I’m there. Rode the Busa from Chicago to Austin yesterday. 1136 miles in 20-1/2 hours to get my IBA certification. Rode the Three Sisters today.

Looking forward to see if my boy Marquez can make it 7 wins in a row there.

You go through any of that blizzard up through that way?

So through FP1&2 it's been the Marquez/Vinales show.
Austin MotoGP - Free Practice (2) Results
Also a few pics of the Ducati wheel spats and Honda's new wing.

FP2 was like a qualifying session ! i guess the forecast of rain prompted it.

Weather is a killer today. MotoGP has thunderstorms, WSBK in Assen snowed out and Supercross in Denver is snowing!

So a talking point is JLs honda spat a chain hard on the gas onto the home straight in Q2 this happened to MM the other week to, Simon Crafar thought it could be down to the carbon swingarm flexing - sounds feasible ?
Great job by Fallens mate VR , now this is gonna be great seeing as VR does'nt have to 'make' progress from waay back to fight for a podium
Circuit conditions looked really tricky for the riders with damp patches causing time killing slides and the wind
giving some spectacular tank slappers

Watching the onboard of Lorenzo was cringeworthy. Bike just started reving wildly coming onto the straight. Watching the tankslappers Marquez was getting on the back straight equally so.

Apparently flexing in the CF swingarm. That two chain jumps in 2 weeks. Looks like Honda has a problem....

Lovin' the Subaru shirt you're wearing, I have a 2010 Legacy and was a Subaru tech for 25 years!
Great cars!

 

[bigoltool]

Wow! Cool end to that one.

 

[bigoltool]

Again, the only one who can beat Marquez is Marquez. Great ride by Rins to hold off Vale! Lorenzo needs some new mechanics or a good luck charm?

 

[Cantab]

Jack Miller best Ducati well earned 3rd
Dovi won out in the end of this weekend, quailfied no where got 5th and now leading on the points.

Great win for Rins and Suzuki Great last few sectors from Rossi tho

 

[Cantab]

Mavs ride thru or long lap ? Team comms stuff up...? Easy for us to know sitting back its a ride thru.

I had a 2005 LGT, vf52 swapped turbo, and the sti 5spd vlsd front differential. Thing was a blast to autocross. I was placing with all-season on people couldn't believe it. Think my best 1/4 was 12.7 with a terrible 60ft.
