    I bet it gets to 40*C before it rains, then a freak tornado wreaks havoc on the Ducati tent (to give them a valid excuse.........), followed by hail on the punters as they are streaming slowly out the gates.
    This is Victoria.

    Huh! Well, there you go.

    I was just watching the coverage locally of Warm-Up, etc, and they had a shot of Davide Tardozzi.
    How long has he been running the show Krop?
    Explains a bit of the improvement possibly...........

    Top 11 in the warm up covered by .4/sec?

    Might be a tight one at the start...

    Epic race by Miller, but Kent does have reason to be mad!

    Crazy race, I wonder if Lorenzo had a bad front tire? As the yamaha improves Marquez is falling off more and more.

    Motogp makes formula 1 look like a nursery school. What a race and full of surprises. Proof that the show is not over till the fat lady sings. :clap

    Dovi was the only finisher on the asymmetric front. Lorenzo spent most of the setup time on that tire too I think, so perhaps not quite enough time to set up for the soft?

    Epic.

    As mentioned in the comentary - we won't know how good MM is until he's as old as Rossi and still winning races. Outstanding from Rossi, and throwing away a 4 second lead - doh.
