Busby Posted August 31, 2016 Report Share Posted August 31, 2016 The motorhome and I have landed at the BRDC Farm tonight ready for Day of Champions tomorrow and the weekend of racing. Hoping for a good show from the Brits. Had a stroll on the circuit and around the paddock this evening. Lights were on in Vale's motorhome but didn't think he'd appreciate me knocking on the door for a cuppa! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burble Posted September 1, 2016 Report Share Posted September 1, 2016 We went last year and really enjoyed it despite the foul weather. We can't make it this year but will definitely be there next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonC Posted September 2, 2016 Report Share Posted September 2, 2016 Wet or dry? Rain forecast for the second practice session tomorrow and qualis. Race day forecast dry Lorenzo or Marquez for the win, I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Busby Posted September 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2016 Lorenzo will be praying for no rain on Sunday and if it rains during quali then he'll be down the grid a bit. Maverick looks quick through Vale/Club and Marquez (as ever) looks like he's about to bin it everywhere! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burble Posted September 2, 2016 Report Share Posted September 2, 2016 Marquez certainly has a unique riding style. It looks like he's riding outside the limit yet he still manages to keep it rubber side down. Amazing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't rate the M1 in wet conditions for some reason. He'll be praying for a few more dry races to have a chance at the championship title. Perhaps he's already thinking feck the M1, Desmo here I come! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seems to have lost a huge amount of confidence since crashing in the wet. Odd really as his riding style is so smooth that he should be great in the wet.

That's understandable, however a huge shame. All to play for though at the halfway stage. Enjoy the FP,'s qualis and race day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
