Boring weekend, no MotoGP nor F1.

What is CEV?
Got Indy races past midnight.

Ducati boys not as fast in Sach, even Peco is at the back! KTM looks strong.

JZ on pole! The rest of the M1 are struggling except FQ.

The king is back in style! He truly rules this track. He should be just as strong in America I guess.

Just the nature of racing championships, none more apparent when VR lost to Elias in Estoril 2006 costing him the title to Hayden.

Yup for sure. He is young and actually was still at his peak when got injured. No matter how dominant he was, it's still not good for the sport if someone so talented, arguably the best ever, cannot continue to show that ability because of injury and the young guns lose their point of reference that they can measure their performance and success against. It's like when Michael Jordan took his hiatus to play baseball for 2 years in the mid 90s the the Rockets won those NBA titles, there's like always an asterisk in their achievements that they only managed to win due to MJ's absent.

Still early days and FP2 was wet. In case of MV, you can never know if he will be fast even if he got pole!

BTW what a crazy high-side MM had, lucky he is not injured!

Yamaha boys going well with MV and FQ on top with surprisingly VR in 9th straight into Q2, but the Ducs are in trouble with only JM barely in 10th.

MM from hero to zero. Again using his sneaky tactic to tail JZ but this time it bit him on the ass as he crashed put in Q1 ending up 17th while JZ perfectly con everyone to steal the Q1 p1 at the very last second that even the commentator was surprised he still managed to get the lap!

MV from zero to pole with FQ a very close 2nd and FB a good comeback on 3rd. But based on FP4, seems like FQ will be tough to beat on race day.

Haha yeah exactly. But let's wait and see tomorrow cuz unlike the MV on 4 wheels, with this MV you'd never know! 😆

Rumor is rife that MV will break his Yamaha contract to move to Aprilia next year! Not surprised actually that Yamaha probably is fed up also with him, overrated. Dovi must be licking his lips for an M1 seat.

Yeah looks like the relationship has broken down, probably cuz MV threw his toys out of the pram after an embarrassing dead last in Germany. FQ has wiped the floor with him. Just look at his demeanour after finishing 2nd.

Watch F1 and Euro lor! 😆

So MV will go Aprilia, then I think Morbi will take his seat along FQ unless Dovi somehow interferes with that. VR will retire, so Petronas should have 2 vacant seats. So who will get these 2 seats? Bezzechi, Raul, Gardner?

Rare mistake by JR! Looks like we have a surprisingly tighter championship in WSBK than MotoGP! 😆

Crutchlow replaces Morbi on the next 2 races while Pedrosa will make a wild card appearance in Austria.

Morbi has been cleared to join factory Yamaha, replacing MV. So Petronas might have both seats available for next year.
