Chatter (at least for Pedrosa when he was in the pits) braking into turn 1 meaning they are going too fast into turn 1 pushing them wide and they have to come off the throttle as they run onto the slippy outside (as Pedrosa and Crutchlow did) but since Marquez never gives up he tried to ride through it and fell. Perhaps.

They mentioned yesterday a time comparison between the factory bikes this season and last season and the Honda has the lowest performance/time increase between the bikes so maybe they are having to ride it harder and it's going beyond what the chassis/suspension can handle. Because it "obviously" won't be an engine issue.

Oh dear. That didn't go to plan did it.

He also thumped the arm rest of his chair with his fist the moment Yonny went over the line and bumped him out.

That's not a strop I want to see him throwing chairs, monitors at mechanics , kicking the bike , that's a strop

Just google Luis Salom - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2V5MEKZR5GM

I wonder what's suddenly clicked into place for lorenzo?

The bike, his head?

The old man the other side of the garage leading the championship.

I think the only problem Bradley has is those who moan about him always see him going backwards in races. The reason is because he's a great starter, perhaps consistently the best on the grid. He always gains places, then he has a bike/chassis that isn't as good as those around him so naturally he will be passed by the factory bikes. His target would be 7th (behind the 6 factory bikes) and he's gone better in 4 out of the 6 races so far (8th, 6th, 6th, 8th, 6th, 5th). And 6th (7th if Pedrosa hadn't missed races) in the Championship. If he keeps it up he can poke anyone in the eye.

Iannone's "jump start" - http://www.crash.net/motogp/news/219461/1/race-dir...

Very lucky indeed. The bike squats down and he moves slightly (that's allowed this year) but he goes as the system says lights out but he's moving as the lights are dimming, the other riders go when they go fully out.
