Iannone on pole, Marquez out in Q1

[kiwikrasher]

The world has turned upside down!

1 second covers the first 14 positions, going to be a great race I think!

Marquez needs to join Ducati next year.

Marquez was really struggling in braking which is usually his and Hondas strength.

Iannone rode a brilliant lap, injured too, respect.

Wasn't that Marquez's issue last round as well?

[duke63]

Rumours are that its engine braking causing issues. Something they can only try and change by remapping the engine I think.

Did you see him when he missed out on going through to q2 ? First time I have seen Marquez rattled.

Are cracks starting to appear ?????

Hats off to Iannone for pole.

Dovi has more race experience and race craft but ultimately IMO iannone is the faster racer and if Ducati management develop him correctly I think he could be a really title threat in a few years.

The Hondas don't seem up to speed. It's one thing not to be the fastest bike out there, but the normal pay off for that is good handling and good brakes. The Hondas don't seem to have any of those.

I know what your saying Kwacky. The M1 is 20 kmph slower than the Desmo on the long straight but that doesnt seem to effect Lorezno's lap time by much

Crutchlow is the quickest Honda Personally I don't think just Honda are struggling. As strange as it is to say it I think Marquez is struggling as well as Honda

Cal is one of those riders who can ride around a bike's problems. He's gifted like that.
