omg guys, you giving me such a hard time, I had to go and translate and try to figure out what you mean.

Just so long as you didn't Google image search that.

No I didn't, but it suggested some images

MotoGP starts at 1pm today.

Zarco continues to be fast.  Lets see if his team can choose the right race day tire so he doesn't drop off the pace with 5 laps to go.
Rossi qualifying 8th which means he could win.  For some reason he always ends up starting a race in the 2nd or 3rd row and then ends up 1st through 4th on race day.  I almost wonder if he does that on purpose to test the tires he is actually going to use on race day, vs trying to get the best time on tires that won't last.

Not sure about this year, but last year most important on the limited time of tests/qualification was to nail the setup for long term racing rather than for fastest times on a lap. This was obvious but also the riders were pointing to this.

I didn't agree with Dorna changing rules/tires and teams not carrying anymore as much for qualification rather than best setup for the whole race. They kind of killed the qualification aspect.

That showed in this race.
Zarco led for most of the race and then his tires gave out and he dropped back significantly.
Rossi meanwhile battled from 8th to 3rd.  If he had gone with a harder front tire, I think he would have won. His tires gave out, but he is better at preserving them than most people.

I need to avoid this thread. I can’t afford another race series getting me hooked. F1 is enough for now.

MotoGP is pretty quick.
Record it, fast forward through GP3 and 2 and watch GP.
