Last i heard he was testing Honda's production bike with no plans on a return

that selfish pig

You know how hard it is to find pics of his wife these days with him living as a recluse?

I almost dont want him back now

RIP Supersic!

He was the next big personality in Moto GP, they are still feeling his loss.

As much as I hate to say it, Dani rode an excellent race; still don't like him.

I can't help wondering after the point loss & 25 manufacturer points lost Marquez has been warned to keep his distance from the walking personality void.

A mate was at the event; reckoned Marquez was awesome to see in action.

On to PI this weekend.

The change came courtesy of an announcement from Race Direction after qualifying on Saturday, with Bridgestone having announced that it is unable to guarantee the safety of its rear slick tyres beyond 14 laps.

It has therefore been decided to make the following changes to the MotoGP™ class race in the interests of safety:

1. The race distance will be 26 laps (previously scheduled to be 27)

2. Every rider will be required to enter the pits and change to their second machine with fresh tyres at least once during the race.

3. No rider is permitted to make more than 14 laps on any one slick rear tyre. This means that a bike/tyre change before lap 12 would require a second bike/tyre change to finish the race

4. Riders using ‘Factory’ and ‘Satellite’ machines will be required to use the ‘hard’ option tyre (B51DR). Extra quantity will be allocated by Bridgestone

5. Riders using CRT machines will be required to use the CRT ‘hard’ option tyre (B50DR). Extra quantity will be allocated by Bridgestone

6. The pit lane speed limit zone will be extended both on entry and exit and the exit route to rejoin the track will be marked by a white line in the runoff area; crossing this line whilst rejoining the track from pit lane will result in a penalty

fiasco?

[zebra]

Still can't find anyone happy with ducati atm

[billywhiz]

fiasco?

Strange that everyone running at PI since resurface has mentionef how abrasive it is. They will have known, perhaps discussed and agreed to run risk instead of bespoke RnD for one round only.

One round in a worldwide championship that garners millions of viewers and multiple millions in revenue to it's sponsors.

Yep, save moneyz & bring the shit tyres.

"Let's just get the organisers to make the race completely shit; because we couldn't be arsed making a tyre to last the distance"

What a great advertisement for their product.

[zebra]

Pretty much sums up brigestone right there

[stR33ter]

Sounds like F1 and Pirelli. Missed free practice and quali is this why everyone's falling off?

19 laps now

[stR33ter]

How many of these guys can't count to 10

Ridicules

[ctjet]

[Daleo]

Only because I'm still not over the bullshit at PI;

[ctjet]

got to draw that series somehow

[Nee-san]

I was there,

Apart from the otherwise boring race, the 10 lap bike swap was actually ridiculous.

I was on the fence at Doohan when Lorenzo and Marquez had their love tap, was beautiful, f**k Marquez.

I probably won't go again any time soon, WTAC was more fun.

It must have been pretty bad for world super sprint to be better then it
