Mir out on the Kalex at the mo.
Think they both were at the end. Seemed to be going reasonably well. Hard to know how much they're pushing though given only P1. When Marc had his off early in the session that was Honda frame. Given his early off on the original bike you'd think he would be just trying to clock some laps to familiarise himself. Even though he ended 12th, half a sec covered p1-12, and Mir was p6 only a tenth and a half better than Marc... That tells me it might be a decent step, will soon find out for sure.
Marc didn't look particularly lairy on the Kalex and we all know he can pull half a second out of his arse at least at will, so it'll be interesting to see how things develop and hear what they have to say about it.

Not alone in going down either. Could be an interesting weekend !!
He’s not good at losing, and the more he is the wilder he seems to be getting. I remember a conversation on here a few years back saying he will easily surpass Rossi. Another poster pointed out that he he been very lucky with injuries and that eventually as you get older you bounce less and these things take their toll. And that’s why he won’t surpass Rossi.
It’s a pity because if all years ‘We’ need a fit and fast Marquez it’s this year

Eh what on earth is that meant to mean!
I do like Marquez, never have since he started, but that does not mean I can not also heap plaudits on what he does now and again.
I cheer when he crashes for sure, but i also recognise the amazing job he has done int he past and in the race today.
Not everyone has to be black and white chap. Remember that maybe...
You cheer when a rider crashes. Well, that's a dick move. I do like Marquez, never have since he started, but that does not mean I can not also heap plaudits on what he does now and again.

MM unlucky today, and hats off to Lowes's crew, incredible job by them. Bezzechi, what a w
ker, they should have hit him a bit harder with a penalty, rode like a novice using MM as his brakes. Enjoyable race today.FourWheelDrift said:

I seem to be the only one bothered by what happened Marini ?? Did he miss a gear or slip off the throttle or what ?? Can't seem to find much on it.
He lost the front on the exit, caught it on his knee/elbow and was just getting it back up when Marquez hit him.See here - https://www.youtube.com/shorts/tKRRskWcLDE
Ducati are only worried about themselves and can only look after themselves. Honda and Yamaha etc don't come into their thinking.
Of course they need the Moto GP product to be one that is sale-able but that shouldn't be down to them. Their job is build the best and fastest motorcycle that they can, win as many races as they can while they can. Ducati are doing fine. The fingers should be pointed elsewhere.
