JohnnyFiama should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
125 / 250

Two very silly questions.....

1. What do the 125 and 250 teams use for pit garages? When you watch qualifying you see riders pull into their own garages with all the team names all over them. How does that work? Most circuits don’t have enough garages to hold every MotoGP, 250 and 125 team. Do they all share?
2. How do you start a 125 or 250 bike? Can you just bump start them or do they use the "rear wheel spinners" like the big bikes?

Bigger 125/250 teams (or some having team in both like Aspar) have garages, remember that bike garage don't take that much space as car (F1) garage on the circuits were both race. (Sepang, Barcelona) And that's what I mostly see after or during race, not sure if everyone have their own. TV coverage isn't very nice for riders/teams near the end of the pack. Might get themselves in the pictures if they crash.

They are bump started. The rear wheel spinners are only used for the MotoGP bikes as the high compression ratio they run makes them virtually impossible to bump start.
In the last race at Brno Tony Elias stalled his Ducati taking off for the warm up lap. His crew had to bring the "starter" back to the grid to get him running.
