaha 1:33.217
    3. Andrea Dovizioso (Ita) Yamaha 1:33.603
    4. Cal Crutchlow (GB) Yamaha 1:33.609
    5. Stefan Bradl (Ger) Honda 1:33.634

  10. As i said before . The stint at duc fucked up 2 procedures . Ducati s development and VR. Gracefull retirement that set in when JL came along ..
     
    #10 kope999R, May 18, 2013
  11. Cal is touch and go as to whether he's racing tomorrow. Has a small fracture in his right leg and is being checked over tonight and using warm-up as a gauge. Boo!

    On another note, hasn't Rossi's race-pace been a lot better than his qualifying?
     
    #11 yets, May 18, 2013
  12. Roll on the race's :smile:

    MM will be champ this year ?
     
    #12 Imola, May 18, 2013
  13. Smith's best qualifying so far this season, 8th ain't bad at all for a rookie. Cal's getting a bit too vocal about contractual affairs for his own good. He's needs to shut it.
     
    #13 figaro, May 18, 2013
  14. If it rains, does that mean that Rossi and Dovi will have a race, I do hope so.

    Which will be nice.
     
    #14 Greyman, May 18, 2013
  15. Exciting stuff. Gonna rain here so I can justifiably spend all afternoon watching it. Did Rossi ever put the Duke on the front row?
     
    #15 gliddofglood, May 19, 2013
  16. dovi for the win if it rains !!!!
     
    #16 big thumpa, May 19, 2013
  17. Hopkins has got to have false teeth.
    They look like really cheap plastic. And he talks as if they have been poorly fitted.
     
    #17 gliddofglood, May 19, 2013
  18. Wet race - brilliant. Cal in with a chance?
     
    #18 Wrecked, May 19, 2013
  19. waw , what a race with many a great performance and well rewarded finish for all concerned... DP, CC, MM, DOvi, all did great job! whoops , forgotten VR... :) all top players performed magnificantly ... championship wide open...
     
    #19 kope999R, May 19, 2013
