Zarco to fill in for Nakagami on the LCR Honda for the last 3 races of the season.
Mark
Petrucci took him out when he went down iirc.was a good race.
vinales was trying too hard on the last lap, but it was good to see him challenging MM93.
I was hoping to see zarco in the top ten - hopefully we will see that next race.
What happened when quartaro went down ? I could see why petrucci went down, but couldn't quite see what happened to quartaro when he went down (on my smaller screen). Anyone want to give me the play by play on that ?
I actually got a small thrill seeing Rossi's start, believe it or not. I thought the old man might remind everyone why over 1/2 the atendees came simply to see him.
Zarco did better on his first outing on last years machinery than JLO has most of this season with factory backing, which is another indicator that his seat is not a given regardless of what is said in the media. There would be no point in putting an ex-KTM rider on it for a factory if not for a replacement candidate given a working interview. He really should be negotiating for a Ducati ride after mending those injuries or consider retiring entirely if he cannot get a Factory backed Yamaha deal.
Mir was on it and despite the last lap drama I was glad to see Mav in good form after all the problems.
Exciting race.
thx for the play by play.I thought MM slightly pushed Petrucci off line which in turn made his situation worse and he highsided right into Quartero. Who was also going off track but would of been able to remain on the bike.
I agreeI won't spoil it for those that haven't seen Q2 yet and want to. Seeing the "mind games" during the session and getting a bit frustrated by it (I'd personally call it poor sportsmanship), the final outcome was well deserved in my opinion...
I wouldn't be surprised if he gets a podiumI agree too
and the main offender of the gamesmanship penalized himself
cold tires from his messing around have him starting 11 tomorrow
Cue Winales_2017 in 3... 2... 1...
