Title deciders at Valencia have seen minimal to no overtaking at the front. It's a glorified go kart circuit that shouldn't be the final race of the year.

we are talking about the guy that literally had a wall built in his own box when Lorenzo arrived in there...we are talking about the guy that cried like a baby craving ice cream to get the Bridgestone tires....we are talking about the guy that has used the media to ridicule every single rival that ever tried to beat him in the past 22 years.
I am not surprised.
Btw, I hope Zarco smokes him big time tomorrow.

Honda showed Rossi the door when he was still in his prime. They will probably do the same thing to Crutchlow if he gets annoying by demanding stuffs. It's great to see different riders winning races on satellite teams besides the factory riders, so I am happy when he or Miller win. One problem that I have with him is, in my observation, that he can be very fast and racy on a given day, passing everybody in sights but if he comes up behind Rossi, all of a sudden, he gets slow and stays behind Rossi for the rest of the race. It's like Rossi owns him or something, like he doesn't want the "king" to get mad at him lol.
I think the wall was initially a Bridgestone/Michelin thing. Otherwise I agree obviously.

Who in Moto2 has potential for second Repsol ride?
Bagnaia is a VR46 contracted rider - he's out.
Oliviera to KTM - he's out.
Junior Marquez - an option.
Joan Mir? Maybe needs another season in Moto2.
Brad Binder - an option.
Pasini?
Of these riders I rate in order
Oliviera
Mir
Bagnaia
Marquez
Binder
Pasini.

Cal is an arrogant prick. Gets paid for by Honda, demands to be rewarded because he won a race, crashed out of the next one, and took pole with results yet to be determined. Even if he won tomorrow, it doesn't outweigh all of the wrecked Honda bikes he's had over the past couple of years. He's a ...., always has been.
Oh wait I forgot, "British humor".

Finally got around to watch practices and qual.
Marc should be the man to beat tomorrow barring a mishap (or ........ Race Dereliction intervention). Hondas all around look good, surely an aftereffect from testing. I really thought Yamaha would shine more out the gate, and figured that was their formulation for skipping to test the new surface. They still might come through tomorrow. At least Zarco is representing the M1 well, albiet an old one.
Anybody think that under the "new" threshold for RD that at least one penalty should have been issued during practice? (I actually forgot to mention this last race, but there was a rider that went off track and rejoined in a dangerous way, anybody catch that?)
Qual times are tight. Top dozen within .8 secs. Pedro for me was the performance of the day so far, dude is still days removed from a broken wrist and surgery. Shout out to Miller too, riding with a broken Pedrobone last race. Marc left it too late and had an issue in Q, but otherwise he missed out on putting together a pole lap. But that's how it goes. Cal Butthole is impossible to like, sorry Arrabi and Albert Tatlock (RIP) but dude picked up the pieces of Marc missed opportunity and immediately ..... on the moment. Last race it was the tyre lottery, this time HRC lacking support, expects to be rewarded, we'll, let's not forget he was given a undeserved lifeline after quiting on Duc. Maybe HRC don't want their shiny new swingarm destroyed in another predictable crash ala Austin. I can't really fault Cal for thinking the world owes him a curtsy, he blamed Pedro when he torpedoed him, Hack Oxley wrote a spin piece that magically leading the field in crashes not dangerous rather admirable tenacity. I wonder if the "new" RD will ever penalize serial race crashing as dangerous? (I get the test limits thing for practices). For Yamaha to let Zarco go, on the heels of letting Lorenzo go speaks to who is in charge over this project, Uccio, despite Yamaha HQ's protest. At least Zarco praised his old M1 for putting him in the front row. Lorenzo in 4th, kicks of a drowning man or has he found something? Next three races will decide if he's on a Suzuki next year with a substantial pay cut. Speaking of, nice to see Rins and Iannone tenths off pole, but I really don't think Iannone can do anything to save his seat. I just hope he doesn't Crutchlow during the race trying to extend his contract, dead man walking, watch out! Desmo Dovi is under increasing pressure, we've now started the "ground war", tomorrow is the first salvo. Petrux surely formulates Lorenzo's impending departure is a red carrot. We shall see. Sorry, I've run out of time, can't comment on the rest of the back markers.
