Well fasten those seat belts boys, tomorrow could be a barn burner.  ;D Lorenzo pretty happy with a row 2 start, good on him. MM will be trying for the start of his life against the two blue machines. This could be the head to head between MM & MV we've been waiting for.

Let's hope for some close racing between MM and MV!

yes its looking like a two horse race , they were both a second clear of rossi in qualifying
the race is long though and rossi tends to be around at the end

That was fun to watch. Got main grandstand tickets this time around. VR46, and MM ran a spectacular race. Lorenzo did not.

lorenzo will be well pleased with that result , its the worst track they race at all year , designed for cars and the only bike that works well on it is the honda
neither lorenzo or ducati have ever done well there . he was much closer to dovi who has had five years on the bike and would have been a couple of places higher if he hadnt tangled with iannone towards the end [ cant blame him though it was pay back for the last gp ] they go to jerez next where lorenzo goes well but ducati doesnt . after that it le mans which has been a good track for both .
i think they will be targeting a podium there . im going to both so will get a better chance to find out what is going on  .
