It's a new surface, so could be high grip/high tyre wear (or higher than previously).

Why is MM93 so good around anti-clockwise circuits...?

He prefers left hand bends to rights.

I'd like to see Marc podium, if he wins the serenity of the Bagnaia box will disappear!

He does flat track for practice.

Not to say a lot of other riders don't do the same, so maybe it's just he inherently likes left turns more?!

I understand a lot of dirt track riding when he was younger, sliding the bike etc. so it's become a preference, more intuitive and natural for him. Same at Sachsenring.

Some prefer left hand, i do myself. Its normally MX and off road converts who prefer LH circuit, as throttle is a bit easier to control slides etc on the upper bar vs lower bar in a turn.

Acosta is incredible, what's a higher rating than Alien?

Is anyone getting the Austin live feed on TNT sports or discovery plus app?
I’ve got some Fabio Q documentary on and now one about pecco, with the first session being Moto gp FP1 at 1910. But Moto gp fp1 should be at 1045 Austin time which should have been earlier this afternoon I think?

They keep missing sessions off the app, last event they missed the wet Friday ‘evening’ session off. Last year, they missed off the Moto gp qualifying in Oz ffs.

It’s so confusing and no one ever replies to emails or phone calls to BT etc.

Well it’s not even that! The app and Bt sport say Love Moto GP FP1 which should have happened at 1045 Austin time, but the actual program is now Moto 3 ‘P1’ ie the Moto 3 second session, first being just ‘free practice’ this morning.
So it looks like they have not shown ANY of the morning sessions, for any classes, and are just showing this afternoon stuff live. scratchchin

It’s like they’ve already starting to faff about with content despite Liberty onky being here 5 minutes! biglaugh

Where are you watching to see the morning session, can I ask? It’s not been on Sky nor Disco plus app?

It was on the Sky channel on my box, recorded fine.

20 mins to go, Foggia top Kalex, bit of a turn up. Boscoscuro seem to have adapted better to the Pirelli tyres, ignoring the Chinese connection, they're both Italian companies, coincidence? scratchchin

ETA: ignoring the fact Canet is on Kalex. No idea why I thought he was at SpeedUp this season.

I got really pissed off with the BSB coverage on Discovery+ last year. Bits missing or mislabelled. Was just generally a PITA to find what I wanted to watch on my laptop. Search function was a joke.

Weird right, would be a bizarre choice

Martin put in a hell of a lap there. Acosta showing the other KTM riders up. Great effort from MM and Maverick too.

The track remains bumpy as hell.
