Viñales: “I’m not disappointed”
Maverick Viñales, P6: “I‘m not disappointed. We struggled a bit with the rear grip and I don‘t know why. I felt some strange sliding on the wet, completely different than on the dry, so we have to analyse it. I think we still have to work. It was the first time I went out on the Yamaha in the rain, so there is a lot of work to do on the wet set-up, but I‘m happy. In the end, I‘m the first Yamaha and Valentino is always really fast on the wet, so I‘m quite satisfied and confident. It‘s only the second row. From there I can have a good start and also contend for the victory tomorrow.” Source link

Isaiah Thomas’ Unbelievable Journey Soon Could Earn Him Hefty Contract
Share this: Isaiah Thomas could go from the last pick of the 2011 NBA Draft to a $179 million contract. Not bad, eh? Thomas will be in for quite the raise when his contract ends after the 2017-18 season, and he’s certainly earned it. The 28-year-old point guard quickly is becoming a household name throughout the NBA, and he’s in the midst of an MVP-worthy season for the Boston Celtics with his 29.7 points per game. So it’s safe to say the $6.26 million he’s owed next season will be a lot lower than what he’ll likely receive in free agency following the 2017-18 campaign. The Celtics and Thomas do have a few options on how they get to that point, though, and USA TODAY

Adam Norrodin: “Firstly I want to say a big thank you to the whole team; everyone has worked so hard these last four days and also to SIC for this opportunity to test here. We have been pushing a lot and have achieved what we set out to do here, so I’m very happy. The new bike is great and we found a good base set-up here at Sepang, so it’s been a very positive first test. For sure we still have a lot of work to do before the first race in Qatar, but I’m feeling really motivated for this season. The next test is in Jerez in two weeks’ time, so we will have another opportunity there to
