Can't really win a race practice, the bike setup and tires are very different during the race, so, say Rossi is off Marquez' pace by one second in practice, he may well run faster or as fast in the race due to tires, tire wear, bike setup. Qualifying is important, though, one can certainly "win" pole position. Amazing to see Vinales right up there as well as Crutchlow. Suzuki is having a stunning year.
Watching FP4 on Videopass right now. USA used to own GP racing, for 25 years, "Roberts to Roberts" but we have lost our interest in motorcycle racing lately. Seemed to fade with the 2-strokes.
