2016 MotoGP Discussion Thread *SPOILERS*

Marc Marquez Ends Contract with VR46 Apparel

Interesting article. I get the impression that Marquez has lost faith in anything anything and everything Rossi, even going as far as not renting a room at a mobile hotel owned by a friend of Rossi. No doubt, the media-folk in Spain & Italy are salivating right now. I'm sure they're writing sensationalist articles as we speak.

Nasty crash for Eugene Laverty due to a stuck throttle. Sounds like he might have a fractured right hand; that really sucks on the very first day of the first test of the year.
 
Lots of interesting results in testing so far. Day 1, Lorenzo dominated. Day 2, Petrucci bested him and was fastest of the day! Stoner is right up there on the time sheets & the Hondas are struggling (but improving).

Loris Baz had an enormous crash on the front straight. He went down at almost 300 kph it sounds like:

Someone in the stands managed to catch the moment

Apparently that was the soft option tire that failed. As a result, that tire was banned from use for the rest of the day and everyone had to make their fast runs on the hard option instead.
