This is why MotoGP has become a snoozefest after the first 3 laps. Compound those lap times over 20+ laps and the spread is insane with almost no competition at the end. I love MotoGP, but thank god for DVRs!!! .3 seconds per lap off the pole is an eternity. This is why MotoGP has become a snoozefest after the first 3 laps.

having a 30 man team of boffins working THEIR asses off doesn’t hurt. stoner and rossi have both proven, “no amount of talent can overcome recalcitrant kit”.

Sorry kid, hard work can only go so far, ask Nicky or Colin. To play with these guys you've gotta be born with a lot of it AND work your ass off. I think Spies will be the next Colin.

It's a medium 3 tenths, not huge... let's not get too serious here now. I actually think Spies may have something tomorrow due to the pretty significant set up steps he made. Even if your not a Spies fan, you have to admit he hasn't looked like himself on the bike so far this year. We shall see. I’m aware of that, but I disagree.

Makes me wonder if he'll hang it up. I think he's 38? RDP had a pretty bad contusion too, wonder if he'll race tomorrow.

He was on his way to a front row start. I saw a few of those blocks watching qualifying this morning. He found his speed. He will be up there tomorrow.
