MotoGP 2018

Excellent qualifying session! Crutchlow Pedrosa Zarco the front row. Factory Yamahas sucking hind tit in these temperatures.

Race week! French GP with races starting from 11:00 (SA time). Ducatis (well, Dovi. Lorenzo can go suck a dick) with a lot of work to do to reign Marquez in. Looking forward to seeing Zarco going at his home race. Tipping him for a front row start and a resulting podium.
 
If FP times are to believed, we should be in for a cracker of a race come Sunday.

Hmm, interesting reading as far as FP3 times go. Dovi down in 15th, nearly a second off the pace of Vinales. Long run testing or problems? Regardless, he now has to go through Qualy 1 which will burn up a set or two of tyres. Not ideal for him.

wtf, why is he already in Q2?? I'm confused

Yeah as well! :confused: I thought only the top 10 of FP3 went straight through to Q2. Must read up on the qualification criteria then. Just surprised at the amount of riders going down though. A lot of bikes' front ends washing out.
