MotoGP Round 5 - Cirquit de Jerez ***SPOILER***

I've never been a fan of Alex, but that last lap fist pump and offering Fabio a water in the cool down room after made me like him a little more.

Amazed to see FQ stay on the podium. I thought Pecco was coming through for sure.

If Mir's never going to cross the finish line I vote that HRC donate his RC213V to BARF for "testing purposes" on local roads. Lucy can rebuild it every 1k miles and someone on here will have a plate and a Baja kit they can throw on it.

Thanks to TW for the on-site updates!

So, the first half of the GP race was interesting, but after that it simply became a procession. I guess the announcers were saying it looked as if FQ20 was in danger, but it never looked that way when they came past where I was sitting.

The Spanish fans seem pretty rabid.
The amount of bike in the parking lot made me smile!!

 

[Busy Little Shop]

I think the count was 224,000 rabid Spanish fans...

I smiled too... I could spend all day in that over filled 2 wheel parking lot and still not cover it...

I think a Yamaha buy out of KTM would benefit both Yamaha and KTM... Yamaha would get the jump on a
race bred V4... and KTM would get the jump on a MotoGp Twin Spar /Tune Flex / Aluminum frame...

Very impressed with Alex's ride, and with his interviews. Solid dude.

You can build your own RC213VS on Ron Ayers discount motorcycle parts...

That is out of the box thinking that could actually work.

Larry exercising his V4 sensibility.

I neglected to post pictures of the bike parking! Because I was feeling rushed for time I didn’t actually wander through and look at the bikes, but I sure wanted to do so.

Congrats to Alex, a well deserved win after a great season thus far.

Impressive.

Marc sliding out on a left hander was unexpected but a great win for Mr. Consistent nonetheless.

 

[Busy Little Shop]

All Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!!! in Europe you ride to MotoGp... so dust off the display bike and hit the road with your partners...

Pretty impressed Alex won with his arm looking like this

 

[budman]

That is true. Ouch.

 

[bikewanker]

Bike looked better too.

Quartararo could have turned in on Alex at turn one when he went for the pass but didn't!
It was so much like that one Rossi vs. Stoner incident I thought!
Hard track for those guys to pass that Jerez! Looks fun though!
