BRNO MotoGP

[Allred]

So Marquez's recent fracture isn't doing as well as hoped for and he will not be riding at Brno.

German Stefan Bradl will replace him

They went all giddy on FB when MM aid he would ride last weekend.    "Ironman" and such words were being bandied about.  Even Alex George, which surprised me.  I thought his vast  experience would have shone through.

Hey Hoof,,,, so glad to see you’re not dead.
Welcome to the forum.

Hey  Double fat.  Allred put me on to here a while back.   With the lockdown there wasn't much going on.  Thrown in a right knee that took a left turn and the fact that I should be on the salt tomorrow the mood is a bit like MM's arm.  But not as humerus.

You and MM too I think, that must put an end to his world championship hopes for this year!

I like Bradl, there was a time a couple of years ago when he looked very promising, but like Crutchlow and Bautista, he kept falling off. He is obviously well used to the Hondas, but I doubt he will be a threat to the likes of Quatararo, Vinales, Dovi, Rossi, or even Nakagami, on Sunday.

Speaking of which, I cannot find signs of any regular satellite TV coverage of the race?

Correction, looks like it is aired on Dish on NBCSP (channel 159) Sunday 4:30am-6:00am. (and repeated Sunday 10:30pm-12:00)

MM out for awhile?
Rossi smiles every morning.
There's a chance for him this season.
Sure, Quart's in the way.
But maybe he will be susceptible to 46's old mental warcraft.
And some of Lin Jarvis' stach of crummy parts from the Ben Spies team.

Ouch!!! Sorry to hear of the hard left. I'm sure that has been putting a damper on riding. I hope it heals quicker than quick.

Starting to look like it. Be a good time to be French, I think.

Nakagami leads in FP1, and a high speed crash by Bagnala sends him to the medical center.

[Allred]

Quartararo leads FP2, and news that Bagnala's leg injury will keep him out of both Brno and Austria GPs

[motogrady]

Cooler temps should help with tires and the guys coming off off injury.  They are saying this track is good forDucati.

And Zarco is gonna do good.  I had a dream.

Thanks Double F.  Its a genuine PITA.   i should be in Wendover right now.   Its been going bad for years but never enough to keep me from going.  Until this year.    My sell by date is approaching and I'd like one more shot on the salt.  Its being worked on and hopefully will be good by this time net year.  I miss this.   https://youtu.be/r5EBHbk3Ito

How's the Weslake?

[Allred]

Zarco gets pole......disappointment that Rossi is down in 10th, he looked so promising in practice, .....Dovi starting from 18th (!).....and the two factory Repsol Hondas last and second-to-last on the grid!!!!!

THAT was cool to see!

Zarco looking confident and unleashed in Q.
