:03:06. > :03:48.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 42 seconds
:03:48. > :03:53.Texas. Can you still believe it? Victory in the MotoGP class is
:03:53. > :03:59.special. My target was to try to be on the podium but victory is so
:03:59. > :04:05.difficult. One of the people you are learning most from is Dani, your
:04:05. > :04:15.team-mate. We saw the pictures of you celebrating together. Yes, in
:04:15. > :04:16.
:04:16. > :04:20.MotoGP you have the respect for every rider. Everybody wants to make
:04:20. > :04:25.something between me and Dani, how is the relationship, but it is
:04:25. > :04:34.perfect. On the track, surely he wants to beat me and I want to beat
:04:34. > :04:39.him but I know he is the rider of the team. What was it like for you
:04:40. > :04:48.growing up as a racer? I was four years old with my father on a
:04:48. > :04:58.motocross bike. He spent all his free weekends on me and all his
:04:58. > :05:04.
:05:04. > :05:08.money, he saved some money but spent it on my bike or something. Me doing
:05:08. > :05:14.MotoGP is a very good present for them. You need to have respect for
:05:14. > :05:24.them but also for your team, your manager, your people, your friends,
:05:24. > :05:24.
:05:24. > :05:28.because for a ride it is important to have good stability. -- a rider.
:05:28. > :05:32.We have seen situations where you have been involved in crashes and
:05:32. > :05:37.people talk about you and you never let that affect how you ride on the
:05:37. > :05:46.track. What is the key to your confidence? When I have comments I
:05:46. > :05:54.don't like it is worse coming from here than from their! We have one
:05:54. > :06:04.more photo for you. What has it been like for you, in cats are
:06:04. > :06:12.
:06:12. > :06:20.especially? -- Qatar. He is my hero of motorbikes and he beat me but it
:06:20. > :06:29.is normal because he has a lot of experience. It is great that now I
:06:29. > :06:36.can be in a race with Valentino and follow him for some laps. You have
:06:36. > :06:41.two world titles, he has nine. Can you match that? It is quite
:06:41. > :06:49.impossible to beat what Valentino did but first I would like to have
:06:49. > :06:58.the first title in MotoGP, in two, three, four years, and then we will
:06:58. > :07:03.see about the impossible. Good luck. Just 20 years of age, Marc Marquez,
:07:03. > :07:13.and a lovely kid as well. He comes home to his home GP on top of the
:07:13. > :07:24.
:07:24. > :07:34.the three Amigos at the top. Valentino Rossi is targeting a first
:07:34. > :07:42.
:07:42. > :07:52.win of the season in a circuit where through here in a minute. We have
:07:52. > :07:57.
:07:58. > :08:07.Marc Marquez's trainer. It is amazing what he has done and we are
:08:08. > :08:10.
:08:10. > :08:16.surprised. The MotoGP class is quite difficult but he is doing a very
:08:16. > :08:22.good job. We tried to teach him a lot of things to be as fast as he
:08:22. > :08:25.can. You can see he is a great talent on the track and in our
:08:25. > :08:34.interview he comes through as a levelheaded kid. What is he like to
:08:34. > :08:44.work with? He is a young rider, a funny rider, and such a nice guy,
:08:44. > :09:01.
:09:01. > :09:07.but on the practice it is so easy to problems well. You have not had the
:09:07. > :09:17.perfect weekend in free practice. You will have to work hard to get
:09:17. > :09:19.
:09:19. > :09:29.the right setting. We have not had a good three days because it was
:09:29. > :09:39.
:09:39. > :09:44.raining. We have to wait how he can manage. He is working and he feels
:09:44. > :09:50.quite good but you never know what will happen in the race. We will do
:09:50. > :09:57.what we have to do, like we many times say, we need to finish the
:09:57. > :10:01.race. We can't wait to see what you have for us today. I think he's just
:10:01. > :10:06.gone through so we will leave you. Whatever happens today with Marc
:10:06. > :10:09.Marquez I think it is fair to say he is here to stay with that
:10:09. > :10:19.spectacular new riding style he has brought to the table, the latest
:10:19. > :10:24.
:10:24. > :10:34.stage in the evolution of MotoGP. Watch the knees come out. You can
:10:34. > :10:38.see them almost scraped the ground. When the world Championships kicked
:10:38. > :10:43.off in 1949 there was no such thing as riding style, it was all about
:10:43. > :10:46.keeping yourself nicely tucked in, legs inside, because they did not
:10:46. > :10:52.have a lot of horsepower, it was about aerodynamics. Then a man
:10:52. > :10:59.called John Cooper decided he was going to stick his leg out and
:11:00. > :11:07.started to move his weight to the inside of the bike. That style
:11:07. > :11:12.stayed with us until now. You had to start putting tape on your layers
:11:12. > :11:20.because otherwise it would dig into the track. That was the Barry Sheen,
:11:20. > :11:24.Kenny Roberts era. Then it moved on a bit more as people got more and
:11:24. > :11:34.more off the bike. Keeping the bike upright stopped you from crashing
:11:34. > :11:44.and these hard mastic pads, you could actually jam your knee into
:11:44. > :11:45.
:11:45. > :11:52.the track, pushing yourself back up. -- hard plastic. The next change in
:11:52. > :11:56.style which seemingly everybody has adopted was the dangle, leg off the
:11:56. > :12:05.foot pedals coming into the corner. It helped you to slow the bike down
:12:05. > :12:10.and pulled you into the corner but you have the weight of the foot and
:12:10. > :12:19.the leg, putting weight on the back of the bike. Just about everybody
:12:19. > :12:25.does it now. Right up-to-date now, we have another style, this man,
:12:25. > :12:33.Marc Marquez, number 93. He drags his elbows on the track, lent over
:12:33. > :12:41.about 64 degrees. Who knows how many people will adopt that style from
:12:41. > :12:49.now on? I am glad you didn't try getting
:12:49. > :12:54.your elbow down there. As Steve said, as the riders' styles change
:12:54. > :13:02.the equipment has to change. Marc Marquez has thrown up a few
:13:02. > :13:08.challenges for you and your designers, hasn't he? Yes, even in
:13:08. > :13:13.Moto two we recognise that he was getting his elbow down on the floor.
:13:13. > :13:18.I brought a couple of samples to show that when we were in Malaysia
:13:18. > :13:24.in the test we saw that he was wearing away the suit, so even be
:13:24. > :13:31.replaceable polyurethane was not working. It is kind of on the
:13:31. > :13:36.outside of the elbow. Yes, with the lean angle he is getting he has gone
:13:36. > :13:41.off the slider and onto the elbow of the suit so we took it in a stage
:13:41. > :13:47.further and now we have a magnesium slider in place so that when he
:13:47. > :13:52.wears it out we don't need to take the arm of the suit. There are a
:13:52. > :13:55.couple of younger riders who are changing their suits. Yes, I don't
:13:55. > :14:03.know if they are taking a leaf out of his book but certainly it is
:14:03. > :14:11.becoming a trend. I don't think the elbow sliders are going to be making
:14:11. > :14:15.it onto the suits just yet because for us mere mortals, usually getting
:14:15. > :14:18.your elbow on the ground is the sign of something going badly wrong. It
:14:18. > :14:23.went badly for Marc Marquez yesterday morning will stop it goes
:14:23. > :14:27.to show that even half a degree too much lean angle and you are down on
:14:27. > :14:32.the ground. One of the advantages of his style is that he does not have
:14:32. > :14:38.far to fall. He was not the only one who hit the deck yesterday, rising
:14:38. > :14:48.track temperatures as we discussed have led to more than one set of
:14:48. > :15:22.
:15:22. > :15:27.leather manufacturers and a panic for the doctors as well. Once
:15:27. > :15:34.again, the temperatures are rising. It is going to have an effect on the
:15:34. > :15:40.decisions these guys have to make. It was 56 degrees track temperature
:15:40. > :15:45.yesterday when they were qualifying and it feels hotter now. When you
:15:45. > :15:50.get the rubber and the oil, particularly on the apex of the
:15:50. > :15:55.corners, it bubbles out and firm ends and comes out, so track
:15:55. > :16:00.conditions will not be that fast today, even though the track is hot.
:16:00. > :16:05.If they picked a hard tired they can tear it up and make it worse, not
:16:05. > :16:12.better. I believe they will go for the softer tyres to keep the bikes
:16:12. > :16:17.upright. Jorge Lorenzo is the one they think they will win the race
:16:17. > :16:25.today. It has been a good weekend for him. Steve and I were watching
:16:25. > :16:31.it yesterday, not only did he set the pole position, but it is really
:16:32. > :16:38.scary the pace he has got. This is really his circuit and he has got
:16:38. > :16:43.his own corner here efficiently. That corner is a very famous corner.
:16:43. > :16:48.It is a great corner, it is a slippery call you. We have seen a
:16:48. > :16:56.few followers. But this track is a fun track to watch and it is a
:16:56. > :16:59.tricky one. There is a balm were Cal Crutchlow went down. It forces the
:16:59. > :17:08.brakes on a bit more and it is all over and they are going to have to
:17:08. > :17:13.watch that. -- bumper. This came at a crucial moment in qualifying as
:17:13. > :17:20.well. Everybody had a problem is with the hot temperatures on the
:17:20. > :17:25.track. I crash in the free practice before qualifying. But I was not too
:17:25. > :17:32.concerned with that. I knew what I had done. It is the first time I
:17:32. > :17:37.have crashed this year, but the second one I do not know, maybe
:17:38. > :17:43.there was something on the track. I do not blame it on that, I made a
:17:43. > :17:48.mistake and I ended up locking the front and crashing. But it was
:17:48. > :17:53.definitely a big crash and it made me sort. But I was pleased to get up
:17:54. > :17:58.and go back out and I do not think many other riders would do that. We
:17:58. > :18:05.know he rode with a dislocated ankle at Silverstone last year. They call
:18:05. > :18:09.him the honey badger and it is the way he tumbled. But he is a tough
:18:10. > :18:15.lad and to get out there on a bike that had just been rebuilt and they
:18:15. > :18:19.had one lap and it was a knife against his neck and he put in a
:18:19. > :18:26.faster lap. And do not forget he was the fastest in the pre-season
:18:26. > :18:36.testing. Where he has qualified, which is not bad, does not reflect
:18:36. > :18:42.how quick he is. Karel Abraham and Ben Spies are not on the grid. We
:18:42. > :18:51.thought they had run out of luck at the end of last season, but it just
:18:51. > :18:54.goes to show. Poor old Ben Spies. He changed teams and he had everything
:18:54. > :19:03.and it is a horrible situation and I look forward to seeing him back
:19:03. > :19:11.again. Karel Abraham has got a broken collarbone. What else should
:19:11. > :19:17.we be looking out for? As we were saying, we expect Cal Crutchlow to
:19:17. > :19:20.be right in the hunt. Let's not forget Valentino Rossi. He was only
:19:20. > :19:26.one tenth of with awe of the practice sessions. He was right on
:19:26. > :19:36.the pace. Valentino Rossi could use his vast experience and be on the
:19:36. > :19:39.podium. The rules are working, the softer tyres with Hector by a bearer
:19:39. > :19:47.and Espargaro up there, and if they get some good starts, they will be
:19:47. > :19:52.hard to pass. Both Spaniards and it is an all Spanish front row. There
:19:52. > :19:58.are six Spanish riders hoping to impress the home crowd today. For
:19:58. > :20:05.the Spaniards it is particularly special. It is a good feeling being
:20:05. > :20:10.here because I am surrounded by all the Spanish crowd and you feel the
:20:10. > :20:15.atmosphere and it lifts you a little bit above the floor. It is a special
:20:15. > :20:18.weekend because a of people know you and help you and all your friends
:20:18. > :20:25.come and your family, but you have to forget and you have to
:20:25. > :20:31.concentrate. When you want to show more potential, you make mistakes.
:20:31. > :20:38.think Jerez is special for every rider, not only the Spanish. It is
:20:38. > :20:44.special because you can feel the fans and the warmth. It is special,
:20:44. > :20:51.you feel it is more than a normal race. It is a good feeling. It is
:20:51. > :20:59.the special one because the people are very emotional here. They shout
:20:59. > :21:04.a lot and you can hear them even if you have plugs in your ears. You
:21:04. > :21:09.hear the people shouting at you and cheering for you. When you come to
:21:09. > :21:19.Jerez and you are on the last corner or on the last lap, fighting for
:21:19. > :21:21.
:21:21. > :21:26.victory, you take a little more risk. A really big weekend for the
:21:26. > :21:34.Spaniards. The grid is absolutely packed today. Hugh is Alvaro
:21:35. > :21:40.Bautista, his highest place in the season. You can imagine how nervous
:21:40. > :21:47.he must be hearing -- feeling now. This is Valentino Rossi. Fifth
:21:47. > :21:51.place. You never know, we saw him coming through from the middle of
:21:51. > :22:01.the third row. This is a circuit where he has won six times in
:22:01. > :22:02.
:22:02. > :22:11.MotoGP. Never rule out the doctor. Ahead of him on the second row is
:22:11. > :22:15.Cal Crutchlow. Let's see if we can squeeze in. Sorry, Lucy. Here he is
:22:15. > :22:23.keeping cool with the ice pack on his back because the temperatures
:22:23. > :22:29.are quite hot and that will be a big factor today. Yes, it is quite hot,
:22:29. > :22:37.but you look good. I planned my wardrobe earlier in the week.
:22:37. > :22:42.impressed. No doubt the track temperatures are a lot more art than
:22:42. > :22:47.over the whole weekend. We had a problem yesterday, but I am looking
:22:47. > :22:57.forward to the race, it should be good. I do not feel in the best
:22:57. > :22:57.
:22:57. > :23:00.shape in my life, but I will try and get out in front if I can. If we can
:23:00. > :23:06.get away and pick up some pieces with the guys in the first couple of
:23:06. > :23:13.laps, we will see what happens. All the best today. Do not throw that
:23:13. > :23:23.ice pack away. I will come back and get it later because I might be able
:23:23. > :23:25.
:23:25. > :23:35.to make the best of that. As I said before, no Abraham and no Ben Spies.
:23:35. > :23:36.
:23:36. > :23:41.Azi is with one of the CRT riders. It is Bryan Staring, a new face for
:23:41. > :23:50.2013. He comes here via the Australian
:23:50. > :23:56.championship. Three races on the Honda, how is it going? We got the
:23:56. > :24:00.test here four or five weeks ago. It makes things a little bit easier
:24:00. > :24:10.because we qualified a bit better and we have got a strong pace, and I
:24:10. > :24:11.
:24:11. > :24:15.am looking forward to it. How are you finding this class? CRT in
:24:15. > :24:22.MotoGP? Really good, I am enjoying my time here and I am enjoying this
:24:22. > :24:27.challenge. This is your best qualifying of the year so far, a big
:24:27. > :24:33.improvement. Yes, definitely, step-by-step each weekend. I am
:24:33. > :24:40.becoming more comfortable with this bike. Anyway, I am not trying to
:24:40. > :24:46.rush things, but we are looking to improve in every race. Good luck.
:24:46. > :24:52.Hopefully he is going to be fighting in this CRT battle. We have got
:24:52. > :24:58.Hector by bearer, the top CRT on the grid today. A very positive weekend
:24:58. > :25:05.for you. Yes, I am very happy. In Texas I had many problems. In Qatar
:25:05. > :25:12.it was the same. The bike was broken too much. Now in Jerez the bike is
:25:12. > :25:17.perfect. I like this track. This winter I had many tests here in
:25:17. > :25:25.Jerez and it was positive for me. Today the race I think is a good
:25:25. > :25:31.race for me because my bike is very good. I want to enjoy this race.
:25:31. > :25:41.Enjoy it and good luck, Hector. around the side because if you look
:25:41. > :25:55.
:25:55. > :26:00.down beside, you can see an eye injury the side of his sunglasses,
:26:01. > :26:05.you can see an eye injury. How does it feel to be back on the grid?
:26:05. > :26:10.happy and I have got a new bike and the race is not so easy, but I try
:26:10. > :26:18.and improve because it is the first time with this bike in the race and
:26:18. > :26:25.I hope I have a good race for the people. Good luck. He is on the new
:26:25. > :26:31.spec Ducati that will be tested tomorrow. They need to make some
:26:31. > :26:41.improvements, so we will see what that brings. We can see the all
:26:41. > :26:43.
:26:43. > :26:53.Spanish front row behind me. Jorge Lorenzo, the current world champion
:26:53. > :27:00.is on pole position. It was his 26th birthday yesterday. He has been on
:27:00. > :27:07.the podium 24 times. One of the only two he did not manage was in 2009.
:27:08. > :27:17.He is a formidable force. It is consistency and he is the boy.
:27:18. > :27:50.
:27:50. > :27:57.before. It is a pretty good improvement for Nicky Hayden.
:27:57. > :28:04.Dovisiozo does not like this circuit. Pirro is somebody else to
:28:04. > :28:10.watch. Yes, I think his bike is an improvement and he is closer to the
:28:11. > :28:20.factory boys. All the teams will be here trying to sort out their next
:28:21. > :28:24.
:28:24. > :28:29.evolutions on their next bikes. Lukas Pesek had the most ridiculous
:28:29. > :28:36.crash of the day. He chucked it down the road before he had even
:28:36. > :28:40.completed a lap. But it is very tricky out there. The real key is
:28:40. > :28:45.everybody gets here and they have already tested here and they know
:28:45. > :28:53.the limits before the weekend starts. Everybody starts pushing
:28:53. > :28:56.hard, hence so many people chucking it down the road. A of the teams are
:28:56. > :29:04.interesting. They all came here with sessions they had at preseason
:29:04. > :29:07.tests. It is not that dissimilar to yesterday. They all came here with
:29:07. > :29:14.their settings and they all went away from it and they have gradually
:29:14. > :29:17.come back to where they were. They are looking to nibble away tenths
:29:17. > :29:27.here and there and hence people pushing hard and falling down and
:29:27. > :29:28.
:29:28. > :29:38.that is what you get. The front half of the great have all been well
:29:38. > :29:49.
:29:49. > :29:55.under the record. There is a gentleman just outside the window
:29:55. > :30:00.that has a chainsaw. He has removed the chain and the blade, so there is
:30:00. > :30:06.no passion here at all! It sounded like your lawnmower with a broken
:30:06. > :30:12.exhaust. 111,000 people here today and they are bubbling with
:30:12. > :30:21.excitement. It is a very partisan crowd. A huge cheer for the guy on
:30:21. > :30:29.pole, the Spanish. The second row, Scott Redding, and there was
:30:29. > :30:39.silence. If Valentino Rossi wins, that is OK as well. A lot of his
:30:39. > :30:53.
:30:53. > :31:03.fans, right in the grandstand where him. That is the advantage of being
:31:03. > :31:12.
:31:12. > :31:22.a rookie, you don't know how much it hurts. Lorenzo just shuts the door
:31:22. > :31:27.
:31:27. > :31:34.on Marc Marquez. Dani Pedrosa round the outside. Great stuff from
:31:34. > :31:44.Valentino Rossi. Lorenzo just squeezed in there, used a lot of
:31:44. > :31:46.
:31:46. > :31:56.confidence. He leads this race, fastest all weekend. Nicky Hayden in
:31:56. > :32:13.
:32:13. > :32:20.the pack. It is Lorenzo, Dani Pedrosa and Marc Marquez. After four
:32:20. > :32:25.or five laps the lap times will start going down. Who is the best
:32:25. > :32:35.rider out there at looking after equipment when it gets tired?
:32:35. > :32:55.
:32:55. > :33:05.would say Lorenzo. Valentino Rossi is going to run with the hounds.
:33:05. > :33:07.
:33:07. > :33:17.That is reminiscent of what we saw about eight years ago. 99, Jorge
:33:17. > :33:20.
:33:20. > :33:30.Lorenzo, leads this race. Valentino Rossi does not want to do what he
:33:30. > :33:43.
:33:43. > :33:53.had to do in Qatar. Marc Marquez squeezed his way down the inside. He
:33:53. > :33:59.
:33:59. > :34:09.is so good on the brakes. Rossi is not happy about this at all.
:34:09. > :34:15.
:34:15. > :34:25.Straight across the top of the curve there, over 100 mph. We are riding
:34:25. > :34:28.
:34:28. > :34:37.with Cal Crutchlow now. Sitting there in fifth position. He wants to
:34:37. > :34:40.come and play, five laps is a long time to go. This is really sitting
:34:40. > :34:50.well the Dani Pedrosa at the moment, he doesn't want to deal with
:34:50. > :34:52.
:34:52. > :34:56.his team owed -- team-mate any more than Valentino Rossi does. If you
:34:56. > :35:06.have not seen this man before, in third place, Marc Marquez, keep an
:35:06. > :35:29.
:35:29. > :35:39.eye on him. Is that Michael Laverty? are crazy. That is the battle for
:35:39. > :35:44.
:35:45. > :35:52.sick place. Alvaro Bautista is seven and Nicky Hayden is in eighth. Dani
:35:52. > :35:56.Pedrosa is doing a good job, hanging on very well to this guy. About lap
:35:56. > :36:06.four or five, that is when the tyres start to go off. The riders know
:36:06. > :36:17.
:36:17. > :36:27.that. Two dozen laps left. The pace has dropped ever so slightly.
:36:27. > :36:27.
:36:27. > :36:37.at Dani Pedrosa on the right, he can just close in a tiny bit there. Good
:36:37. > :36:42.
:36:42. > :36:49.ride there from number 19, Alvaro Bautista sitting in sixth place.
:36:49. > :36:59.Crutchlow pushing very hard indeed. He is sore. The gravel feels like
:36:59. > :36:59.
:36:59. > :37:06.half bricks, doesn't it? It really does. Dani Pedrosa in the shadows of
:37:06. > :37:16.Jorge Lorenzo. It will be about who has some energy left at the end, in
:37:16. > :37:17.
:37:17. > :37:27.these high temperatures. Andrea Iannone has chucked that bike at the
:37:27. > :37:32.
:37:32. > :37:42.scenery quite a lot over the weekend. That is two crashes in
:37:42. > :37:44.
:37:44. > :37:54.three races for Stefan Bradl. He did not do too bad in Texas. Dani
:37:54. > :37:56.
:37:56. > :38:06.Pedrosa plus one, he has a second over Marquez. -- Marc Marquez.
:38:06. > :38:08.
:38:08. > :38:17.Pedrosa, number 26, Marc Marquez. He has closed those down, he is joining
:38:17. > :38:24.the party at the front. Lorenzo, there is the time, a quarter of a
:38:24. > :38:32.second, that was quite a useful lap for Marc Marquez. He said before the
:38:32. > :38:38.race he didn't really think he could stay with the big guys in this race
:38:38. > :38:48.but happily I think he is proving himself wrong. Look how hard he is
:38:48. > :38:49.
:38:49. > :38:56.racing, 93. The bike is wriggling all around. It is just like a mono
:38:56. > :39:06.cycle going into there, all of his weight shifting. Marc Marquez is
:39:06. > :39:11.
:39:12. > :39:21.closing in. Through the right-hander we go, it is Dani Pedrosa, as you
:39:21. > :39:28.can see. The gap to Marc Marquez has dropped four tenths. Have a look at
:39:28. > :39:37.those times. Over the line they are going, Marc Marquez a couple of
:39:37. > :39:45.tenths faster. You are looking back now from Lorenzo and Dani Pedrosa is
:39:45. > :39:52.hot on his tail. He has every attribute you could mansion but he
:39:52. > :39:59.still has to get past this guy we are following, Lorenzo. He is not
:39:59. > :40:03.erratic in any way. These rear tyres which we are looking closely at of
:40:03. > :40:11.Jorge Lorenzo, they have had the best out of him but they are now
:40:11. > :40:20.starting to deteriorate. Lorenzo is going to try to run with him and
:40:20. > :40:27.then do the switch back but Annie Pedrosa does the switch. Will this
:40:27. > :40:37.give him an advantage? We saw how good the Honda is into the corners
:40:37. > :40:37.
:40:37. > :40:43.on the brakes. Smooth as you like goes through there, Jorge Lorenzo
:40:43. > :40:51.left about two metres and he used them up. We can now see exactly what
:40:52. > :40:54.Dani Pedrosa at this early stage of the race has up his sleeve. He had a
:40:54. > :41:04.pretty much identical time to Lorenzo last time round. Can he make
:41:04. > :41:07.
:41:07. > :41:14.a brake? His best chance is to try to brake Lorenzo right now. He will
:41:14. > :41:24.be focusing, not looking at the times, just seeing if he can close
:41:24. > :41:25.
:41:25. > :41:32.that gap. Valentino Rossi is dropping away now from Marc Marquez.
:41:32. > :41:42.Cal Crutchlow in behind him there. Cal Crutchlow has the carrot in
:41:42. > :41:44.
:41:44. > :41:54.front of him now. A painful weekend for the number 35 but he will almost
:41:54. > :41:57.
:41:57. > :42:05.certainly have had some painkillers. This is the corner that has given
:42:05. > :42:09.everybody so much trouble. Watch for that corner as the race unfolds,
:42:09. > :42:14.they will start running out of brakes when the front tyre gets very
:42:14. > :42:21.hot. That is a tricky place and that is where we saw Marquez unwind
:42:21. > :42:27.himself yesterday. 21 laps remaining, we have a game of chess
:42:27. > :42:34.and it looks like Dani Pedrosa is going to be able to close that gap.
:42:34. > :42:42.Cal Crutchlow will shortly be on the back wheel of Valentino Rossi. 0.7
:42:42. > :42:48.down on 0.4. He really has the magnets on now, Cal Crutchlow.
:42:48. > :42:51.so good on the brakes into their. As fast if not faster than Valentino
:42:51. > :43:01.Rossi. Tumbling into the gravel there, very lucky not to injure
:43:01. > :43:02.
:43:02. > :43:12.himself. The gap absolutely closed down now. We are riding with Cal
:43:12. > :43:12.
:43:12. > :43:21.Crutchlow. Using the curbs, everybody starting to use the inside
:43:21. > :43:26.curbs now. The bike will drift out, out, out, and then back across the
:43:26. > :43:36.top of the curb. It is amazing, they get the power there, all the way up
:43:36. > :43:46.
:43:46. > :43:52.to six dear. A massive stop here, 1.5 Gs braking. The curbs again.
:43:52. > :43:59.Look at this, 93, Marc Marquez, probing for a way to get past the
:43:59. > :44:07.Yamaha. He shares the championship league with the man in front of
:44:07. > :44:12.him. -- championship lead. Dani Pedrosa is making a very good fist
:44:12. > :44:22.at this stage of the race, putting some clear air between him and Jorge
:44:22. > :44:22.
:44:22. > :44:32.Lorenzo. 26, as he takes that last term, we now get a proper measure of
:44:32. > :44:35.
:44:35. > :44:40.how much the gap is. It is a second, 1.004. He has pulled a second out.
:44:41. > :44:49.Look at the tighter line for Marc Marquez. Closing in on the Yamaha.
:44:49. > :44:59.Again, those smooth, fluid lines from Jorge Lorenzo. The youngster is
:44:59. > :45:07.learning, soaking it up like a sponge. He got that wrong! Plus
:45:07. > :45:12.zero, that is about it. Squirming all over the place, it might not be
:45:12. > :45:22.neat but it is effective. Dani Pedrosa really under the radar so
:45:22. > :45:23.
:45:23. > :45:30.far. Bike number 99, he ran in to hot there. He lost a lot of time but
:45:30. > :45:37.he was able to close the line back down. What he is trying to do now is
:45:37. > :45:41.utilise as much power as he can and the only way to do that is to get
:45:41. > :45:51.the bike... You can't carry the corners but you can use your body
:45:51. > :45:55.
:45:55. > :46:04.weight, getting it up as quick as he can. 190 kilometres an hour over the
:46:04. > :46:14.top. This is turned 13, this is Lorenzo corner. Marquez uses more of
:46:14. > :46:16.
:46:16. > :46:23.the curb. That is go faster to Dani. He is going fast. That is sensation
:46:23. > :46:28.not at this stage of the race. It is going to take some time. As I was
:46:28. > :46:34.about to say, Dani Pedrosa was very much under the radar at the start of
:46:34. > :46:39.the season, but he has been chipping away and chipping away. We know how
:46:39. > :46:49.consistent he can be in the race. That is Marc Marquez having a little
:46:49. > :46:51.
:46:51. > :46:58.roo -- look. Just 20 years old. is a sensational gap from Dani
:46:58. > :47:04.Pedrosa who has worked so hard at this part of his game. Once again
:47:04. > :47:11.Lorenzo is coming under massive pressure. He was expecting a bit
:47:11. > :47:16.more of a gap, but if Jorge Lorenzo leaves a meter, he will get passed.
:47:16. > :47:22.He had a little look and he realised there was not the gap he was looking
:47:22. > :47:26.for. He cannot squeeze the breaks any more because he will crash. They
:47:26. > :47:34.are trying to break as late as they can and keep that front tyre pressed
:47:34. > :47:43.into the trap. It squashes the construction of the tyre, giving you
:47:43. > :47:48.a bigger footprint on the tyre. Marquez will use more curb on the
:47:48. > :47:54.inside. Generally he does. You cannot use all the horsepower it you
:47:54. > :48:04.have got, they have got 250, but if you do, you will be too high in the
:48:04. > :48:07.
:48:07. > :48:16.air. Lorenzo has got nothing over my cares. There we have the busy ozone.
:48:16. > :48:25.That is stunning stuff. A bike. Behind him is Pirro and Bradley
:48:25. > :48:34.Smith and Espargaro. Anyone can go to the factory and purchased that.
:48:34. > :48:37.What sort of line was that? It is new and it is different. He is
:48:38. > :48:45.thinking about it really hard and that is really close. He can taste
:48:45. > :48:55.the same. They just all but touched. I nearly smelt it, I nearly smelt
:48:55. > :48:56.
:48:56. > :49:02.rubber down. Lorenzo saw a gap and went for it at the top of the curb.
:49:02. > :49:08.I am sure he is going to miss this corner by a touch. Marc Marquez sees
:49:08. > :49:15.the gap and takes the curb on the inside. Lorenzo did a great job of
:49:15. > :49:21.gathering it all up. This is not so much riding as crisis management. He
:49:21. > :49:27.is trying to keep this guy at bay. He is using up all the track and not
:49:27. > :49:32.leaving any gaps on the inside. He has got to try and keep on the apex
:49:32. > :49:42.is all the time. It shows how hard he is having to ride. You do not
:49:42. > :49:48.often see him making a mistake like that. In Qatar it was very boring,
:49:48. > :49:55.but very effective from his point of view. It was a different story in
:49:55. > :50:03.Texas and here he has got his hands full again. Bautista has got past
:50:03. > :50:10.Cal Crutchlow. Look at this. It is sideways over the curb. You should
:50:10. > :50:13.not be able to do that. What a picture that is, the focus and
:50:13. > :50:22.concentration. That is just amazing. He is the most exciting
:50:22. > :50:30.rider. He nearly found himself in the scenery. That is where so many
:50:30. > :50:36.people have crashed. He will not be a popular boy if he takes out
:50:36. > :50:45.Lorenzo. Marc Marquez can run at the same pace as Dani Pedrosa, but he
:50:45. > :50:49.cannot get there. That is how close it was. This has been an absolute
:50:49. > :50:59.godsend for Dani Pedrosa. It is wonderful blocking that Lorenzo is
:50:59. > :51:01.
:51:01. > :51:07.providing. Dani is 33 points down. Marc Marquez, a youngster come in,
:51:07. > :51:13.he just needs to pace himself a little bit. He has tried a few times
:51:13. > :51:23.and it has not worked. If he can bridge that gap and get back in
:51:23. > :51:26.front and see if Jorge has even more tyre issues. Valentino Rossi three
:51:26. > :51:33.tenths faster than Marc Marquez, but there was a mistake from Marc
:51:33. > :51:38.Marquez the last time. Bautista has got past Cal Crutchlow. I can
:51:38. > :51:44.imagine Cal Crutchlow is in a lot of pain. And that will because in him
:51:44. > :51:50.more pain again. He was superquick around here. He was the fastest
:51:50. > :51:55.after all the practice sessions. But for a couple of crashes yesterday,
:51:55. > :52:02.he would be running with the hounds right now. The Hondas seem to have
:52:02. > :52:10.the best packages. It made logical sense, those Yamahas with good
:52:10. > :52:15.high-speed handling. At the moment Cal Crutchlow is getting a snip.
:52:15. > :52:19.Whatever Honda has found with that chassis, they have got the balance
:52:19. > :52:27.good. In the past we have seen the Yamaha with that as its strongest
:52:27. > :52:35.point. But at the moment it looks to me like the Honda has the advantage
:52:35. > :52:41.into the corners as well, which is frustrating for Yamaha. The rule of
:52:41. > :52:51.thumb is Yamaha is beautiful at handling when it is very fast, but
:52:51. > :52:51.
:52:51. > :53:01.Honda is a great track dried. Pedrosa has a 2.5 second advantage
:53:01. > :53:04.
:53:04. > :53:10.right now. Cal Crutchlow is still pressing on. 41.1 for him. 41.84
:53:10. > :53:18.Marquez Ras time around. Cal Crutchlow is suffering a little bit.
:53:18. > :53:27.Remember Dani Pedrosa? 2.7 seconds up the road. He has probably got
:53:27. > :53:36.some time to have a slur on his drink bottle, kept in the backpack.
:53:36. > :53:46.Most importantly he is in front of his team-mate. Lorenzo has regrouped
:53:46. > :53:51.
:53:51. > :53:57.and got it back together again. He was so close to taking out Lorenzo,
:53:57. > :54:00.and the paperwork would have been horrendous. Dani Pedrosa is not
:54:00. > :54:07.cruising, but he has got that advantage and that clean air in
:54:07. > :54:16.front of him. He can use the lines he wants to run all the time. Off
:54:16. > :54:22.the line we go. Dani Pedrosa was the man. Turn to was where Lorenzo was
:54:22. > :54:32.the strongest. I thought Cal Crutchlow had him there, but then
:54:32. > :54:38.
:54:38. > :54:45.Valentino squeezed him out. seconds to 100 kilometres per hour.
:54:45. > :54:52.We are riding with Dani Pedrosa. looked like he was going to try and
:54:52. > :55:01.run with it on the outside, but it was not going to work. A perfect
:55:01. > :55:05.launch from pretty much everyone. was kind of need. If you look at 35
:55:05. > :55:12.and 46, they were side-by-side, but Valentino had the line and that was
:55:12. > :55:20.the end of it. We are back at the scene of the crime. It is Dani
:55:20. > :55:27.Pedrosa ahead. It will not seem like much to harm -- him with 13 laps
:55:27. > :55:34.left. We will have two see how these motorbikes perform in the last few
:55:34. > :55:39.laps of the race. The tyres will have deteriorated. They will not be
:55:39. > :55:46.as good as they were for the first five laps, but they tend to level
:55:47. > :55:53.out. These factory bikes are running 21 litres of fuel and they have
:55:53. > :56:02.probably lost the best part of 14 or 15 kilos. It looks like the tank of
:56:02. > :56:07.a conventional bike, but the fuel is under the seat. It is mass
:56:07. > :56:16.centralisation to stop the bike pitching too much. This battle
:56:16. > :56:26.between Crutchlow and Bautista is far from over. The Yamaha is trying
:56:26. > :56:28.
:56:28. > :56:36.to sort out that Honda. He is not letting it go. Nicky Hayden is in
:56:36. > :56:46.seventh place. It is not a bad performance. He is 12 seconds off
:56:46. > :56:48.
:56:48. > :56:58.the lead. But he has got a covetable gap over his team-mate. Dovisiozo
:56:58. > :57:02.
:57:02. > :57:12.thought he was going to get hassled. Number 41 is leading the
:57:12. > :57:13.
:57:13. > :57:17.CRT championship, Espargaro. That is interesting, he is not the most
:57:17. > :57:21.experienced runner in the field. If he can do well on this bike, does
:57:21. > :57:30.that mean they have discovered something on the lab bike? I believe
:57:30. > :57:40.they have. All the teams tomorrow will be running that bike. Dovisiozo
:57:40. > :57:47.will be running that bike. Michael Lafferty is also having a good run,
:57:47. > :57:54.up into 40, and in the points. He started 22nd and he has been
:57:54. > :58:04.chipping away. He is doing well and running with the hounds. Michael
:58:04. > :58:17.
:58:17. > :58:27.Laverty. It would be pretty tough leaving this circuit if you had
:58:27. > :58:32.
:58:32. > :58:37.bowled over Lorenzo. He was under the radar screen. He was just there
:58:37. > :58:43.or thereabouts, but he has got it nailed now. He had a big crash
:58:43. > :58:53.yesterday, but it did not deter him. We know he is fragile and we know he
:58:53. > :59:00.is small and we know he breaks easily... Bautista goes through. Dry
:59:00. > :59:06.Sac corner is where all the moves are happening. Cal Crutchlow is
:59:06. > :59:14.going to have another go at this. A fantastic scrap. This time he must
:59:14. > :59:20.have it. Bautista is having a really good ride. That bike has different
:59:20. > :59:27.suspension to any other bike. It runs with a shallow suspension. It
:59:27. > :59:34.looks to be working. But everyone is testing here, they have got the
:59:34. > :59:42.settings. They have done proper race runs in simulations, so they know
:59:42. > :59:50.what the bike feels like after 25 laps because they have done it. And
:59:50. > :59:54.talking to Matt at the start of the show, Cal was the fastest guy here.
:59:54. > :00:04.He is using every bit of that suspension to try and find his way
:00:04. > :00:05.
:00:05. > :00:15.around. That was the pass at the top of the hill. Bautista had the inside
:00:15. > :00:20.
:00:20. > :00:28.line into Dry Sac corner. Cal labs nothing like a championship race.
:00:28. > :00:38.is good for his points as well. By tripping over one another they are
:00:38. > :00:45.
:00:45. > :00:55.losing a bit of time. We are ten laps to go so we are almost entering
:00:55. > :01:11.
:01:11. > :01:20.the final chapter. I reckon Marc Marquez has closed the gap down a
:01:20. > :01:30.bit. Just a 10th in the last lap. He is homing in. Maybe he was listening
:01:30. > :01:30.
:01:30. > :01:40.to us, he had AIDS reader and a slurp on his drinks bottle. -- a
:01:40. > :01:44.
:01:44. > :01:54.breather. He managed to push Lorenzo into a couple of mistakes. That is
:01:54. > :02:14.
:02:14. > :02:21.expensive. Is that Petrucci? No, Petrucci is still going. He was
:02:21. > :02:26.trying to run at 30 kilometres per hour. When you have come off at 100
:02:26. > :02:34.climate is per hour you think you can do it but it never works. -- 100
:02:34. > :02:42.kilometres per hour. Here we have the battle for second place, Jorge
:02:42. > :02:49.Lorenzo hoping he has got rid of the pesky upstart, Marc Marquez. We know
:02:49. > :02:59.how fast he can be but he has been so smooth, well, not smooth but just
:02:59. > :03:02.
:03:02. > :03:11.so fast. He seems to have mastered that Honda. Lap times are dropping
:03:11. > :03:17.off, exactly as we expected. Just keep up the momentum, watch
:03:17. > :03:22.carefully how much they are standing them up coming out of the corners.
:03:22. > :03:32.Lorenzo knows that there is no point driving down the road if he can get
:03:32. > :03:44.
:03:44. > :03:54.points for second. This is round be quicker. I am sure he is closing
:03:54. > :03:56.
:03:56. > :04:06.in, just a 10th at a time. Current Moto2 champion. Look how much curb
:04:06. > :04:06.
:04:06. > :04:15.he takes. It is not the grip or the traction, just a controlled slide to
:04:15. > :04:22.bring him back onto the tarmac. You are making it a less acute angle on
:04:22. > :04:31.the corner by grabbing a bit on the inside. It is very reminiscent of
:04:31. > :04:41.Casey Stoner. You watch what Stoner used to get away with and he
:04:41. > :04:44.
:04:44. > :04:52.obviously thought, it is possible. That is used! -- youth. Jorge
:04:52. > :05:02.Lorenzo is closing down, a 10th every single lap. It is nearly the
:05:02. > :05:03.
:05:03. > :05:13.last quarter of the race. If there is time for a lunch, this is it. --
:05:13. > :05:17.
:05:17. > :05:27.lunge. The fans can't lose, can they? That is worse FM heart --
:05:27. > :05:29.
:05:29. > :05:33.Stefan Bradl went down. He struggled over the weekend and did quite well
:05:33. > :05:43.to get back in but two crashes in three races is not what his team
:05:43. > :05:46.
:05:46. > :05:56.wanted. I can't say too much about Aleix Espargaro, number 41, still
:05:56. > :05:56.
:05:56. > :06:06.holding at bay Dovizioso. Dovizioso has about ten mph top
:06:06. > :06:10.speed on that bike. On the brakes, down the inside on a prototype
:06:10. > :06:14.machine that spent millions of pounds to develop, they changed it
:06:14. > :06:21.about 18 times in the last seven years, the bike that Valentino Rossi
:06:21. > :06:31.tribe to develop. Audi have wrought Ducati and they have got involved.
:06:31. > :06:48.
:06:48. > :06:58.Espargaro rides it. The difference is that he is probably getting paid
:06:58. > :06:58.
:06:58. > :07:03.about �2 million less than Dovizioso. Into the right-hander
:07:03. > :07:08.there, Dovizioso being held up and he just can't tap on that power and
:07:08. > :07:12.get this back and he will be mortally offended if this guy is in
:07:12. > :07:19.front of him. Dovizioso has done a stellar job on the Ducati this year
:07:19. > :07:29.but this is not his race. If he has a choice it will be out onto the
:07:29. > :07:31.
:07:31. > :07:35.main straight. This guy, six laps remaining, he has a 3.67 advantage,
:07:35. > :07:41.which I would never have thought possible after the performance over
:07:41. > :07:46.the weekend. He clearly had something up his sleeve. It is good
:07:46. > :07:55.for the championship to keep it tight at the top, you don't want one
:07:55. > :08:05.or two going off into the distance. Dani Pedrosa has been the bridesmaid
:08:05. > :08:10.
:08:10. > :08:20.too many times. He is a cool fella, Jorge Lorenzo, lots of experience,
:08:20. > :08:24.
:08:24. > :08:28.two times MotoGP champion. doesn't know when he's beating,
:08:28. > :08:34.Espargaro. Number 41 keeping his head down and you can see the legs
:08:34. > :08:44.of the two catty dragging him down the pit straight but he bungles it
:08:44. > :08:45.
:08:45. > :08:55.into the corner and is absolutely fearless. I think the Ducati had
:08:55. > :09:01.passed him down the straight. We need to go round to that garage and
:09:01. > :09:07.have a look at that motorcycle. very excited for the Ducati, with
:09:07. > :09:15.the performance of Mick Kaley Pirro are still in 10th place. -- the
:09:15. > :09:23.performance of Michele Pirro. Maybe they have discovered something and
:09:23. > :09:33.the test tomorrow will reveal all. Laverty is at 14, really good ride
:09:33. > :09:40.
:09:40. > :09:46.from him. Bike number 93, he can see the quarry, it is right in front of
:09:46. > :09:51.him. The lab is almost identical to the last time around, so Lorenzo
:09:51. > :10:01.using everything he's got to keep his position, keep it cool and keep
:10:01. > :10:02.
:10:02. > :10:10.it upright, and Marquez, tonnes of exuberance, gagging to get past if
:10:10. > :10:17.he can. Lorenzo is the smoother of the two, doesn't shift his weight
:10:17. > :10:21.around as much. Marquez clambering off every which way. This is where
:10:21. > :10:31.he is strong, on the brakes down here, but never has he seen a big
:10:31. > :10:33.
:10:33. > :10:37.enough gap to take the dive. Valentino Rossi, in fourth place,
:10:37. > :10:42.after two dozen laps he is five seconds off Lorenzo, at the top of
:10:42. > :10:52.his game, reigning world champion, and Rossi, who is just coming back
:10:52. > :11:01.
:11:01. > :11:04.to Yamaha, has conceded five seconds. I thought Rossi might
:11:04. > :11:13.squeeze on the podium here, I thought one of the top three might
:11:13. > :11:23.make a mistake, although I don't wish it on them. But Rossi is almost
:11:23. > :11:25.
:11:25. > :11:35.certain to come home with a motorcycle underneath him. Pedrosa
:11:35. > :11:40.
:11:40. > :11:50.had a slow lap there, a 140.6. He will regroup himself. He will be
:11:50. > :11:51.
:11:51. > :12:01.talking to himself, keep calm, don't brake too early. You do, you talk to
:12:01. > :12:08.yourself. Dani would have to have a monster problem now. Look at that
:12:08. > :12:18.Honda close him down. That was more than just the fact that the Yamaha
:12:18. > :12:19.
:12:19. > :12:29.was braking early. Bradley Smith has jumped ahead of Michele Pirro into
:12:29. > :12:30.
:12:30. > :12:38.the top ten. Cal Crutchlow, a manly fifth. This is still not over. It
:12:38. > :12:41.does look as if Lorenzo has been able to keep that tyre working, the
:12:41. > :12:51.speeds we have been talking about, and you will see a big drop-off when
:12:51. > :12:56.
:12:56. > :13:04.we get down to the speeds of Aleix Espargaro. They are doing better,
:13:04. > :13:14.288 for Pedrosa. 2.3, so he lost half a second last time around, Dani
:13:14. > :13:16.
:13:16. > :13:20.Pedrosa. He can drop another two halves and just get away with it.
:13:21. > :13:26.Lorenzo gets a sniff of that exhaust fume coming out from in front. He
:13:26. > :13:31.will do everything he can to drag himself back to the Honda. Has Dani
:13:31. > :13:36.Pedrosa blasted those tyres away, is he getting tired? He admitted he got
:13:37. > :13:46.tired in Texas, he lost the feeling in his arms because he said it was
:13:46. > :13:53.too strenuous around that circuit. He knows this circuit. You can see
:13:53. > :14:03.that the gap has come down, about 2.3 seconds. You would have to guess
:14:03. > :14:12.that it is slightly too late for the blue Yamaha to make a lunch. --
:14:12. > :14:19.lunge. You are spoiling the fairytale. It would be really tough
:14:19. > :14:24.stuff at this point. The only thing that can happen is Dani Pedrosa will
:14:24. > :14:33.see his time coming down so he needs to stretch themselves a bit more. We
:14:33. > :14:41.are going to start the last lap. The final corner, start of the last lap.
:14:41. > :14:46.A bit of anxiety there. Pedrosa crossed the line, he stabilised it
:14:46. > :14:54.there. You would have to say he is home and dry as long as he keeps it
:14:54. > :15:04.down. Is there anything that Marc Marquez can do? Does he have a
:15:04. > :15:06.
:15:06. > :15:12.lastgasp? He has to be on the inside of Lorenzo on the turning point.
:15:12. > :15:21.Look at the body language of the 93, saying, I have to get past him.
:15:21. > :15:29.He is right on the back wheel. defensive line from Lorenzo. He is
:15:29. > :15:34.having a lunch through. Back through goes Lorenzo. It was worth a try,
:15:34. > :15:40.sunshine. You have to give him points for effort. He went out wide,
:15:40. > :15:49.you couldn't brake because he was on the dirty part of the track. Still
:15:49. > :15:59.not over, still on the final corner. It is close enough. That would be
:15:59. > :16:02.
:16:02. > :16:12.rude, passing Lorenzo on Lorenzo corner. We are coming down through
:16:12. > :16:13.
:16:13. > :16:22.the lastgasp, building at speed. is going to have a go. They have
:16:22. > :16:32.connected. He has muscled his way through. Lorenzo is pushed off on
:16:32. > :16:37.Lorenzo Corder. Will he get a yellow card for that one? That you have got
:16:37. > :16:47.to give him points for effort. Cal Crutchlow comes across the line in
:16:47. > :16:47.
:16:47. > :16:54.fifth place. What about that? ! That was a tough move. That will be
:16:54. > :17:00.replayed in spades. We had a situation when Lorenzo would not
:17:00. > :17:07.speak to Dani Pedrosa. Is he now going to speak to Marc Marquez?
:17:07. > :17:17.Lorenzo is going to be absolutely furious. Incandescent with rage. I
:17:17. > :17:22.
:17:22. > :17:28.think Marc Marquez is going to apologise. Take us through it. You
:17:28. > :17:37.can see him building all the time. He misses the apex. Really it was a
:17:37. > :17:41.bit strong. I think race direction will have a bit of a word. Lorenzo
:17:41. > :17:50.could not turn into it. You can see him shaking his head and saying, you
:17:50. > :18:00.little toe rag. It completely blew the corner and stayed on. You can do
:18:00. > :18:05.
:18:05. > :18:10.that once or twice, but it will come back. It is a rough and dirty race.
:18:10. > :18:17.Marquez is wonderfully smart as spectacular, but he has made a of
:18:17. > :18:22.enemies on his way through Moto three and Moto two. He has just made
:18:22. > :18:32.another one. I remember Moto two in Qatar last year, he is rough and
:18:32. > :18:35.
:18:35. > :18:45.tough, but he gets the job done. one, his team-mate 58, and Lorenzo
:18:45. > :18:52.
:18:52. > :19:02.57. That was not the mass Lorenzo was working on. -- the maths.
:19:02. > :19:04.
:19:04. > :19:08.will be a bit of blue paint on the Yamaha. It will be quite interesting
:19:09. > :19:15.to see the body language. I am looking forward to this one. I
:19:15. > :19:19.cannot wait for the podium. It will be fascinating and never dull.
:19:19. > :19:29.Marquez is the equivalent of rolling a grenade under the table. Everyone
:19:29. > :19:30.
:19:30. > :19:39.has to stand up. That is the nice one of the two. A brilliant ride by
:19:39. > :19:48.Dani Pedrosa. He was like a stealth bomber all weekend, under the radar
:19:48. > :19:52.and then bang. I think there will be a word with the race directors.
:19:52. > :19:59.difficulty is always Marc Marquez was going to say I tried, I had to
:19:59. > :20:05.pick the bike up. He could not get it stopped, but it was a bit of a
:20:05. > :20:11.brave move to try and do. You can make a mistake and hit somebody else
:20:11. > :20:20.and everyone can survive. That is outrageous, we know, he should not
:20:20. > :20:29.be doing that. But there is no rule that says you have two followed the
:20:29. > :20:37.race line. There is somebody on the outside of view, that is the trick.
:20:37. > :20:47.There will be a few strong words. It is so reminiscent, we will dig it
:20:47. > :20:53.
:20:53. > :20:59.out for the next round with Rossi and Jiminez. Dani Pedrosa. He has
:20:59. > :21:04.got himself back on track. He had a horrendous time in Qatar. He got
:21:04. > :21:10.beaten by Marc Marquez, but he was solid in second place. He is in the
:21:10. > :21:13.running in the championship. There are going to be no holds barred from
:21:13. > :21:23.here on in. If you want an interesting championship, you were
:21:23. > :21:32.warned. This guy is a hard charger. Valentino Rossi in fourth place. At
:21:32. > :21:38.the end of its 3.8 from Lorenzo. He will be his benchmark. Nice work
:21:38. > :21:45.from Cal Crutchlow as well. Given what he was carrying into the race,
:21:45. > :21:49.he did a stonking job, I think. Bradley Smith in the top ten.
:21:49. > :21:59.Michael Laverty in 30th place, some proper points. That is great news
:21:59. > :21:59.
:21:59. > :22:05.for the team. I completely agree. That is no mean feat from Laverty on
:22:05. > :22:12.a bike that is really a home built machine. Well done, Cal Crutchlow, I
:22:12. > :22:20.bet you are sore, but you can take a hot bath tonight. He rode very well.
:22:20. > :22:24.This is going to change the tone of things. OK, he must be furious.
:22:24. > :22:32.saw you were not having Mark's apologies. What about that move from
:22:33. > :22:41.him? I prefer not to comment. race was perfect, a of concentration
:22:41. > :22:47.and for the bike that we had today, we made the maximum. That is it,
:22:47. > :22:55.let's see what happens. Will you be expecting a penalty? I prefer not to
:22:55. > :23:01.comment here, it is better not to say anything.
:23:01. > :23:11.That was very politically correct. But Marc Marquez leads the
:23:11. > :23:21.
:23:21. > :23:31.championship. Nicky Hayden with the best of the Ducatis. Dovisiozo on a
:23:31. > :23:37.
:23:37. > :23:46.CRT machine. There were a few crashes in the very early stages of
:23:46. > :23:53.the race. It is maybe never dull.It was the perfect race and your first
:23:53. > :23:58.one of the season and were better for it to come? Thanks, it was a
:23:58. > :24:05.fantastic job. All the weekend we were showing good pace. It was not
:24:05. > :24:13.clear in the race because of the drag end of the tyres. When I got in
:24:13. > :24:20.front I tried to push my rhythm, but not too hard because I did not want
:24:20. > :24:27.to destroy the tyres. I was going fast, but in a good way and it was a
:24:27. > :24:34.good race in front of my friends. Congratulations again. It was a good
:24:34. > :24:41.race indeed. He did a brilliant job. This was colourful. You cannot say
:24:41. > :24:49.Marquez does not try. I am sure Jorge Lorenzo has got a few words
:24:49. > :24:56.for you. Was it a fair one? It was an incredible race. It was so hard
:24:56. > :25:06.to stay there with Jorge and Dani, but I pushed in all the race and on
:25:06. > :25:08.
:25:08. > :25:15.the last lap I did 110%. I wanted to say sorry to Jorge. But the most
:25:15. > :25:20.important is that everybody has finished the race. I am very happy
:25:20. > :25:26.because it is important for me because it was quite hard. Do you
:25:26. > :25:36.understand why he is angry? Yes, if he did it to me, I would be angry.
:25:36. > :25:43.But it is the race. Many times it has been like that, but on the last
:25:43. > :25:52.lap you give 100% and I saw that I could pass him and I tried. Fair
:25:52. > :26:00.point. It was a tough old move and we have seen it happen. Do you think
:26:00. > :26:09.it is fair? No, I do not. Would you penalised him? No, I would not
:26:09. > :26:18.penalised him, but I would say, just watch yourself. How is Cal feeling?
:26:18. > :26:23.He is looking tired. You held off Bautista for a fifth place. Yes, it
:26:23. > :26:29.was the best thing we could do on the day. Bad luck comes in threes
:26:29. > :26:36.and I did not want to crash again, so I finished the race. I managed to
:26:36. > :26:42.get back to of are. I lost the front a few times on the first five laps
:26:42. > :26:47.and I was run off the track. But I am happy. We finished in the top
:26:47. > :26:56.five again. The first satellite bike. It has been a difficult
:26:56. > :27:00.weekend. As soon as the track temperatures came up, we need to
:27:00. > :27:08.work in that area when we have a full fuel tank in these conditions.
:27:08. > :27:13.That is where we need to improve. Jorge wrote great. I do not think
:27:13. > :27:22.our package as the Yamaha was the strongest this weekend. Especially
:27:22. > :27:24.in the conditions when there is no grip. We just lacked a little bit
:27:25. > :27:31.because normally I think Jorge Lorenzo would be away with this
:27:31. > :27:37.race. We will go from here and we had some questions today, and I will
:27:37. > :27:47.go away from here and recover. should be happy enough as well, it
:27:47. > :27:51.
:27:51. > :28:01.was more than a great effort. It was as tough as you like. I bet Lorenzo
:28:01. > :28:06.
:28:06. > :28:16.was not figuring finishing in third place. For Aleix Espargaro, that is
:28:16. > :28:29.
