Good thing to see Dani found a way in front Marquez after the young monster dominated COTA since the tests.

BTW - anyone has good (English commentated!) live stream?
I think the track will provide some good racing.

That said, I think the left / right sequence after turn 2 will be single file only.
The track lends itself to great viewing from many vantage points.
I am attended at how many people are here. Dp is correct about the turn three wiggled, it will be single file. Rossi is down a bit from pole, but knows better than most how one third of a bike width at an apex is his invitation and considers it a wide open welcome in. I expect to see Cal stay on the track and finish third ahead of both factory Yamaha entry's. He looks smoother than I have ever seen and only overshot turn twelve twice. Turn twelve and seven and one will be an education on slow down techniques. The weather is and will be picture perfect. The race to watch is between Dovi and Jorge.
Bradley Smith has made huge leaps in figuring out how to ride a GP bike.
Marquez is lapping consistently faster than anyone (except Pedrosa on two laps) can qualify!!!
If he stays on and make a good start, he will disappear at the front.

I'm not sure Dovi will be racing Jorge for more than 6 laps - the ducati is poor once the tyres start to wear.

Some of the footage of him sliding the honda are very stoneresque for sure.
He is an incredible talent. To think he is only just 20 years old. Love his riding style, future world champ for sure.

What's wrong with the GP Tech Suzuki?

And the pilot is Michael Barnes from the XR1200 series no?
MARQUEZ!!!!!
Pfff.... That was sleep inducing..
Gotta hand it to Cal, though.
