Pistola- I can't guess why Joe os off and on in terms of speed. Is this just a rookie getting experience with different tracks? Don't know. He seems to lack confidence at times. I'm away from home and have not had time to watch yesterdays race. His equipment is good so he should be more consistent. Sometimes the race needs to come to the rider who isn't dominant.

Chance of two Grands Prix in Austin, Misano could also double up: The MotoGP may go to Texas, while the Sepang race is still uncertain. If it’s cancelled, Misano will organize 2 GPs.

Rossi: "I'm afraid when I look at the Moto3, the Race Direction has to work": "Maybe those who decide have the plane too early on Sunday. We need to talk seriously to the riders one by one, there is too much confusion, and clearly tell them doing something wrong will make them stay home.

Wait so Fabio just ripped off his chest protector?!?!? His airbag went off so he threw it down. One photo suggest his suit was not "locked" suggesting it may have come open. He seems to find it pretty funny.

Wait so Fabio just ripped off his chest protector?!?!? His airbag went off so he threw it down. One photo suggest his suit was not "locked" suggesting it may have come open. He seems to find it pretty funny. Alpinestars says the suit was working properly and that the airbag did not go off. It seems that he opened the suit and apparently threw out the protector. Pretty strange. David Emmett Why did Quartararo open his leathers in the first place? From the footage, it appears that he is trying to rearrange his chest protector, but fails and then opens his leathers and throws it away. The footage, combined with information from sources in the paddock, suggest that the chest protector had ridden up and was pressing into his neck, making it hard for him to breathe. Trying to push it down failed, so he opened his leathers, threw it away, and then couldn't get them closed again. That is difficult enough when standing in the pits, Quartararo explained. "When [the zip] is totally down you need to take the leathers and like stretch, like with a zip on a pair of jeans," he said. The zipper extends a long way down into the crotch, and in a racing crouch, it is impossible to get enough purchase on the zip to close the leathers again. Add in the air blast of a 350 km/h headwind blowing them open down the straight, and you see the problem. A black flag was the only way to get him to stop. Quartararo's fellow riders were fairly sympathetic toward the fact that he kept on riding. "Yes, it's dangerous, for sure it's dangerous, but he's fighting for a title. You think it's fair to stop a rider because maybe the zip is broken?" Aleix Espargaro asked. I think that Fabs... too sexy for his suit.
