Awkward fast gravel tumble from a lowside - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LVthN39ou1o
Last time he crashed at Assen and had a hospital visit (collarbone break) he was back on the Sunday to finish 5th.

"Lorenzo fractured his T6 and T8 vertebra (between the shoulder blades)" Will miss Assen and Sachsenring.

He’s not having much look, not sure on the rules but do they have to nominate a rider now for the next race.https://www.crash.net/motogp/news/924066/1/lorenzo...
Quartararo set a new lap record in FP3 this morning, he's quick and consistently quick. Very impressive, I didn't understand his signing last year but he's proving himself.
Mir pushed Rins out of Q2.

Another day when Vale is the slowest Yam and clearly unable to do much, when ALL the others are doing OK.
Never really seen this before when Vale is the guy that can not get it to work.
Do the others all ride one way and Vale rides another? Can't see that too much, but it clearly must be the case.
Or is this finally the sign that he has lost a yard?

In the last years isn't he slower in FP and Q and then better in races? He has the experience and nerves to lean on when it counts.Never really seen this before when Vale is the guy that can not get it to work.

On the other hand, anyway you look at it, the body is not the same as before (look at my fat ass talking about "body", but nevertheless, 25 and 40 is a big difference which one feels).
Still, VR is competitive and still wants to ride, which is only great. I do not understand people who say he should retire, why?

Sadly, I think JL is yet another flawed spanish genius.....
If things arnt close to 96% he has no speed.
Be surprised if he doesnt get bounced for MM jr....
I would not be surprised either.If things arnt close to 96% he has no speed.
Be surprised if he doesnt get bounced for MM jr....
Still, why is he "flawed"? He won 3 MotoGP titles and 2 250cc titles, he has proven himself already.
Yes, maybe he is the type of rider that need things set up "just the way", which was proven last season with Ducati. So give him support!!!
If Honda ditches him for next season I think it reflects more on Honda than on JL.

Good shout Turn 7
Very much like Kocinski aswell. One of the few front end riders of that generation who could ride around issues was Foggy actually!
Cadalora was the same as Max too. Some guys just need too much and can't quite work out how to get it. Or let's say this, they can't adapt to any other way of riding when it is necessary.
Moto3 wise. Binder needs a slap, constantly taking people out pushing them over the kerbs, someone needs to teach the bumped up lad a lesson as sooner or later he is going to cause a huge accident
