Free practice sessions currently on.

I wonder if we are going to hear our national Anthem in Argentina. Would be fun if the Witch-President has to present the trophy biggrin

Banter about this seems a little light. Have I missed something?

Well Suzuki - so good to have them back in and that Ducati (clap) are doing better than I'd hoped!

On the Moto 2 practice I saw last night, I couldn't seem Lowes anywhere

After watching practice:

- Danny Kent is looking mighty in Moto3
- Sam will either be on pole or in the scenery in Moto2
- GP is more open, wouldn't surprise if there's a duke on pole, with a strong Suzuki showing

Good work by suzuki , both bikes in top 10, also petrucci.

The event seems a bit low key this year though, i remember last year the Argentinian fans were going ape st because gp came to town.

Yamaha's look to be struggling, Rossi and Lorenzo left it late and both the Tech 3 boys have to do Q1.

Open class soft tyres quite advantageous here as Laverty showed by splitting ESP and SMI

I think Brad was out on old tyres then came in, put a new one in and did the lap. Planed I think, Pol was probably doing the same thing but after almost crashing twice pushed too hard and over rode it.

I'm loving Edwards on BT guys a natural and his insights into The racing are excellent.

Couldn't possibly comment on hodgsons body being a straight man cloud9

Shows you the level of fitness required though cos the guys obviously in shape but gets out of breath doing a fast lap on the s1000rr
