No way Marquez could stay on 2 wheels for the full race distance in the wet Nonsense. Nas-crap won't even run in the wet. Truth. | ||

Second time Lorenzo had an issue with his HJC helmet. It fogged up so badly he couldn't see. I think HJC has some 'splainin' to do... According to an article I'd read (and I can't find it now) Ben Spies also had issues with his HJC when he was in the series. | ||

I understand the video pass did not work in th eUS at all for this race. | ||

I understand the video pass did not work in th eUS at all for this race. I watched it on Video Pass, and used the live timing app as well... No issues whatsoever. | ||

I had no problems with video pass either. | ||

I think this is what Dave was referring to: http://www.superbikeplanet.com/2015/Aug/150831b3.h tm | ||

Interesting. My service was uninterrupted, and I got no email from them other than the usual. I have, however, had issues with the feed in the past. I might have peeled some paint off the walls around here with the language I used when it locked up on the last lap at Qatar. | ||

Rossi DEFINITELY has the "home field advantage" this weekend. Not only is the track a short distance from his house in Tavulla... apparently he regularly rides a YZF-R1 on the track as part of his training... http://www.superbikeplanet.com/2015/Sep/150908c17. htm | ||

GREAT interview with the GOAT: http://www.sportrider.com/valentino-rossi-intervie w-may-best-man-win?src=SOC&dom=fb | ||

Just got the official word: MotoGP will NOT be returning to Indianapolis next year.  Guess I've seen my last MotoGP for the foreseeable future. Bring on MotoAmerica!! | ||
| Pwnzor |
I was planning to go to Austin next year anyway. | ||

Lorenzo, Marquez and Rossi on the front row! | ||
| Davegess |
WOW! all I can say  | ||
| Jaimec |
Rain: The Great Equalizer | ||
| Pwnzor |
Rossi stayed out too long. I was really sorry to see Lorenzo crash out. Wow, indeed. | ||
| Gaesati |
Luck almost always rides with the Doctor! Even when he makes a bad call he still winds up ahead! Whereas, Lorenzo's luck seems to have deserted him this year and last. Any word on his hand injury? | ||
| Davegess |
Hand is not broken is what motomatters reports. Rossi stayed out too long BUT I think he was trying to get Lorenzo to make a mistake and he may actually have accomplished that by getting him to stAy out too long and then try to catch up to Marquez too quicky. Nice to see the Brits up from. They all have a lot of experience in the rain. | ||

Smith stayed out on slicks the whole time, crashed, and landed on the podium. Balls of steel. | ||
| Jaimec |
Did he crash? I know Redding did, but I don't remember hearing about Smith crashing... Haven't seen the race yet, but unfortunately heard of the results while I was in Millville over the weekend for the MotoAmerica final. | ||
| Davegess |
Smith did not crash | ||
| Jaimec |
Ah well... it's hard for us Yanks to tell one Brit from the other... they all sound alike to us.  | ||
| Pwnzor |
yeah, I had that backwards. | ||

All I got to say is that Turn 11 is an amazing corner. I can't even fathom knee on the deck at 150 MPH. I love the telemetry shots. WHo would have known they are at nearly max lean angle thru such a high speed turn. Truly super-human riders...every one of them. Anyone catch the pre-race onboard lap WITHOUT any commentary from the Dylan Gray or rapid switching of camera angles--just the rider's perspective and sweet sound of the M1 motor. They should do that EVERY race. | ||
| Pwnzor |
MotoGP Video Pass... all the angles, all the time. I love re-watching the races with no commentary, just the sound of the motor. | ||

That new Yammy almost sounded like a two stroke.. | ||
| Fresnobuell |
Might be the way to go now that my internet and new laptop are up to the task.... Do you watch it via HDMI on your big TV? I did that with the packers game on Sunday night (Streaming) and it worked brilliantly. | ||
| Jaimec |
I know there aren't many "Superbike Planet" fans here... but this sums it up PERFECTLY: http://www.superbikeplanet.com/2015/Sep/150915vale indy.htm | ||

No wires required. I stream it from my laptop through the Chrome browser to the Chromecast which is in the side HDMI port. It works really well, and I can open multiple tabs so I can run several feeds on the laptop while watching the main view on the TV. All the while running the live timing app on my tablet. Be advised: the timing app is going to be about 15 seconds ahead of all the video feeds. | ||

Jaimec; I'm not a Stuporbike Planet fan at all; but that article was both thoughtful and insightful. Thanks for putting up the link. | ||
| Jaimec |
Here we go again... Lorenzo's speed versus Rossi's experience with two Hondas thrown into the mix. Weather looks to be dry on Sunday. Let's see how this one pans out... |
