You are brave coming on this thread if you have not yet watched them!
BTSport is so rubbish that as soon as you go to the MotoGP page (we stream it via a laptop) to see if the race is on there yet, you are confronted by a huge pic of the winning rider, so you can't avoid knowing the outcome before you watch the race.
Out of consideration to Mr Lakie, I check if it's available so he doesn't know the result yet. I find it exciting even when I know how it ends!
Looking forward to this weekend. Le Mans is one of my favourite tracks, all those tight turns. Now Lorenzo seems to be out of his pit of despond, and Pedrosa's back, it should be a cracking race.

I've crunched the numbers, taking into account all available data for three hours and then put eight names on pieces of paper threw them in the air and they came down thus;
Dovi
Lorenzo
Rossi
Pedrosa
Hopefully Marquez will stay relatively cool from waaay back or there will be carnage.
Don't believe it....suz-oook-eee
Said in the style of Larry Fishburn in that scene from Apocalpse now
First and second on the grid
Tyres or suz oook have finally applied their gsxr technology.

Fantastic qualifying from the Suzuki's.
Tyre's played a big part though you cant take anything away from them.
Think you're likely to see them both go backwards in the race proper.
With Cal to throw it down the road again if anywhere near the front.
I'm beginning to think that's a safe prediction at any race, unless it's a wet race at Silverstone and he's got a broken ankle. In fairness, he did have some help with yesterday's gravel inspection, it wasn't all down to him.
I reckon the pit crew should fit stabilisers to the back of his bike.
Mind you, even Dovi came off yesterday and he's not of the crash-bang-wallop persuasion, so maybe I shouldn't be so hard on Cal.

We had to go out (family duty) on Sunday, and it's not on the website yet.

Edit ... Mmmm! Seems like they have stupidly used a picture of the podium this time around. :kitty:

Its always dangerous to place any sort of hope on a time set during free practice.
As has now happened, the times that really matter only occur during actual qualifying.
Once again Marquez grabs pole but great seeing Dovi right in the mix but think he will struggle in the full race.
Could be one of the closest seasons for a long time which is great viewing and great for the sport.
I'll call it
Lorenzo - if his mind is in the right place
Marquez
Dovi
Rossi
and Pedrosa in top seven.
Quite possibly greatest season ever with at least five genuine potential champion contenders.
I'm going for Dovi to win on his home turf in 11 days, and potentially nick it at the end of the year.
Marquez is currently as ragged as he's ever been, but it makes for incredible viewing, especially with Iannone up his tailpipe.
I feel sure Marquez will "click".
Something just isn't right at the moment but the team will figure it out.
Jorge seems to be getting stronger and i feel he will be close at the end.
You simply cant rule out Rossi either.
Im gonna opt for Marquez though, i just feel he will come good.
Difficult to say really.
The Yam's, Honda's and Ducati's are all running closer this season ( just now anyway )
I still believe Marquez is still to catch fire and begin dominating like he did last year.
An absolutely prodigious talent.
Dovi
Lorenzo
Rossi
Pedrosa

Watch those Ducs fly.
Lorenzo absolutely peerless when he's in the groove,
Marquez absolutely breathtaking until tyre and enthusiasm overtook him.
Cal should think about selling the advertising on the soles of his boots.
Roll on Catalunya.

If they can progress at this rate of development over the next few months it will be incredible despite their tyre option concession.
Marquez seems more relaxed and happier, although still with plenty of problems.
No one can realistically call this, which makes it all the more compelling.
With the current content and consistent err, smiling;-), Jorge reeling off the 1.41s yesterday I'm calling it
Lorenzo
Marquez
Dovi
Pedrosa

If only Rossi could get on the front row
To be honest I think he is a better rider with a target ahead of him.
