And he's just started training for Suzuka, so I doubt he'd last 5 laps on a MotoGP bike.

Scott Redding, even though he is a jumped up little tard. He could mix it Marquez like they did in MOTO 2

he is already on a HRC backed Honda though
after just one race gone the differences between Scotts and dani's will be minimal at best and even then it will be only frame and software updates,
the engines will be the same as there frozen all year

Its looking like it could be wet weekend in Austin TX
Cals been given a new frame and seat from this weekend, its the one the HRC guys have been using from race 1.

Yanks are being a little amateurish by not having the marshals out on track at the start
hour late is a bad show.
maybe some were still at Mc D's

ShakenNstirred · 10 Apr 2015 at 17:02

What idiot let a dog get anywhere near the track
you could see it was scared running around trying to find away out
the Suzuki guy had a scare with it

Incredible levels of grip in the wet. :eek:

Finally pulled the trigger and paid the 99euro's for the MotoGP annual pass.

ElliorR · 10 Apr 2015 at 20:54

Why oh why did the second race of the season have to be in the USA and clash with the final round of The Masters. Ah well I shall miss this one.

Katoom · 10 Apr 2015 at 21:04

He is full of excuses lol

ShakenNstirred · 11 Apr 2015 at 20:54

What a quali that was
MM's bike broke on his 2nd run and just got his second bike out before the end and got in a hell of a lap to smash everyone
4 riders broke the lap record in the last 4 mins

deuse · 11 Apr 2015 at 20:54

I thought Cal had got pole for a bit. But well done to the brits. It's going to be a great race.

Shimmy · 11 Apr 2015 at 20:55
