With everything going on recently in the four wheeled category, I'd completely forgotten that battle resumes this weekend on two. Czech GP in Brno! Diarise it :)
 
Watched the quali now, Rossi vs the Hondas it seem....

And then I like at the current Moto3 race.... it's wet out there :D but will probably dry up by the time they get to the GP race.
 
Rossi always hangs around on the wet tires for too long.
 
Meh...

Hoping for a Ducati fightback at the Red Bull ring...
 
Yamaha and Rossi need PKs after that stunt. They do this every single damn time. The team has the telemetry, the minute Marquez was 1 - 2 seconds a lap faster you pull your guys in, you don't wait until Marques is 10 seconds faster. Pathetic.

Agreed. They never learn. I want a close championship at the end but...
 
What pisses me off the most, is the fact they calling Marquez' early pit a "Tactical Masterstroke"... FFS, did no one watch his interview, it was pure luck!!

On the outlap he had the harder compound on, when he got to the grid he told the team to put on the soft, something didn't feel right with medium. Then on the first lap he says he could already feel the tire spin too much, and knew he made a mistake, he was FORCED to go in on the second lap because he was just dropping like a stone .... and fortunately for him the track was drying quick enough for him on the slicks....

Absolutely nothing masterstroke about it!

Yeah, this. I can only assume they (Yamaha) were gambling on it raining again but it was a tactical and strategic brainfart of note, no doubt.

I'm not a Marquez fan, but gosh this guy is a professional qualifying machine

MM, and the two Ducatis on the front row.

Rossi 7th

Yeah, Marquez is blisteringly quick right now, ugh. Still, the Ducatis up there snapping at his heels. Rossi's qualifying woes coming back to haunt him. He's going to have a mountain to climb to challenge for the podium, nevermind a win.

Should be a great race :)

This season, he's been quite reserved when things aren't going his way, preferring to play the safe game and bank the points rather than risk a rash move. He could easily have taken the 20 points today and still held a more than handy lead in the championship. But this was the Marquez of old. Fighting, scrapping, getting the elbows out. Accepting nothing less than a win.

Man, what a finish. I'm still breathing deeply.

Forza Dovi! Forza Ducati!
 
In other news... Shezza!

Sheridan took pole yesterday and, after a red flag, took his first WSS win today... Crazy end to the race but that was cool AF.
 
Mental Moto3. Again. Three abreast into Chapel and first to, what's that, fourteenth or fifteenth on the same piece of asphalt. Brilliant.
