Thank you sir!
Dear Bradley...............
You've proved a lot of people wrong this year but;
this weekend is the time to show a killer instinct and prove you've really got what it takes. Never mind consolidating 5th in the championship you need to focus on 4th.
Keep it up.
Best regards
Anteater.
Good point
24 points behind an injured Iannone, just seven in front of an inconsistent Dovi but 26 ahead of a resurgent Pedrosa... come on Brad!!
What to make of FP2?
From what I saw, the last run or two were on the harder option tires for the Yamahas and Hondas. I think?
It's tough to base anything on basically 3 hot laps for the main protagonists, but it seems Lorenzo could do one very fast lap right off the bat, but then more or less settled into a rhythm about where Rossi could hold at in the low 48s. Marquez more or less on same pace as Rossi and Pedro lagging a bit behind.
So, my questions would be, were they all on the harder options those last couple runs and I forgot which of the options is asymmetric?
No, The yamahas
were using the medium option rear and medium option front tyres on their final runs. Hondas stayed on Hard rear.
