Was a fantastic day at COTA. Cold day for racing though - we basically froze. I'll have to say it's a bit more of an interesting track than Indy. Very hilly. It's been quite the crash fest so far, with turn 2 collecting several unsuspecting riders, including Marc. Hope we don't have more DNFs as CB4ME said.
Got to see Crutchlow, Miller, Marquez and Pedroza in a little Honda tent Q&A thing. Cal whined about the bumps and said they shouldn't allow cars on the track. He said the track was "s**t". *sigh* The other riders were more circumspect. I'd have to say that Dani is the crowd favorite.
As for the racing, Lorenzo worked hard to improve through the day to finish on the second row and Rossi was also peaking at the right time to end up in third after running no better than p8 to p10. It's a packed front two rows with the usual suspects and the newcomer Zarco.
Should be fun tomorrow!
