:01:17. > :01:21.wins in Qatar! We are making history, across the line! Raced two,
:01:22. > :01:49.first when! Records, records, records, it is
:01:50. > :01:56.another! Mark-up -- Marc Marquez wins again! He tries to come back!
:01:57. > :02:05.He has done it. Lorenzo has done it, Montez second. -- Marc Marquez.
:02:06. > :02:13.He is going again. You cannot do that. They have gone into each
:02:14. > :02:21.other. Marc Marquez, lap flag. All gay Lorenzo wins in Japan. The
:02:22. > :02:24.championship goes down to the wire. -- Jorge Lorenzo.
:02:25. > :02:29.Welcome to Valencia, the final round of the MotoGP World Championship and

:02:52. > :03:01.points between them at the top. Only a mistake from Marc Marquez can deny
:03:02. > :03:05.him the title. A top finish will be enough. No other changes in the top
:03:06. > :03:12.five whatever happens tomorrow. SoCal Critchlow is safe and
:03:13. > :03:19.Valentino Rossi is fourth at the end of a difficult season after his
:03:20. > :03:21.return to Yamaha which has ended in controversial fashion. A story
:03:22. > :03:29.wreaked in the Italian press that after 14 years, Valentino Rossi was
:03:30. > :03:35.planning to sack his crew chief. But he has decided to sack him after 14
:03:36. > :03:40.years together. That was leaked in the week and it was confirmed here
:03:41. > :03:41.by Valentino Rossi on Thursday afternoon and yesterday evening, in
:03:42. > :04:01.a press expecting it. I knew yesterday
:04:02. > :04:07.afternoon when Valentino invited me into his trailer that we were not
:04:08. > :04:11.going in for the Christmas bonus! I have read many sports biographies
:04:12. > :04:17.and quite often, in many cases, the top sportsmen in the latter part of
:04:18. > :04:23.their careers have a change of coach. This is what we are working
:04:24. > :04:28.on now, we have always worked on fixing the problems and we have
:04:29. > :04:32.worked for four years trying to do that and this is part of the fit.
:04:33. > :04:42.The next step to get him back on top. -- fix.
:04:43. > :04:49.We spoke together, I tried to explain that I need to change to
:04:50. > :05:10.something different. Like you said, a new boost. More motivation. And
:05:11. > :05:14.something different. Like you said, that announcement, a shock
:05:15. > :05:21.announcement for JB and is, what is the feeling like in the team? -- and
:05:22. > :05:26.for us. It is far from ideal to have this happen before any grant the and
:05:27. > :05:34.to have it happen at all. -- Grand Prix. But we expect the decision --
:05:35. > :05:38.but we respect the decision but it leaves a question about most of the
:05:39. > :05:42.people in the garage because JP has been a part of the team for ten
:05:43. > :05:47.years or longer. Ten years since he joined Yamaha. It will take time for
:05:48. > :05:51.people to understand what it means and only on Monday will people
:05:52. > :05:59.really understand what it means to not have JB -- JP in the garage. It
:06:00. > :06:01.seems to be strangely handled. They would talking about the need to
:06:02. > :06:21.change. would talking about the need to
:06:22. > :06:27.Nobody knows. Rider felt he needed a change in the organisation. If this
:06:28. > :06:35.gives him a new organisation and motivation and a different system,
:06:36. > :06:38.it may work. The chief has done excellent work and he knows
:06:39. > :06:45.Valentino and Yamaha inside out so we have no complaints about what he
:06:46. > :06:48.has done and so it is an unknown factor. But it is something
:06:49. > :06:53.Valentino believed in so we will see.
:06:54. > :07:01.We have yet to hear who the new crew chief will be but a big weekend for
:07:02. > :07:08.Jorge Lorenzo and Yamaha. What is his feelings going into this race?
:07:09. > :07:11.He is relaxed and come -- and confident, and he is fast. It is
:07:12. > :07:32.just to try to render confident, and he is fast. It is
:07:33. > :07:36.for the race. Marc Marquez has been fastest in every session so far and
:07:37. > :07:41.a new lap record, is that a good thing or a bad thing for Jorge
:07:42. > :07:45.Lorenzo? Perhaps he wants Marc Marquez to be confident enough and
:07:46. > :07:57.pressured into a mistake. He is fastest in every session except this
:07:58. > :08:03.so it is something we expected. I do not think we can hope anything
:08:04. > :08:10.except for Marc Marquez to put pressure on him. It is a big ask but
:08:11. > :08:14.in racing, anything is possible. We have had times this year Jorge
:08:15. > :08:19.Lorenzo was out due to injury, Valentino has been taken out by
:08:20. > :08:21.Alvaro Bautista, crazy things can happen in racing. We are still in
:08:22. > :08:45.the game which we happen in racing. We are still in
:08:46. > :08:51.other tactics to put the pressure on Mark -- two. In practice yesterday,
:08:52. > :08:56.Marc turns round and there was a shake of the head. All in good
:08:57. > :09:01.humour. Team Principal for Repsol Honda Team how is Marc handling the
:09:02. > :09:09.weekend? A lot of expectation and pressure. It is not the first time
:09:10. > :09:15.he has been in Valencia. He is young but he has a lot of experience and
:09:16. > :09:23.he is OK. Yesterday on track, he was fast and comfortable. Jorge Lorenzo
:09:24. > :09:30.is very strong. Five point separate the top three. -5 points. We have
:09:31. > :09:32.seen it so many times this season but Marc only knows one way to ride,
:09:33. > :09:53.on the edge. not perfect, they should still
:09:54. > :10:00.manage to maintain a position. Thank you. So Jorge Lorenzo was fastest in
:10:01. > :10:05.the practice but twice a couple of moments ago but that did not count
:10:06. > :10:08.towards the qualifying order. That is decided from everybody outside
:10:09. > :10:18.the top ten after the fact this morning. Marc was quickest in that
:10:19. > :10:22.session. Faster than Dani Pedrosa 's opposition record from last season.
:10:23. > :10:36.Lorenzo a temp outside that so the pace very hot at the top. -- Lorenzo
:10:37. > :11:08.is one tenth. macro. -- Esparargo. It will be
:11:09. > :11:17.great to see Colin strutting his stuff at the top end. They hope to
:11:18. > :11:21.have two bikes for the test and it is pretty much going to be Bradley
:11:22. > :11:26.Smith 's bike. Just with different bodywork. They have a year to build
:11:27. > :11:32.their own chassis so they will be busy holding that to use and carry
:11:33. > :11:36.on with. But to start with, it will be Bradley Smith 's bike. An
:11:37. > :11:45.interesting package and I am sure Colin Edwards is looking forward to
:11:46. > :11:49.that. But by a very big margin, that test, which is always the Monday
:11:50. > :11:53.after the last race at Valencia, is the most fascinating because if
:11:54. > :12:12.anybody is changing bikes, the most fascinating because if
:12:13. > :12:17.and was almost last. Casey Stoner got of the Ducati Team was seconds
:12:18. > :12:24.-- second-fastest on the Ducati Team. But Valentino Rossi had a
:12:25. > :12:29.shoulder injury. On Wednesday, key was thinking, I have not done the
:12:30. > :12:36.right thing! -- he was thinking. Nicky Hayden will be on the
:12:37. > :12:43.production, -- production Honda. He will be riding that. Bradley Smith
:12:44. > :13:03.will be joined by Espargaro. It is quite interesting. We have
:13:04. > :13:20.different variants. You have your full factory
:13:21. > :13:22.different variants. You have your Yamaha R Efren -- offering engines,
:13:23. > :13:31.there will be different speeds, Exeter. And different fuel. The sort
:13:32. > :13:35.of customer bikes can run 24, but they have to run different engine
:13:36. > :13:40.management systems, so it is complicated. Dorna are hoping by the
:13:41. > :13:47.end of next year, 2014, everything will be fairly similar. The factory
:13:48. > :13:51.bikes will have constraints with the lap of fuel they have so it is
:13:52. > :13:56.hoping -- it is hoped we will end up with one simple class. There never
:13:57. > :14:01.will be a simple class because the big budget teams can afford better
:14:02. > :14:05.riders. We are just simple commentators but it would make
:14:06. > :14:09.perfect sense to do that! By changing the regulations bit by bit,
:14:10. > :14:40.the organisers are hoping it becomes compelling for the factory bikes.
:14:41. > :14:52.first lap of this session. This is a 15 minute session with the slower
:14:53. > :14:57.guys. Ten guys are locked in to the qualifying two. Two of the riders
:14:58. > :15:01.out on the track so there are 16, they will go through into the final
:15:02. > :15:10.qualifying session. Ten minutes of the session, fastest at the moment
:15:11. > :15:16.is Claudio Corti. But we would expect, you would have to think
:15:17. > :15:17.Andrea Iannone would squeeze through and Espargaro. They would be the
:15:18. > :15:45.favourites. is struggling with a hand injury. A
:15:46. > :15:56.pinky injury. This is Colin Edwards, the last weekend he will be riding
:15:57. > :16:00.that Kawasaki engine. He is also a good battle at around this circuit.
:16:01. > :16:10.There is not a great deal of wind, perfect conditions. The sun is out.
:16:11. > :16:22.Oh, my goodness me. That is Michel Pirro. He is on the factory test
:16:23. > :16:27.bike. There's a Pramac colours. Oh, my goodness me. That is the end of
:16:28. > :16:32.the session for him. Only eight minutes remaining. That could be a
:16:33. > :16:55.Cal Crutchlow bike. It could well be.
:16:56. > :16:58.Cal Crutchlow bike. It could well good time. They are good times,
:16:59. > :17:03.conditions couldn't be better. Most of these guys, they will be running
:17:04. > :17:08.the softer tyre, they get the softer option than the Factory bikes.
:17:09. > :17:12.Generally doing about three or four laps around this circuit. This is
:17:13. > :17:28.one of the shortest circuits we go to. You will see some extra people
:17:29. > :17:38.around here. 26 on the grid. There are lots of people having a go on
:17:39. > :17:43.the factory test bikes. All these people will shuffle around.
:17:44. > :18:03.the factory test bikes. All these having a look at what is going on.
:18:04. > :18:16.They're putting a rear tyre on that Aprilia. Do you think a short
:18:17. > :18:22.circuit like this, is it more or less of an advantage to someone like
:18:23. > :18:25.Aspagaro? I would have said about six tenths of it is an advantage and
:18:26. > :18:31.then we've got a pretty long straight. 200 miles an hour
:18:32. > :18:35.straight. That is where they will lose out. You're coming off a very
:18:36. > :18:40.slow corner. And it is a bit of a drag race down to the bottom, so
:18:41. > :18:46.they will lose time. On a twisty circuit, on the twisty parts of this
:18:47. > :18:53.circuit, the first few laps of the race especially for someone like
:18:54. > :18:54.Aspagaro is great. Now, they've got a front end problem, the dumping or
:18:55. > :19:13.the front a front end problem, the dumping or
:19:14. > :19:22.Very impressive. There he is, in 11th place in front of Iannone,
:19:23. > :19:27.Pirro, Colin Edwards, and Bradley Smith. Terrific performance from him
:19:28. > :19:34.on a bike that is readily available, still not cheap goods they are still
:19:35. > :19:41.about half 1 million euros. There was bike number 68, the Pramac
:19:42. > :19:47.machine of Yonny Hernandez. There is Pirro explaining what he did with
:19:48. > :19:54.his motorbike. He might get out for a quick lap. I'm not sure. We have
:19:55. > :19:59.five minutes remaining. He is unlikely to get out and get out
:20:00. > :20:04.faster. That's a good point. He has almost certainly missed the cut. So,
:20:05. > :20:27.five better all year long. He has been
:20:28. > :20:33.learning the bike as he goes. He has gone on to this bike, the full-blown
:20:34. > :20:40.Aprilia. How would you say his year has gone? He has had a great year,
:20:41. > :20:45.bearing in mind he came to the circuits and switched bikes. It was
:20:46. > :20:49.very tough at the beginning because that first bike was brand-new,
:20:50. > :20:53.different electronics on it, everything had to be sorted out, and
:20:54. > :20:58.it was tough in those early days. He got faster and faster. Honestly, he
:20:59. > :21:03.was starting to beat the IRTA machine which Yonny Hernandez was
:21:04. > :21:10.riding. Something British made getting better and being ridden by a
:21:11. > :21:34.British rider, brilliant stuff. So, let's take a look at the places.
:21:35. > :21:44.is very good. Also, Colin Edwards is moving further up. The unmistakable
:21:45. > :21:49.riding style of Colin Edwards. On the front of the handlebars,
:21:50. > :21:52.virtually. That is dirt tracking experience for you as well. That is
:21:53. > :21:59.where he comes from, the Colin Edwards Boot Camp we visited earlier
:22:00. > :22:05.in the year. That is a better time for him. Look at this, though,
:22:06. > :22:15.Iannone and Petrucci, of all things. Here comes Iannone. This looks
:22:16. > :22:18.like, it might get him to the top. Yes, by more than a 10th. Petrucci
:22:19. > :22:45.is on a great lap as well. Yes, by more than a 10th. Petrucci
:22:46. > :22:53.lap time for him, bearing in mind 30 -- 30 2.8 was his best. Hernandez
:22:54. > :23:01.has improved, too. Petrucci was chipping away in the background, and
:23:02. > :23:06.he has done well. You can see his size, he is a big lad, especially in
:23:07. > :23:12.the police force he was in, can you see the rear tyre? It is being
:23:13. > :23:20.squashed down into the track. He throws the bike up as quick as he
:23:21. > :23:25.can, transferring his body weight. Looking for the next corner,
:23:26. > :23:29.flinging himself. He is on a CRT machine, so that rear tire you are
:23:30. > :23:35.looking at is softer than the rear tyres on Iannone's bike. But there
:23:36. > :23:55.are, he tyres on Iannone's bike. But there
:23:56. > :24:02.Barbera got called out. Certainly down to turn one. Iannone checking
:24:03. > :24:10.the time. Doesn't matter. He's locked himself in it. Hector Barbera
:24:11. > :24:15.area, he is out. He has overdone it. Oh, no. I spoke too soon. There is
:24:16. > :24:19.Yonny Hernandez taking the long walk back to explain to the boss what
:24:20. > :24:27.he's done. Contrition is too late, you've broken it! Just folded out
:24:28. > :24:33.there. Relatively painless from a cost point of view. Very costly from
:24:34. > :24:39.a grid point of view. Let's just say, he lost the front as he got off
:24:40. > :24:44.the brakes, tipped it in there. That is a fast corner, too. Very fast!
:24:45. > :25:15.Bit of gesticulation there. is a fast corner, too. Very fast!
:25:16. > :25:20.good. Look at this, he's made up a lot of time in this section. This is
:25:21. > :25:26.turned 13. He's got it spinning up through there. Soft front tyre and
:25:27. > :25:35.soft rear. One more corner to go. If he can fire it over the line, it
:25:36. > :25:40.will put it over. Will he do it? No! He lost the drive over the last
:25:41. > :25:45.corner. That is the difference between CRT and MotoGP. The first
:25:46. > :26:14.four covered by 600 s. Very fast. between CRT and MotoGP. The first
:26:15. > :26:18.is Iannone and Petrucci. That's why he didn't get out of the corner of
:26:19. > :26:26.very quickly. Perhaps an electrical problem? Oil on the pipe. Unless
:26:27. > :26:31.they've got some oil on the exhaust. Anyway, it's not happened
:26:32. > :26:34.for him. Iannone and Petrucci go through to the final qualifying
:26:35. > :26:43.session taking place in about five or ten minutes time. Poor old Pirro,
:26:44. > :26:48.that last lap, when he was six hundredths off pole in this session,
:26:49. > :26:57.you had to say to yourself, she had the pace, if he hadn't made that
:26:58. > :27:03.mistake. Esparagaro, you've got to hope he has an engine problem that
:27:04. > :27:05.can be resolved. It is rare that he doesn't climb his way into the
:27:06. > :27:25.second qualifying. But not doesn't climb his way into the
:27:26. > :27:30.faster. So, Pramac win that. One Ducati up into the top half. Through
:27:31. > :27:41.Ducati s up into that next qualifier. Petrucci is through as
:27:42. > :27:47.well. That is a good turn up. 29, Iannone, who has had some injury
:27:48. > :27:55.problems this year. There is as little brother, Petrucci. He doesn't
:27:56. > :28:03.move much. He speaks when he's spoken to. In they come, bikes
:28:04. > :28:38.number 23, as you can see, and 45. going to win this championship!
:28:39. > :28:43.There's no doubt, those two guys are going through, we have a short break
:28:44. > :28:47.now, they come out and get another 15 minutes with all the top guys.
:28:48. > :28:54.You're right, the crowd here is bigger than I have ever, ever seen
:28:55. > :29:02.here are even on a Sunday. There has to be, rumour has it, they have sold
:29:03. > :29:11.at 90,000 for tomorrow. I reckon there is 70,000 here today. This
:29:12. > :29:17.circuit is extraordinary. It is a wonderful stadium, if you like, a
:29:18. > :29:21.military version of the NASCAR. Everybody can view it, high
:29:22. > :29:22.grandstands, it is said in the hillside, so people who can't afford
:29:23. > :29:44.the ticket camels back hillside, so people who can't afford
:29:45. > :29:48.on this track. Can you imagine what it is going to be liked down the
:29:49. > :29:52.local pub? You go into one of the places locally, there will be in the
:29:53. > :30:00.bike in the main bar doing a burn-out. Cheste is the town you
:30:01. > :30:06.want to go to. That is where the train station comes in, so everyone
:30:07. > :30:13.to camps back into the train at 4am. Now, what a run for Petrucci. First
:30:14. > :30:18.time in Q2. You got a great feeling out there. Your first time in Q2. It
:30:19. > :30:31.is great. It is actually the second time. Sorry! No problem. We have had
:30:32. > :30:55.very financial problems. We are very happy to go on. I think we
:30:56. > :31:01.very financial problems. We are very do in the next session? -- the last
:31:02. > :31:06.qualifying tyre. We will use another tyre for the session.
:31:07. > :31:19.A few problems in the Forward Racing garage here. An electrical problem
:31:20. > :31:24.with a main bike, what happened? Maybe a sensor does not work so the
:31:25. > :31:29.bike does not start any more. Gave a second bike but there is no way. You
:31:30. > :31:34.did quite well because his second lap on the other bike was fifth
:31:35. > :31:42.Asterix overall so perhaps he missed out on a chance for Q2. -- fifth
:31:43. > :32:03.fastest. Yes, I am sorry. I want to ask about the test later this week.
:32:04. > :32:07.fastest. Yes, I am sorry. I want to and Cudlin -- and Aleix Espargaro.
:32:08. > :32:11.Very excited. And the machine is quite something.
:32:12. > :32:20.Yes, this evening, we will have the Yamaha bikes in the garage. Thank
:32:21. > :32:25.you. No Ford racing bikes in Q2 but plenty next season.
:32:26. > :32:30.It will be very exciting because they will have half the great and
:32:31. > :32:34.MGM have astonishing hospitality. It is a very big outfit, an enormous
:32:35. > :32:40.commitment in MotoGP and through the classes. It is great to see and it
:32:41. > :32:48.is good to see independent teams like MGM, guys running and owning
:32:49. > :32:54.the teams charging on. And PBM. It is like you say in F1, you have
:32:55. > :33:14.Williams and people like that. And it is great they are now able to
:33:15. > :33:17.Williams and people like that. And positions. You need Colin for his
:33:18. > :33:24.experience. A reservoir of knowledge. With the factory Yamaha
:33:25. > :33:33.team, he came closest to winning. And in the me shall in days, their
:33:34. > :33:41.most prized higher tester. He knows the Yamaha bikes inside out. Very
:33:42. > :33:47.sad news Jerry is leaving. I have known him forever, when I was
:33:48. > :33:51.racing, he was engineering. I think his treatment has been quite
:33:52. > :33:55.bruising. All of a sudden out of nowhere, he has been dropped. That
:33:56. > :34:01.was an extremely uncomfortable as conference. I completely agree. He
:34:02. > :34:23.showed Grace under pressure but it was horrible. Very
:34:24. > :34:32.even in those circumstances, was good for a one-liner. -- quip. When
:34:33. > :34:43.he said, I knew we were not talking Christmas bonus. But faces of the
:34:44. > :34:46.crew! Yes, they will feel like the King has gone. And they all
:34:47. > :34:53.Australians attracted by him in the first place. They all travel long
:34:54. > :35:01.distances. There was an open question left either Yamaha bass
:35:02. > :35:07.about whether Valentino Rossi 's pit crew would stay. He has said he was
:35:08. > :35:11.pleased with the rest and it would be up to them if they stay. I would
:35:12. > :35:14.imagine they would, it is a great job. No point in kidding ourselves
:35:15. > :35:35.it is not. anything else. It's not imperative
:35:36. > :45:04.to get the pole position. anything else. It's not imperative
:45:05. > :45:10.to get the He's as good as anyone to get the pole position. There is no
:45:11. > :45:18.point trying to actually mail pole position by risking injuring
:45:19. > :45:30.yourself. The start is not the strongest part of markers's raise.
:45:31. > :45:36.-- Marquez's race. OK, so he's out touring. Everybody is out now. We
:45:37. > :45:46.have 4.5 minutes left. Everyone, that is the top 12, out there. He is
:45:47. > :46:08.back it! that is the top 12, out there. He is
:46:09. > :46:14.don't want to write that. It's like swapping toothbrushes! He's not
:46:15. > :46:17.happy but he's in full position. I would say he's guaranteed to be
:46:18. > :46:22.locked on the front row. Marc Marquez could possibly go faster.
:46:23. > :46:30.Cal Crutchlow, not possibly going to go faster. This is interesting,
:46:31. > :46:38.giving somebody a little wave on the pit lane. He is on the chill pill.
:46:39. > :46:43.He's very relaxed! In that helmet he is stressed. You know when you trip
:46:44. > :46:52.over and you make out you didn't want to... OK, this will get very
:46:53. > :46:54.serious. Everyone is out there, now it is starting for real. Now is
:46:55. > :47:25.Marquez out there. The second split is going to be the
:47:26. > :47:32.important one. The first split was where the big breaking moment was.
:47:33. > :47:40.Look at the intention on him. Two tenths on the first split.
:47:41. > :47:44.Look at the intention on him. Two second! He looked as if he was
:47:45. > :47:55.riding a broken toilet seat, but he is four tenths up! Not possible!
:47:56. > :48:05.Smith, third? Well done, Bradley, nice work! Love your work. That's
:48:06. > :48:26.amazing! Did they not talk to this guy? He
:48:27. > :48:32.amazing! Did they not talk to this What about T2, 93? He's done it! He
:48:33. > :48:38.was OK on the last split. OK? The rest of it was a screamer. That's
:48:39. > :48:44.pretty much what he did in free practice. Actually six tenths faster
:48:45. > :48:52.than he has been all day. I think you can part, sunshine. Yes, be in
:48:53. > :48:57.the Garrard, not the gravel. That's the corner. That top corner is
:48:58. > :49:03.critical as well. And then you work around the back. One minute
:49:04. > :49:07.remaining, Marc Marquez is four tenths faster. There is daddy.
:49:08. > :49:18.Fingers crossed. You don't need to bother any more. What will Jorge
:49:19. > :49:36.Lorenzo do? This is the lap to build the speed up.
:49:37. > :49:40.Lorenzo do? This is the lap to build and just power and fire the bike
:49:41. > :49:54.out. Look, you can compromise that my survey. You don't often see Dani
:49:55. > :50:06.Pedrosa sideways! That must have lost him sometime. Will he make the
:50:07. > :50:15.front row? Yes, he has. He's got another lap. Bautista has had an
:50:16. > :50:21.excursion through the gravel. The chequered flag is out. This is more
:50:22. > :50:58.than excursion. It's so it We told him to put it in the
:50:59. > :51:04.Garrard! There is the measure, Steve. That's a great lap. You can
:51:05. > :51:11.see the body language, he wasn't pleased to go out on this bike. He
:51:12. > :51:20.has gone faster. Even so, there is a cheeky monkey on the Honda that is
:51:21. > :51:26.three tenths down the road from him. Dani Pedrosa, he could move up, he
:51:27. > :51:31.could dispose with Jorge Lorenzo's second place on the grid. It'll be
:51:32. > :51:55.close. He hasn't done it. He's missed it. Under a tent. So close.
:51:56. > :51:58.close. He hasn't done it. He's markers, Lorenzo, Pedrosa, it sums
:51:59. > :52:04.up the Championship. Now, that's what I'm talking about. What?
:52:05. > :52:12.There's nothing you can do to slow him down. That breaking your talking
:52:13. > :52:17.about where he tries to tip it in even though he's only on the front
:52:18. > :52:22.wheel. And that corner is where he leans the bike over most. 61 degrees
:52:23. > :52:27.lean angle. It is uphill and captures a lot of people out. It is
:52:28. > :52:34.easy to lock up the front. Have a look at this. He is such a good
:52:35. > :52:46.starter, Lorenzo. He's going to be alongside Marquez, that's his best
:52:47. > :52:47.shot. I love the sound of that. Honda win the award for best
:52:48. > :53:07.sounding motorcycle. Honda win the award for best
:53:08. > :53:17.lap goes back to 2008 for Casey Stoner.
:53:18. > :53:31.So, 8.5 out of ten. Now, the lap record, I think it will be blasted
:53:32. > :53:39.tomorrow. Here is this slow Mo. Just watch this. We have seen clearer
:53:40. > :53:50.shots, I continue the back wheel is nowhere near. That is actually an in
:53:51. > :53:57.lap. That is not a good lap to be looking at. We've seen much better
:53:58. > :54:16.ones. He is getting a fan base, no doubt. Of course, he is in
:54:17. > :54:20.ones. He is getting a fan base, no bikes. There's something seriously
:54:21. > :54:23.wrong. I'm sure we will find out what it was but I'd imagine it was
:54:24. > :54:27.something like an electronics glitch, something wasn't working. We
:54:28. > :54:36.saw the same with Esparagaro, the front fork issues, it always goes
:54:37. > :54:40.wrong at the crucial time. It is a metaphor for life, really. So, there
:54:41. > :54:49.is dad, dad had his fingers crossed. Everything stayed on the
:54:50. > :55:00.track. Just. Lorenzo was thinking. That is a forced smile. He looks so
:55:01. > :55:04.strong. We went on a come and we said he looked so strong in the
:55:05. > :55:28.practice. But he will hope he has got consistency tomorrow.
:55:29. > :55:39.That is quite a big margin between first and second. It has been a
:55:40. > :55:46.perfect afternoon. What an extraordinary time for Marc Marquez.
:55:47. > :55:55.It just is amazing to watch his year and the way it is finishing. That
:55:56. > :56:02.points to an absolutely monstrous speed. Marc, we could see pushing
:56:03. > :56:06.and pushing. You push the pole position. The best start for the
:56:07. > :56:12.biggest race of your life tomorrow. We knew it was important this
:56:13. > :56:16.Saturday because especially because the starter is not my best point.
:56:17. > :56:37.But it was important to start from the front row.
:56:38. > :56:40.But it was important to start from moments there, but it was my mistake
:56:41. > :56:47.because I went up from the corner a little bit, but tomorrow, we need to
:56:48. > :56:55.do some things, but I am ready for the race.
:56:56. > :57:03.Good luck. He is not fazed at all. So, let's confirm the front row.
:57:04. > :57:07.Marquez, Lorenzo, Pedrosa. Then Rossi and Crutchlow, and Bradley
:57:08. > :57:11.Smith up on the second row. Bautista, Stefan Bradl, and dread of
:57:12. > :57:27.the year zero so. So, Marquez, times like that, he's
:57:28. > :57:47.going to be unbeatable! Laverty, 21st, bearing in mind it is
:57:48. > :57:49.So, what a shot that is. I'm wondering if Jorge Lorenzo did
:57:50. > :57:54.somehow win the Championship tomorrow, I wonder if he will jump
:57:55. > :58:02.into that pond? We did see that. It was a great test of whether the
:58:03. > :58:09.airbags would work. Do they bring you to the top? The speeds are
:58:10. > :58:15.terrifying around here. I think it is going to be an absolute belter of
:58:16. > :58:19.a race tomorrow. Lots at stake. The speeds are out of this world. They
:58:20. > :58:23.are. Jorge Lorenzo will need more than an airbag to keep him afloat.
:58:24. > :58:32.The odds are stacked against him for the season finale. Will it be 99-1?
:58:33. > :58:37.Join us on BBC Two from 1230 PM to find out whether this is motorcycle
:58:38. > :59:01.racing at its best, and anything can happen. We will see you tomorrow.
