vinales lead fp1

Crutchlow top in FP2

suddenly yamaha not doing bad...

the mystery continues...

marquez gonna start from pole again...

Rossi second, hopefully he can put up a good challenge

They said this track is benchmark for upcoming races. If Yamaha doing well here they have opportunity to turn around the championship in upcoming races. Haha.

Great win by dovi...

Looks like Yamaha got it right this time.

Too bad for marquez his bike blew up...

game over for marc marquez, this year star is aligning for bravo dovizioso. I support dovi for this year championship.
looks like yamaha could relief they won't be so much trouble in coming races as mentioned by some others if this is benchmark track for upcoming races.

Must be Dovi vs MM this year...Yamaha guys can count on 3rd position

Yamaha guys can spoil the party.

Anyway still plenty of races to go. Don't see VR winning it as of now but he might get to help MV's chances

Riders' World Championship:
1. ^1 Andrea Dovizioso ITA Ducati Team (GP17) 183 points
2. ˅1 Marc Marquez SPA Repsol Honda (RC213V) 174 points (-9)
3. = Maverick Viñales SPA Movistar Yamaha (YZR-M1) 170 points (-13)
4. = Valentino Rossi ITA Movistar Yamaha (YZR-M1) 157 points (-26)
5. = Dani Pedrosa SPA Repsol Honda (RC213V) 148 points (-35)

Point gap between TOP 5 still is not much. A single 1st place win (25 points) can change everything.

another 6 races to go...

predict VR46 cant make it again for 10th title..
poor him..next year perhaps..
he getting old anyway..

Almost VR, almost, need to work a bit more on the tyre wear issue. Moto3 was a very good race.

I just finished watching the recorded race!

Good result for Dovi again, he is really on a roll now. Not bad also for the Yamaha boys, I just wished VR would have won it with MV 2nd and Dovi 3rd but anyway good for us also that MM had blown engine so competition is a bit tighter again. I was clapping my hands when I saw the smoke!

I feel VR would loose again this year. This last race when MM was DNF, VR still could not capitalize to the fullest, and now he's still over 1 race behind Dovi in the lead. Realistically I think will be only between the top 3 now. DP is already out of the picture coz still too far behind, while VR chance is already becoming remote. Now we need Dovi to have an issue please, while the Yamaha boys beat MM!

MM and Dovi anytime might DNF due to some crash as usual...
VR and Vinales more consistent, seldom DNF due to crash, but VR would be beaten by younger faster Vinales.

but engine failure very hard to predict.. anybody could have it, hehe...

VR already said himself that he is not a contender for the championship but then that's just him playing the psychological game. I think it's still anyone in the top 5 coz it's been unpredictable and inconsistent for everyone so far. Well...I'll just enjoy the show race by race.

CRUTCHLOW > all

PERHAPS Dovi win this year...
never like MM.. sorry MM 's fans...

Speaking of riders at the back of the grid, Sam Lowes going back to Moto2, such a shame, can't blame him, he's been racing on a less competitive bike and not even the same spec as his team-mate. good luck to him, hope he can win the Moto2 championship next year.
