Here we go one of the best circuits on the calendar; Mugello.

Dovi is going to be the favorite to take a Ducati victory here, but as always lurking just behind him is Marc Marquez. Can Marquez make it 4 in a row or can Dovi get his season back on track?

Will Zarco mount any challenge?

Will the factory Yamaha's thrive or languish?

Any X factors in play?

They can put a contract with a circle and slash through it on his pit board every time he passes by.

I was thinking Di Giannantonio, Bagnaia and Dovi. Possibly with Bezzecchi, Baldassari and Petrucci getting 2nd

Crutchlow reminds me of Scrappy Doo.

"Michelin: it's difficult to prepare for Mugello" translates to "Our tires will be .... again this weekend"

How embarrassing was it that they had so man fallers at the ‘French’ grand prix?

The thing with Michelin is that they are so willing to manipulate the tires that its bound to blow up in their faces from time to time. Maybe GP needs some more tire democracy, that will 'fix' it.

Why is it just accepted that the tires are so bad?

Oh ya, the 'show'.

I am not sure if I missed the thread, if it went under your radar or if you simply made selective information picking but 2 things

1) its all over the media’s in Spain that Márquez is called a traitor as he has officially blocked the access to HRC for Lorenzo, justification is that 2 strong leaders in the same Team is not good for the bike developments

Source https://www.diariogol.com/motor/mar...-2019-o-pobre-chaval-que-pena_558131_102.html

2) Marc VDS moto2 and MotoGP truck have not arrived in Mugello

Cheers

I've said it loads but as you're newish i'll say it again..i find it hard to like the guy when he's always waving his arms at everybody on track..he's been doing it since his tech 3 days and it does my head in, if he was a bit more humble i wouldn't mind him as much ,as it is he comes across as an arrogant prick

Now that is a great analogy!!!!
Both relevant and retro.
I would give an emoji as a sign of appreciation but I refuse to use them. But, if it's any consolation, it's the closest I've ever come to using one.

As for the race-

Dovi
Marc
Vale

Alright thanks. I like this forum but have no time to read everything so I miss things at times.
