Most excellent race! That last lap was a bit mental.

For once Moto2 was worth watching too.

Silverstone init. Cool

Loz saying he's loss muscle mass and it shows in lap times...He was off the timing screen for most of FP1 and FP2.

Fast Fabio was...fast.

Crabby 'DON'T DOUBT ME' Crutchlow was giving out the retirement vibes during an interview. It's the travelling...I'm moving to California..Wanna be with wife n kid.
Move aside dude.

Rossi got a good time after his lap was reinstated.

Marquez still falling off then going faster.
Petrux has seen a shrink and going a bit better.

The circuit looks 6 million pounds less bumpy.

FP2 times

[expletive deleted] chassis.
[expletive deleted] engine.

Yeah he wasn't happy. Laughing

Bad move don't you think. Not like KTM aren't throwing money at it.

Exactly, especially seeing as there are no seats avaliable, surely he knew he was there to develop the bike and wasn't expecting to be fast out of the box.

Bet he's kicking himself now that Bradley is sniffin' his seat.

So, will I be eating my words when I said Rossi may not win another race.
The old man did alright in quali.

So sad for Quat and Dovi, that was just awful luck.

The last three laps were great, yep. Great result for Rins, I do love a genuine reaction when someone gets a win, it's become plastic and sterile with the Hondabot winning all the time lately.

Went on Friday to get the atmosphere without the overdraft. Clearly Rossi and Quatararo were going to stick it right up Marky's jackhole, but apparently the grip levels when it's too hot something something...

Championship pretty much sewn up then. Lesigh.

And yet to win that many titles its talent not accident. So whilst it's a bit same old same old when its 93 at the top, you cant knock him for it.

There is not one person who is reliably better all the time and thsts before you add luck into the mix. That's why he's so far out in front and will be until the rest of them get their act together.

Deserved win for Rins and a tidy 2nd for Marquez. Unlucky for Dovi and by all accounts a rookie throttle error by Quateraro.

Think it was Neil Hodgson that said back when marc put in that mental quali lap in the wet that all the other riders must be thinking "thats how far i'm going to have to go to beat him"
I think the only thing that can stop him is him going back to win it or bin it mode or a big injury.

Total time that MM has finished behind the race winner for the 12 races so far this season. 5.146 seconds.

Fabio Q already prepared. Smile

And also using it on Rossi. It's a shame when mind games take a part in the action. This is the problem with everyone wanting the mic drop in the last 2 seconds of qualifying. If you really were all that and a cherry on top, get out early and bang in your fastest lap.

I think MM is getting bored or complacent to a degree because nobody can challenge him. His celebration yesterday was full bore because he actually had something to celebrate. Yeah he followed FQ and pounced when he knew it couldn't be answered but he'd planned it. Was him, not the bike, not the team, not his manager, but his decision.

Now, this is what sets a proper racer away from a teamspeak robot. More please.

But the rest of the race was pap.

That's the thing he's the only one who can consistently perform on a honda, they would be nowhere without him.
I always wonder if that's because the bike is so hard to ride or its been built to suit his style so much nobody else can get to grips with it.

HRC make the bike. The rider gets what he's given.

Look how long it took for them to alter the tank for Lorenzo.
He had to fly to Japan to show how important is was to him.

Certainly not like at Yamaha where there trying everything to help Rossi.
Ironically the satellite yams are nailing it...but then again they have kids willing to risk all.

No, I think what we have here is an anomaly and if not that then he's dropped onto a fast bike at the right time. The other Honda riders privy to his data say they cannot understand how he does what he does and not crash (ok was it last season where he crashed 20 odd times during FP).
He's so consistent.
I wouldn't wish it upon him but a busted bone or two may make him reign it in a bit. Or if another anomaly turns up and takes it to Marc.

Mind games don't work on him, that was Rossi's era.
The more the other champions/riders faff about swapping teams or getting older the more wins he's going to get.

So disappointed in Ducati. They could've been the best chance of a different champion.

Speaking of HRC.

Takeo Yokoyama, HRC's chief technical officer, says Jorge Lorenzo "hates him"

That's very un-Japanese.
