Interesting. Zarco half a second off pole time on the 2017 Yam and half a second quicker than Rossi's qual time. Zarco himself thinks it's a much better bike than what he had so far

Not only that, Dovi said being behind Lorenzo helped him. All in all, it was the right choice, or at least, as good as it could be. When will you be satisfied? You're giving us multiple orgasms y'know. YES! I didn't want to ask if you'd cover testing this year, felt a little pushy. You're...

Wouldn't have done him any good. Neither had the pace to win. Only way he could help was if he could drag Dovi to the front and he couldn't. There was a race conference. Feed cut off when they got to the championship questions

Some stuff about the Marquez brothers I liked and something else I can't remember. It's in the post quali conference questions. But the one that stands out is, he got asked yet again about whether he wants to be given this year's Yamaha and he told the journalist off. I swear, one of these days...

Stream is working. Marquez won't crash. If Dovi can win, it'll show in the warm-up but I doubt it. .. Said it before, say it again. Zarco's got the best answers

And Qualifying started

We should have this every race. They're great people and good thinkers. Suppo and Jarvis have changed a lot these last 2-3 yrs

Filthy scumbags. As if they're not getting enough money as it is. Whatever happens, we're indebted to you A. And if you feel it's time to stop, by all means do it. We'll manage. We always do

Well, of course, but that's over and done with and Dovi won that one. Both bike and rider (edit:and luck) win a championship and that day, Marquez lost. Dovi was never going to win the championship, hell, I thought it'd be done by last race. So, no, I'm still impressed as ever. As for Marquez...

Yeah, riders don't care how they got the championship, teams don't either. Down the line, only ones who'll remember are haters. It's as much about luck as it is about skill anyway. And I don't care as a viewer either. All I care about is a good season race by race. These things remind me of '06...

Couldn't keep up. Too slippery and too much at stake is what he said. Ducatis were uncatchable and 3rd place wasn't worth the risk.

Agreed. It was a convincing race anyway you slice it. Keep in mind, messages like that pop up every now and again. Only reason we saw it was because Dorna (and Ducati if it's the same as in F1) allowed us to see it. It was a good (if a little boring) race and a well drserved positioning all...

A Ducati 1-2 in the wet. Who would've thunk it. I guess the fat lady just hummed a few notes today

Unsurprised with the grid positions, still exciting to see all the swapping. Hearing a guy on an orbiting Yamaha say he was expecting pole was a treat. That's a rider

I'll dance naked in the rain if Dovi can pull a Hayden on us. Doubt it though. I don't think Marquez will win this one but I'd say he'll be champion come Sunday unless Ducati can pull a miracle out of their exhaust pipe

Thanks, yeah, and I just noticed he's already got it up on the server, the order was just mixed :thumbup:

Not a big deal, but any chance we can have postQ conference at some point later?

No worries. I was starting to think you were having issues. Thanks, A!

Marquez is gonna be the favourite even if it goes down to Valencia and Dovi's 6 points ahead, sad but true. On the other hand who would've thought they'd actually be tied for wins with 3 rounds to go. Apart from Rossi's Assen, noone else has won in almost 5 months!

Dovi hasn't really changed though. He's always been a man of wits, even in the Honda days when he had a lot less experience. It's a credit for Ducati for sticking with it and getting some good consistent results. The fact that they're fighting for the championship doesn't really mean anything...
