That’s interesting Jon, not seen that, wonder if MV is the same, that could be just down to a pure aggressive style and how he puts the power down? Saying that with modern electronics, thought they would be able to sort it, If it’s both riders, that’s a problem!
Still think the factory Honda is the benchmark myself in moto GP. Yamaha was poor last year, not to mention the engine and brake problems! MV 120mph dismount was amazing to see!
I think with FQ they have made a fantastic signing that could bring them success for many years if they can give him a decent bike, he is fast, some real competition for MM 
Like you mention though, all about the tires and preservation for me, no point black lining them out of every corner 
Can’t rule out Suzuki for me, what they have done with that bike is amazing!

Hi Chris
Biggest news for me is FQ can't put it together, he's apparently burning up every rear tyre he's been given. If that's the case all the Yamaha riders will struggle getting the power down.
Same old unfixed problem?

You know he won’t be far off MM Jon, love him or loathe him, he is competitive and ruthless 
FQ on the factory Yamaha, hope they give him a decent bike
JM on the factory Ducati, I like Miller too, deserves the ride for me!
And can Mir defend his tittle?
And thrown in KTM and the rest. all adds up to some decent racing for me, can’t wait

Hi All
They are saying down here that a final decision will be made next week, but it's most likely rat boy will at least do some of the free practices and will most likely race
Best

Not sure where Morbidelli ended up? I would have thought the Petronas was a decent bike, sure they will get the set up 
Should be an interesting start, first few races see who’s coming out on top
Yamaha have got their man there though for me with FQ, MV had better shine this year!

Watched it as well, looking forward to a great season, sad rossi is moaning again as anyone else would be told to get on with it.

Can’t get it to work?
Just watched a snippet on YouTube earlier from testing. Fabio is the man at the moment
Rossi, 20th, chassis problems

Nice one Goose
Searched the tube many a time looking for the British GP in 1989, not much about sadly

Can't remember what I was riding when I was at brands watching this, probably a gpz750 but had a slab750 later.
