Folger to Tech 3 next year [url= http://www.crash.net/motogp/news/230044/1/jonas-folger-signs-for-tech-3-yamaha-for-2017.html ]http://www.crash.net/motogp/news/230044/1/jonas-folger-signs-for-tech-3-yamaha-for-2017.html[/url]
Surprised they didn't go for Zarco seeing as he is a Frenchie. On a related note, when are they going to bin their Moto2 team as the chassis has been poor since Smith left and they said before not much point running the team with someone elses chassis. I guess whilst they have sponsers, why not..
....... answering my own question ...... apparently not ....

Very unforgiving those front tyres....Ianonne idiot, he might have caught Lorenzo had he not gone so mad. Fell off the sofa when Dovi and Marquez went down.
Currently waiting for an interview with Crutchlowcrash where he says he had the pace for the podium and how every other rider in GP and WSBK paddock isn't deserving of a Factory ride 😀
Synchronized crashing, was quite a surprise.

We're all human I know but I wish he'd stayed above it....
The Pedrosa to Yamaha rumour comes from Yamahas title sponsor Movistar wanting a Spanish rider on their bike.
Silly season starting this early is fun.
So Pedrosa staying at Honda, Vinales going to Yamaha, Dovi staying at Ducati and crazy Joe going to Suzuki.
and Mugello this weekend 😀
I still want to see 26 go to Yamaha
I'm off to Barcelona two weeks today, can't wait 🙂
Yamaha are training Rossi's replacement

..... shame we'll only see about two minutes worth on ITV4!
2 blow ups in one day! 😥
There's a lot of luck going round this season. Trouble is it's the wrong sort...
That was a brilliant last minute move by Lorenzo though.
Good to see Smith back on form. He just does the job and does it well. I think we've seen the end of him though, it's a backward step where he's going.
RIP Luis Salom 🙁

😥 very sad news about Salom 🙁
Dreadful news 🙁
Noooo.....bad times, f@#& off death yer bastid.
Use of an asphalt run off is ridiculous, they've changed the track lay out now a rider has died to the F1 layout.
A bit late isn't it.
👿
A Rossi win. Masterclass.
Crutchlow fastest in testing next day - into the 1:43s. That's serious pace. May be the start of something...
.....start of his next whinge (used to be a big Cal fan before....you know)
Redding on the front row!
A wet race would be nice. I like his riding style - I think he would have been at home on the old 500s, sideways and bucking.
What about that save from marquez? Don't really like him but jeez he can pull some stuning moves on two wheels/one wheel , but I think thats his best yet.
That was outrageous, so violent it set his air bag off

Might be a wet race.
Redding has done well. So far, so good.
Brilliant race. Couldn't breathe for the last few laps.
An Australian winner! Is Miller the start of a new era? That was a ride worthy of Doohan. Wait till he gets on a full factory bike.
Redding showed some real class to come in 3rd.
Is Miller the start of a new era?
Unless you mean a new permanently wet climate, no.

Don't wish that on us. 🙂
Let's revisit that once he gets a factory contract...
I just hope he gets a contract of any sort for next year. At least this win might give him a shot.
I do hope so.
Watching it again, what was impressive was how smooth he was in very difficult conditions even though you could see his tyres starting to let go at times. That is why I compared him to Doohan.
Marquez could probably have had him with the more powerful bike, but that he felt it not worth the risk speaks volumes.
My recording ended just after the restart..pleased for Miller.
Miller = clown 😆
Apart from this he has been out of his depth for 2 seasons, like Anthony West great in the wet will crash in the dry*
* I don't like Miller 😆
Great for Redding

Australians are usually unpopular in the UK when they're winning MotoGP. I remember the remarks about Doohan, Stoner, and several others.
Liked Doohan and Gardner, Vermullen for some reason never really made it in MotoGP and I like him. Garry McCoy was great fun.
Stoner is just a moaning gimp 😆
So it's not all Australian riders 😉

...Stoner is just a moaning gimp
No he wasn't. He was proven right when the GOAT couldn't handle the bike that Stoner was complaining about. And don't forget Stoner won the Championship on it.
You have your opinion I have mine 😀
No he wasn't. He was proven right when the GOAT couldn't handle the bike that Stoner was complaining about. And don't forget Stoner won the Championship on it.
No he didn't.
But he did win 4 races and had 4 other podiums that year. Rossi then pottered around at the back at the test the day after the season finished (and Stoner set the fastest time on the Honda).
Wow Calamity Cal gets on the podium in a lottery race and then has a pop at other riders not having big enough balls 😆 stay classy Cal you clown.
I (along with his team manager by the looks of it) was still expecting him to crash on the straight before the finish line
Changeable condition races are at least more interesting on the whole. It's almost like Yamaha and Ducati (especially) don't want to win...

He does make it hard to warm to him. I don't think he does himself any favours when he comes across as petulant as he seems.
He does seem a bit prickly...it looked like he kicked his leg out at Redding when he tried to get under him.
Cracking result today, good ride from Redding, usual fayre from Crutchlow
usual fayre from Crutchlow
Yeah, he seems to jump the start in every race.
Superb race! Hopefully that will shut the haters up for a while although Cal's sense of humour will be lost on many.
Amazing!
