    Too bad Hayes wasn't closer to the Zooks in race 2, that could have been a real nail biter.

    Pedrobot had the pace, Rossi could not hang. If MM will bin it a couple of times it might exciting at the end of the season, otherwise all he had to do is finish in the top 5-6.......

    Pedro came out of nowhere, great run too. I thought Rins did an incredible job as well, riding while injured. I also like the way Binder did that last corner move, good stuff in the Moto2/3 classes. Not sure what's up with Zarco though, I think he'll be toe to toe with Rins the remainder of the year, which should make for some good racing. Binder however can almost phone in the next few races!

    Great racing fer sure--- think Zarco getting mugged messed with his head--- after his lap times where way off
    Good for Pedro--- it's about time, guess he saved that soft front for the attack--- at least Jorge was honest, no excuses

    But he still took the opportunity to bitch and moan about Valetino passing him so aggressively! Seriously?!

    That. Especially when Pedrosa did the exact same thing to Rossi and then Rossi simply said, meh, that's racing.

    Lorenzo isn't used to being in the position he's in......Fast as anybody ever, but always had a chip. Good on Dani, if you're gonna win one race all year....put it to Rossi at his home track in front of all his people :wedgie: Marquez just has to cruise now.....he might not, but that is the whole story for the rest of 2016.

    Are they hittin the pipe over there or what

    It's due to stricter emission regulations over in Europe. Sales are not as good as the effort it would take to make the bike pass. I believe there was a post on the forum sometime ago.

    I'm hoping KTM will pick up the slack. Honda hasn't done much with the 600 or the 1000 for quite awhile anyway. Busy making pit bikes for adults that are afraid of real motorcycles.

    I think Honda is focused on making money with these.
    http://world.honda.com/NewMidConcept/

    And with the adventure market that is huge with the African Twin and the Cross Runner and Cross Tourer. Sport bikes in 600 and 1000 are not the big money makers. The little 250 is a big market too.

    Wow, moving to WSBK was the right move for Nicky Hayden!

    If they do a good job on the new bike, he could very well be world champion again.
