Ok, ahead of tomorrow's race a new thread this week. Of course it's the same track....what's changed in a week? Taking what we can from such a bizarre season, it's interesting to see which teams and riders make the most of these back to back venues.....and who doesn't. This week it looks like Nakagami and Marquez the younger... Nakagami said a while back that he was consciously imitating what MM was doing, if I'm not mistaken. Seems to be working for him. Credit to Alex Marquez for seemingly methodically advancing his level. Those who don't really seem to have made any advances so far....Ducati glaringly in the lead here. Why? It's all of them so.....what? Team decisions....less money coming next year? Fabs, one day up, one day down. It seems to me he betrays his youth by being so frank about following Mir around. I can't see how that helps him. He should shut up and ride faster, with some consistency.... |

If Japanese riders make that leap, copy and improve upon guys like Marquez, the Spaniards are going to be in deep shit. | |

Can I repeat my post from last week about predicting Nakagami for a podium?!

I reckon MM would be top 5 every race on any bike except an Aprilia, but that is a testament to him rather than the other riders being hacks. Last edited by michaelm; October 24th, 2020 at 09:28 PM. | |

This season just keeps on giving. Top ride from morbidelli. Zarco gets a mention. Was shattered for aleix, when his aprilia gave up. He was doing well. Suzuki's are consistently there. Could be a shoot out between rins and mir. I'm backing Joan.

Only Suzuki seems to have managed a modicum of consistence come race day. Oh Franco, do keep it up. What a disciplined ride to the win... ![]() Dovi and FQ still floundering in the middle pack trying to keep a championship charge going in some sort of a way. FQ says the next tracks are great form him and Yamaha. This may be the usual but this season has been anything else but the usual. It's now a matter of who maximises and not messes up when they have a 'good thing' going on a race weekend. | |

Who can remember the last time the winner was decided at the last race? I mean other than 2006.
