France 250 Qualifying Spolier ***

So much for Lorenzo. That was one NASTY highslide. No "Lorenzo Land" flags
being planted this weekend. See if he makes it back for the race 2mrrw.

Good nut that Lorenzo...toughed it out and came back for the session.

Question...KTM...is that their motor or is it just a rebadged Aprilia/Honda?

Here's a suggestion.
Go ask Harald Bartol and see how many teeth he hands you.
V twin-paralell twin Yeah gotta be a rebadge...

 

Edwards had one in FP3, but none of them really that bad from what I saw.
Lorenzo is hurting, though.

The one that was really nasty in 250 was Shi Zhao Huang - hits someone from
behind on the straight and goes sideways. Against a metal rail, basically.
Ends up flat out. Could have easily been a fatality. Really ugly... Phew.

 

I eat my words! Wow...nice race win.

Still dont like him though...he comes off like such an arrogant a**hole,
albeit a fast one. Or maybe its just me. But his celebrations seem more
egotistical than Vali's from back in the day.

Guess I'm an an old & bitter ex-racer. ;(

Edwards' comment when interviewed later "the ground didn't hurt so
much as I remembered so I went for it in the next session" .
