9th August we are back on in Indianapolis. The week thereafter 16th in Brno. I will miss watching both races live, unfortunately. Silverstone i will be back with the popcorn on the 30th.

Just wish Rossi wins both, I'll have them downloaded

and ready to be shared.
The post race article on motomatters states that while Yamahas thrive on traction from the surface, the current Honda's do so on the lack of it. Indi might be a good track for honda, but come Brno, if the bike remains the same as now(which I doubt) then the Honda's might be seen looking at the tail end of both the Yamahas.

Probably because Marquez seems to slide the motorcycle more than anybody else especially around fast sweeping corners? And that whatever-lack-of-traction-from-surface helps him do that probably.

That is true as of now. The summer break is long indeed. A break long enough for Honda to rectify their braking problems!

Hopefully Marquez/ Lorenzo will win and Rossi comes in 3rd. Will make the championship all the more interesting and hopefully decided at Valencia!

From Marquez' comments in various places. The problem he is currently facing is with stopping the bike under hard braking. The rear starts stepping out and sliding. Earlier he would be sliding the bike under his control. Now the rear slides of its own volition and he has to try his best to control it. Thus having to either brake earlier for a corner or risk losing the front, as we have seen him do multiple times this year.

He earlier also had a problem while exiting corners, the rear spinning on initial throttle and then suddenly gripping, not allowing a smooth drive out of the corner. This apparently has been solved which allowed him to be competitive till the end at Assen.

Sachsenring doesn't have many hard braking zones, thus the weakness of the RCV was masked, which is why at the end of the race Rossi was so confident that he will once again be on top come Indianapolis.

After The Flag from Sachsenring. They are really doing a good job with ATF this season. Last season was a disaster -

I don't blame Morbidelli. It was the last lap, Rabat had just overtaken him, he was fighting for his first podium. Got over enthusiastic on the brakes and handed the podium to Rins.

One mustn't forget that Morbidelli is Italian and trains with the legendary Rossi

If you can't take out Marquez in MotoGP, get his friend in Moto2

Fortunately Tito's recently operated collarbone was intact, unfortunately he cracked a rib in the crash. Fortunately he has a month to recover to full fitness. Unfortunately, the title hunt is all but over for him!

That use of "fortunate - unfortunate" reminded me of Assen's last corner which goes "right-left-right"

Yep saw this episode in the morning. The host, I guess she's British, has gained some weight in the past couple of months.

In this episode they also included a complied analysis of tyre choices by the top 3 riders in every race from round 1-9. I expected them to come to some conclusion as to which track suits which tyres, but at the end they say - "we couldn't come up with a conclusion, as it's very complicated". Now I understand that it was complicated and that's why I never got into analyzing one thing out of the whole race weekend to predict the results. Why the hell did they show the tyre choices in the first place when it doesn't matter when your talking about the whole season. They should take one race at a time, just like the riders.

Married men tend to keep an eagle eye on other women eh

Regarding tyres read the article by Mat Oxley shared by Worrisome. He also writes an entire article about tyres and comes to no conclusion

That is why MotoGP is awesome!

That's why I say you catch me off guard :P

Well tires were always part of the winning formula, it's just that this year the bikes are so equally competitive that the importance of right tire choice has increased. Last year the honda was way better than the Yamaha and no matter what tyre Yamaha chose, they were rarely able to come close to the Honda's. That's not the case this year.

Forward Racing might shut down due to corruption charges (yes it doesn't happen only in India

) That would make Bradl free to ride another bike -

Bradl really deserves a good motoGP ride.

The Sachsenring GP had GoPros on EVERYTHING, Even the Champagne bottles that the riders celebrated with.

Neat footage.

Yep saw this when it was launched, but I like my Ninja compared to R25. The R25 Monster graphics graphics aren't as loud as the ones on the actual M1 or my Ninja 250.
