Joe Roberts sixth on Friday morning and then steps with fastest time in Friday afternoon practice.


Bezzecchi finding his feet on the GP23 to join the usual fast MotoGP who guys transfer directly to Q2. Only one of the five KTMs in the top ten. Guess who.

Stoked to see Roberts rocking M2.

The Champ came out strong and Maverick is still looking super fast.

The OG off the couch did not make it directly to Q2 but still very impressive.

WTF did I just watch?

 

[bikewanker]

Lack of a yellow flag?

 

[Busy Little Shop]

WTF did I just watch?

Unforeseen moisture seeping through the track... they need to fix that once and for ever...

WTF did I just watch?

Crazyness!!!

And a podium for Pedrosa!!!!!

 

[mheinee]

Unforeseen moisture seeping through the track... they need to fix that once and for ever...

Like the old Turn 5 at Sears Point in the spring..


That was nuts!!

Mark

 

[Tally Whacker]

Marky Mark is clearly back to his old ways- all of them.

 

[bikewanker]

The important questions so far this year, will Marky Mark the pavement and when will Pedro win?

 

[budman]

Not today...!

Not a great race, but a good race at the front. We did not see much other than the front really.

Those boys at the front both showed some impressive skills and maximum desire.

Shake up in the points! arty

The Spanish fans turned out...!

Pretty happy for the MOTO2 POINTS LEADER!!

Great weekend of racing, and MM93 has definitely shown that he is still a force to be reckoned with.

Stoke to see Dani out there and with such speed at his age, lol.

 

[GAJ]

Marquez seems to have his mojo back.

That is good for MotoGP for sure.

Some might call it MofoMojo

And yes.. it is good for MotoGP. The Spanish fans were going gaga for 93.

Sky tv Italy had 6 hours of coverage! All I understood was Marquez, Bagnaia and mama mia in excited commentary during the race.

Dorna won't allow embedding but this onboard from Bagnaia, Martín, and MM at Jerez is worth the click.
