Here I was thinking this could be one of their best showings! Hopefully it’s all up from that bad deal.

Glad we ended up with the sixth gate pic.  I have to say that guy announcing and pulling the ballots was such a douche.  He starts off by telling everyone that they weren't listening to the FIM and that they need to straighten it up, then goes into the ballot process and no one can hear what he's saying because he's not on a mic.  Amateur hour.

What about Team Morocco getting picked number 1 two years in a row?

What are the chances of that?

I should know this, but how do gate picks work for Sunday again?

They group the qualifying races scores together to give an overall qualifying place. So if a team qualifies in say 6th, for each main race the team gets 6th and 26th gate picks.

Thanks. It looks like both our teams have their work cut out with gate picks 36 and 37.

Webb holeshotted from last gate pick last time. No pressure Sideways
The start is pretty fair here. 1-10 gate pick doesn't really matter too much

Justin Cooper layed a good one on them in Assen too, from a horrible gate pick.

All of the top teams except France are in very good gate picks.  And even France could be worse...

Canada and GB are both in tough spots, but their quality should still put them in the top 15 and that's acceptable for the moto's.  They just need a few good rides in the qualifiers to get there.
