Portimao - MotoGP/2/3 spoilers

[FourWheelDrift]

GO SCOTT OGDEN

Had pole for a minute but lap cancelled because of a yellow, but still 9th.

[FourWheelDrift]

MotoGP qualifying twilight zone.

[FourWheelDrift]

Wow. One of those last laps will be the fastest and it was.

The late yellows didn't change much except for dropping MM a row.

2 rows wasn’t it??

Surprised Zarco hasn't commented yet.

3rd or 4th down to 9th.
He looks much quicker than 9th.
Quali was mental with some of the guys jumping onto slicks with water and cold track temps huge risk reward that I didn’t think likes of bestia and pecco needed to take.


Pecco looks okay for tomorrow.
Should be a cracker

Yeah, the top three all set faster times than him so he would've been 4th. He's obviously got better pace than where he's qualified again so hopefully we get to see another attacking ride. I still think that Honda isn't quite sorted yet though.

Q1 was crazy but I could understand it, so much of the track was dry, but then there were a few rivers running across the track. Remy headbutting the front of the fairing was a particularly "ouch" moment I thought.

Lots of Brit interest in 2 & 3, hoping for a top 10 finish for Ogden. Surely Canet has enough pace in hand to clear off?

Let's see if he can convert it today

Been thinking about how Zarco fits into the Ducati machine recently. I think he's playing the role that Miller did so well at Pramac; race testing the new parts before they are put on the factory bikes. Might be why his form seems a bit up and down (on the other hand he's just like that often).

Before anyone starts, I don't know anything. Just throwing it out there.

We keep hearing commentary talking about some riders having a bad race or year but virtually nothing about Morbidelli, again his team mate is leading a race and he's down in 19th again. It's Vinales all over again.

Is he on the same spec bike as Quartarato or an old spec bike like Vinales was?

Same spec.

Vinales was on the same spec as well

Maybe it was Vinales on the Petronas Yamaha that had an old spec.

Anyway, Miller to Yamaha next year now he's skittled Mir?

Vinales was never on the Petronas bike, he was always on the factory Yamaha.

The 3 wise men in his garage didn't look impressed.

Miller back to LCR later.

Worst race of the year, dull as hell when Lorenzo races happen. Great from Aleix xgain, poor from Miller, but he is at his talent level, Not the best track either for racing, but for riding obviously.
