Dovi

Moto 2
Bradl
Smith
Iannone

125

[egor110]

gp- stoner, dovi, pedrosa, would love to see one of the suzukis in the top 3 though.
moto2- marquez, iannone, bradl
125- zarco, terol, salom

[996 sps]

Stoner is going to kick ass, on top of his game and beaten eveyone else before they go out, hope Simon and Dovi bang fairings a bit for us, hey who knows prehaps Tommy Hill and Hopper will turn up on their BSB bikes and give us a race.

Who cares, moto 2 and 125 is where it's at.

Yep good point, but the appeal with Moto GP is you just never know, like those last 3 laps and it started raining last week, but the 500s and 990s just seemed to produce a great race each time.

You cant just say that, we need pictures!!!!!

[FourWheelDrift]

Bradley is out with a broken collar bone after a fall in FP1 due to the lack of flags being shown by marshals at a slippy section of the track. Marquez also fell and sat out the rest of the day.

€15,000 fine for the organisers.

[996 sps]

What a shame for Bradley, sounds like an unprofessional set up in Sepang.

Stoner kicked ass there last year on the Ducati, Rossi must be questioning what's happening.

Hopper out !!!!

[996 sps]

Gutted for Hopper, enjoyed qualifying looks like it could be close, well done Hayden would like to see someone take the fight to Honda.

What a turnaround of Manufactures Yamaha at the back Honda at the front, forgot it was Rossi who won here last year.

Oh dear. Hopper out, Lorenzo substituted by Nagasaki (or whatever, Spies less than 100% fit & Hondas in top 3 on grid.

Another minimalist grid then with a boring race to follow? I do hope not.

Roll on the CRT races then-even though not full-fat prototypes at least there should be a decent grid full.

With Bradley smith breaking his collar bone ,
now makes 3 riders from Tech 3 to break collar bones this year !

Mike De Meglio worried now ?

Great effort by Colin
