Lornezo is looking good. Most of his laps in FP1 were under Rossi's best lap and he imporved considerably in FP2. Rossi imporved a little but not by much, so is currently 8/10ths off.

Rossi boppers are at it on Crash.net, hoping for rain but also saing Lornezo has Rossi's bike development skills to thank for being in the hunt again. Goes back to the article I posted doesn't it....

I didn't expect Lorenzo to be on form with his injury. Rossi needs rain. Both Honda's will play spoiler on Sunday. Rain also improves the Ducati's. Going to be interesting.

Rain is spotty to likely on Sunday...but any amount of rain will play havoc with JLo's mind...

Honda definitely will play spoilers here....Dani with speed and MM with Kamikaze will to win...

I don't think Lorenzo is afraid of the rain. He's won in the rain before. I'm not sure where this fantasy of Lorenzo being weak comes from? Clearly, that's not the case. Lorenzo knows that without it, Rossi has no chance. Not only that, but in the dry, Rossi will struggle to find the podium. Anyone would want conditions that suit their preferred outcome.

Rossi's only chance is rain, Lorenzo can still be competitive in the wet. In the dry, Rossi will contend only with the Honda's and his teammate. If it rains, I think one or three Ducati's will be capable of running well. No matter the WX, there are several plausible scenarios for the race, all interesting.
