So apparently he got the front figured out. Last I heard he was struggling with front end feel.

Final comment on Aragon - all of MMs attempted passes in the last laps were in lefts. Completing an on the limit pass in a right would be a sign he's close to 100% and obvs he's not there yet
None of them were super risky either. All block passes with an inside line with room to go wide.
I dunno if anyone noticed his fall where he was super pissed off, in free practice. He was actually close to saving off his elbow. I think he was upset that he didn't pull it off.
Just listening to commentators in fp3 last night taking about an interview with Marc. I was surprised how not 100% they said he is. He’s not having fun. He still can’t train on motocross which he really needs to, to improve. Can’t believe what a long term injury that is. Heading to the track in about an hour. I’ll let you know how he looks out there :beerbang:
Tomorrow's race time: 2pm local
Tomorrow's forecast: Rain expected around 2:30pm local
*trades Marquez for Miller on fantasy team* :cool:
EDIT: Well, that trade was the right call for qualifying, at least... I have all top three qualifiers on my fantasy team :twothumb: Also have Mir, who had a horrible Q2... hopefully he's able to work his way through the pack which would also earn me some good points.
Track is beautiful. Kind of annoying you aren’t free to walk around, just enter grandstand area for your ticket. Like Austin you can see every corner by walking around.
Marq was mad about something and then fell down. Got in about half way through fp3. Rossi fell in q1. Bummer.
It’s incredible how little understanding you get of what happens, watching from the track. Sitting on my balcony at almost midnight, trying to catch up.

Ya being close and all is sick. But seeing 3-5 turns you miss A LOT
Not at midnight. Lol. Many restaurants have huge projectors setup with coverage when it’s on. This town is amazing though. Rossi and racer flags all over down town. Tons of open air beer gardens and restaurants in the center to handle the people. It’s a great place to host MotoGP.
Another very good race... great season so far!
Looks like FQ20’s championship to loose at this point. I like him better now that last season, definitely growing on me.
Awesome for Pecco. Can’t wait to see how he finishes the season.
Also very interesting with Marc. Injury improving and trending better or having an edge at historically good tracks for him. Next round won’t answer that question any better but Sundays are better when 93 is riding up front.
Well, Mir didn't work his way through in the early stages of the race as much as I had hoped, and that last lap 1 position penalty for exceeding track limits sure didn't help, either... but he did alright in my book, starting 11th and finishing 6th.
Great race by FQ, but PECCO!!!! MAH MAN!!!! I really like that kid & am super pumped for him to take another win. Such a clean rider and likable personality.
And Holy shit! Bastianini! Don't think anyone saw that one coming, including him! Helluva race.
In the end, my last minute fantasy team change cost me 3.5 points... MM came out with 27, JM with 20... but I would have had either one as a silver rider so that cuts my losses in half.
With three rounds left I'm in 4th & 5th in my leagues with two of my boosts remaining.
Solid race, I was happy to see Fabio keep Bagnia honest at the end. Moto2 was good, haven't finished moto3 yet.
MotoAmerica was FINALLY good. Awesome for SDK going to Moto2 next year, he deserves the chance.
Holy shit... MotoE delivers once again!
That's been such a massively entertaining series to watch. I haven't invested much time into following any of the individual racers or anything, but I haven't had to... every single race was entertaining on its own without even having any personal investment in any of the rivalries or anything. Being such a new series I can only imagine that it'll continue to get better, so I really hope it's here to stay, even if it's remains just an occasional "side show".

My boy JZ5 had arm pump surgery this week, expected to recovery in time for Austin. He's been struggling with it most of the season, odd he didn't have the surgery during summer break. Hoping we'll get to see him running up front again. He's easily the best character in the paddock.
What is arm pump surgery? Yes I know I can google.
He's definitely A character. Haha
