I'll bet you can guess the three guys on the front row.

Eddie Lawson , Umberto Masetti , and John Surtees . Wait , aren't there 5 bikes on the front row ? I think they should go back to push starting , some of these 100 pounders probably can't bump start a gp bike  :evil:

I enjoyed watching the last GP qualifying this year since it's going to be months to do it again. Those racers lean over so far in the corners I just can't believe they get away doing it time after time.  To them it's no big deal.  :shocked: They are so in tune with their bikes abilities it's mind boggling to me.  :bow:   They are in the ZONE time after time.

I've been in the ZONE a few times on a MC but nowhere close to this level.   :blank:

dang.  got up and the DVR only got the Moto 3 race.  Just turned it on to see the podium for the GP.  So now I am spoiled and haven't seen the race.

The KTM qualified but didn't finish the race. I'm sure they are disappointed.

that Ducati got grunt.. will anyone even get close to Lorenzo next year? both Honda and Yamaha better get more HP..

Good to see Suzuki going somewhere now and Aprilia even tho not at full speed.. and then KTM, cool.. they dropped out with electrical issues.. their motor is called RC16, 16 valves?

They'd programme the valves to stay open to act as decompressors start it on one cylinder and have the other three kick in sequentially.
