Cal - test rider for Yamaha in 2021. I get it and it's the right move, but too bad.

 

[budman]

Cal back to Yamaha after quite a few years. Now its just a fun job that has a chance for him to appear in a race if someone else has some misfortune.

Man... the field is really tight. .75 sec between first and 19th.
Mir will have to light it up tomorrow to get into Q2 directly.

 

[Shaggy]

Has anyone seen a points breakdown for Mir to be crowned? If/Then finishing places for him and competitors.

 

[Lucky Jones]

If he podiums, even 3rd, he's top dog.

don't know about the rest.

 

[Shaggy]

If my math is correct off the top of my head, if FQ or Rins win, Mir would need to be 3rd or better to maintain at 26pt lead going into Portimao. If Vinales wins, Mir would need 6th or better.

He needs to finish within 13 points of FQ/Rins and 9 points of Vinales.

Mir's bike was puffing smoke today. It would be very 2020 for him to have a DNF mechanical and either Rins or Fabio win. As long as it's still 2020....

Davide, 5mm on the curb feelers ...

 

[Maddevill]

I love the guy, but how can Rabats season take a "hit" ?He's kind of sucked for awhile now.

Mad

The proof is in the pudding my man. He’ll either be at Qatar or he won’t.

I put a only slightly more faith in HRC than I do in analysis from a doctor who has never examined the injury or likely even met the patient.

If MM could race, he'd be there today. Just to show the entire field what huge punks they are.

:thumbup

I’m not suggesting he’s currently in race winning shape. That’s a long way from the assumption that he needs a third surgery.

 

[Shaggy]

Mir got into Q2 and FQ and Rins will both have to come through Q1.

 

[Shaggy]

Brutal highside for AM73 in Q1....

 

[Shaggy]

- Mir is 7th and Quartararo, Rins or Maverick Viñales don’t win

- Mir is 8th, 9th or 10th and Viñales doesn’t win, plus Quartararo and Rins don’t finish better than 3rd

- Mir is 11th and Viñales, Franco Morbidelli or Andrea Dovizioso don’t win, and Quartararo and Rins don’t finish better than 3rd

It appears we’re looking in this range here...

 

[NSR500]

Gonna be real interesting tomorrow if Mir finishes out of points range and Morbido gets the top step.

Amaq's highside looked terrible in real time. I thought for sure he broke his butt. It was like his TC said, "Welp, here's where you get off..."

 

[budman]

It did.. man I thought he was severely hurt. Amazing that he got up and back out so fast. Got to give him tough guy props.

Franco rocked the day today. Hope he can do it tomorrow.

 

[NSR500]

That RCV is vicious and I hope Pol is ready for it in 2021. The KTM is much more manageable.

I was thinking lower lumbar compression fracture. My wife got bucked from her horse in 2015 and landed square on her butt resulting in L1/L2 compression fractures.
