The thread you were thinking of was the off season practice times I think.
BTW: That combined list of yours for Q2 is incorrect; you got MM as a double, don't think he's allowed to ride 2 bikes. lol

One thing i noticed at 4am, it was dam hard to pic the riders with this years team changes!

4am! how uncivilised. I only got to watch my recording of it this morning after going to the track, finding Symmons wet, then bailed out & came home rather than wait around to see if it cleared up. Rained here all day so been watching the F1 coverage.

You probably forgot the bike key anyway
Mint Weather here all day, not a single cloud.
Yeah, i am finding it hard to make out the riders with all the changes and odd new rider.
Looks like the Pommies have good speed this year

Yep, cancelled!! Glad I didn't get up early.
Just goes to show how important free practice times can be.
As the grid is now formed from the combined free practice times as follows.

Yeh I sat down with a beer ready to watch it and wtf? Not sure I remember a qualifying being cancelled. Anyway just about to get a beer (again) and settle in to the race. Been a few drops of rain after the Moto2 race.
.........Leroy
Bunch of bloody sooks. It's not that wet!!! I need to get another beer now.
I was with you Leroy, watched Moto 3, then watched Moto2, great race
At this point i was starting to do the long blinks and watch TV through the back of my eyelids
2 Rain Delays and Grandpoobar meeting was not what a needed, i thought it was BMW X5 race at one point.
Once finally under way, it was a good race!
Johann Zarco what a start (soft rear) lead the race for several laps by a good margin
Iannone repeated what he did last year, lowsided out of the race
Crashlow started the year like last year also
Rossi worked slowly but got a 3rd
MM off the podium
And a surprise, Jack Miller got 8th!
Oh and lets not for get Aleix Espargaro got Aprilia a 6th, Tiny will be dancing

Would have been interesting to see where Zarco finished had he stayed upright
I guess a 4th position wasn't out of the question

I think if he'd managed to master the limits of adhesion, he'd of won.
Have a look at the fastest race laps;

How did that Aprilia get up so high?
He sure was a lot faster, but how much of that was a SOFT rear tire i wonder?
Although Lorenzo had a SOFT rear too i think?

Aleix put in a real good effort on the Ape, he was only 7 seconds off the leader at the finish.How did that Aprilia get up so high?

It ended up a good track day on Saturday. It was damp for the first group then the track just continued to dry. By 10:30 it was good
plenty of grip. Sunday racing was a great day, superb weather and my first race meeting. Had a ball more fun than I could have imagined

Hi all, just a reminder that MotoGP is from Argentina this weekend,
Starting with FP1 Friday 10:55PM EST.
If you want some interesting insight into team Yamaha, these 2 interviews are well worth watching.
Mav is definitely where he wants to be!
Who wouldn't want a team manager like Lin Jarvis.
Cheers, Tiny
