    I see Crutchlow's longtime crew chief is working with Petrucci now. Interesting.

    Speculation that there is something really different about the Aprilia frame. Not sure what it is.

    Were the lap times for Little Marquez shared? I'm curious where he landed in comparison to Miller. I realize they are riding different bikes, so apples to slightly less good apples, but I think it is interesting! :evil

    Jack Miller - 61 laps - +3.658 ---- slow customer Honda from 2014
    Alex Marquez - 12 laps - +5.683 ---- Marc's factory RCV (rain mode? :D)

    I watched the coverage. The brothers just went out for a play for a handful of laps. You can't read anything into the times.

    Alex was pushing enough to run off the track into turn 1. :wink:

    I think running off was a result of the time/space compression the MotoGP bike is capable of in comparison to his regular Moto3 ride. I'm sure those braking markers were coming up REAL fast!

    Suzuki better pull it's head out. Too many blown motors...sorry, technical difficulties, already and it's only a wildcard race.

    Not positive, but I don't think they had any issues in testing today and both riders put in around 60 laps each. A Esp already faster than RDP after his first day on the bike.

    His qualifying time on the M1 Saturday was 1:31.486

    Best time on day 1 of testing the Zuki was 1:32.315. Best to wait until testing is over and see what his times are then.
