Moto GP Motorcycle Qualifying 28 August 2013 On Sky TV From The Aragon Circuit Near Alcaniz In Spain

 Moto GP Qualifying On SKY TV

What a fantastic performance by Bradley Smith to qualify in 8th place on the grid.

Just watched the Moto GP qualifying at the Aragon circuit near Alcaniz in Spain.
Predictably for a circuit located between Barcelona, Valencia and Zaragoza in northern Spain the weather was hot and sunny with increasing cloud as the day wore on.

The dry weather has made the qualifying fairly predictable in that the top 6 are pretty much as you would expect but I must admit I thought Rossi would struggle to get in the top 6.

But the outstanding performance for me was Bradley Smith in 8th place on the grid. The weather was good and no one appeared to have any problems with the bike or tires so that 8th is a genuine qualifying place and a fantastic effort.

So with the weather set to be similar tomorrow my opinion is that there will be few surprises and the race finish positions will be very similar to the qualifying results with people only swapping one or two places up or down from the qualifying.

Then again someone could always crash out and cause mayhem so as usual with Moto GP and motorcycle racing in general anything could happen and that is what makes it so exciting.

But keep an eye on Smith and hopefully he will keep that 8th place or maybe even improve !
