Funny to see that the 2 best MotoGP riders on the paddock have the 2 last numbers of it as well :lol:
Coincidence? :odd:

Don't believe so

He has a planned operation in early december time, so I think he decided to rest and not make the neck worse. But they said that the pain wasn't related to his operation, as the operation is to remove a plate, so could just be a simple pulled muscle, who knows. But doesn't sound serious, just probably needs to rest.👍
 
Successful "arm-pump" surgery for Bradl.

“After the arm pump problem I suffered in Japan this year at Motegi GP I had my first medical check with Dr Mir two weeks ago and together with the Team we decided to have this surgery quickly. The operation turned out really well and Dr. Mir told me my arm was better than he thought, so I am really pleased we took the decision and operated. It’s weird to celebrate the birthday at the hospital but some of my technicians came to visit me and the medical staff have been very nice with me.”

Does anyone know if Yamaha will be having some sort of private test? like Honda and Ducati have had in the last week.
 
Would anyone be interested in a fantasy competition along the lines of what I run for F1 and NASCAR? I'm thinking of doing a MotoGP competition next year.
