Maverick: lots of laps, lots of speed. Does he ‘feel the need for speed’ or perhaps some shirtless beach vollyball? (sorry)
These are difficult times for Yamaha. Maverick is fast no matter what they throw at him.
It’s 2017 and what do we really know about GP motorcycle aerodynamics? 10 years ago you’d have been laughed out of the paddock if you suggested the bike should look like Optimus f-ing Prime.
Looking for the edge, Marquez crashed multiple times at the Qatar test.
The level of sh*t-talking KTM brought to MotoGP you’d have thought they were set to blitz. Instead they are still doing Moto2 times–with a 1000cc engine.
Petrucci threw the Ducati to the sky but was able to push out.
Pirro–not Stoner–is Lorenzo’s test rider.

Lowes throws sparks into the desert …
Iannone–now a few founds lighter with racing come up and all.
Pull. Bear.
Two more seconds please.
Bautista did not embarrass himself on the Ducati at Qatar.
LCR Honda rider Cal Crutchlow had an acceptable test. A mechanical and a crash were the downside of it.
