Honda are the only one playing the OPEN game as it was intended.


like I said before
The Honda open class bikes are 16mph slower than the factory bikes
The others Manufacturers open class bikes are 4mph slower than the factory bikes


quite right that Honda are not happy

I call bullst. The rules are the rules. There are no 'spirit of the rules'. Honda didn't do their homework and are now paying for it.

• edit to add*

You'd think they'd have learned from making the exact same mistake in Moto3 over the last two years.

Sorry, I wasn't clear what I was referring to. I don't doubt your figures for a minute, I was referring to the 'Honda understandably being annoyed' bit.

Cal will be miffed. He looked exhausted and he's still 11 places down on Dovi.

I don't think Cal used the soft tyre which explains a big part of the time difference.

I really want EsA to do well this year. I can see him being on pole tomorrow and it'd be great to have him causing chaos to the formbook on Sunday night.

[obscene]

EsA might be on for a win the way he's going. Seeing all the top boys mid pack this race could be a belter

Not had the chance to watch any yet (it's on record at home) but looking like a very interesting season ahead with this topsy turvey performance.
Can see some of the superstars & factories getting very miffed by being beaten by non factory machinery.

It will be interesting to see if the factory machines come good over race distance and what the they do about it if they're not.

At present Lorenzo isn't through to Qualifying 2. That's gotta hurt.

I am having a huge mancrush for BTSport right now. I've been mega impressed with what they've done so far. I'm looking forward to playing around with their app tomorrow when the whole multi screen stuff goes live. If it keeps up like this then they really weren't kidding when they said that the coverage this year would be much more thorough than anything we have had before.

Angry wasp swarm.

I love the moto3 bikes with twin silencers under the seat.
The Wheelbarrow style exhausts look great too mind!

I just love them all tbh

Same here mega impressed and can't wait for all the other extras to play with during qualifying and racing, really glad I crumbled and subbed up to BT Sports.

sooooo much love for this class

[y2blade]

Cool shots of the exhaust flames as they change gear

[Dare2Fail]

Scott Redding is saying that he thinks the soft tyre that the Open teams have access to may go race distance. If so then expect some real upsets on Sunday!

You mean "then expect some more rapid rule changes"?

[y2blade]

Brilliant^^^^



btw Am I right in saying (on the channel that can't be named) I've not had any adverts at all during live broadcast?
