Always my favorite circuit of the season. Good track for lots of passing.
Predictions?

Fabio is favourite, Maverick has a good record at the track so I would expect him to be up there as well.
 
Oliveira for me.
I always thought Phillip Island was your favourite.

That was before 4 years ago when I actually went to Assen to watch the race. Phillip Island is on my bucket list. Hope to get contact info for all the Oz-Guys from this forum and do a meet-up.

Mav is mentally checked out. I agree with your Fabio prediction, Yammys do well here. Unless it rains.
 
Mav and Pol 1 & 2 in FP1.
Wtf?
The 2 blokes who had given up on using their own settings.
 
Why the smile emoti?

Migs is an ....... and a .........

Also close to the longest term member still posting and fine away from the “stop the steal” narrative.

I am over discussing the rider concerned, vs the riders I support or have supported previously anyway. My issues are not with his riding or his achievements in any case.

I really don’t know how MM can go on with what is happening currently. I guess the qualifying crash was a fairly routine one but was in a circumstance where he has usually excelled previously, I can’t recall off hand him crashing on a banzai last qualifying lap or banzai last race lap. The high side in practice was just absolutely massive, seldom seen in recent years and exactly what the electrickery is supposed to prevent according to the arguments for same from the safety point of view. I guess he has pushed for the bike to be as fast as possible without consideration and bears some responsibility for the way the Honda is although not for anything that has been done in the last year, but speculation from the commentators that the now higher grip current tire might be a factor seems reasonable to me. I guess all these crashes show that his previously fractured humerus is fully healed now, or at least not subject to re-fracture from incidental trauma, he has subjected it to rather more stress than opening a window.
 
Race winner looking very hard to beat for the season.
Has the speed and consistency.

Man vs HRC Bucking Bronco chassis. Eventually, Man loses.

That said, Nakagami was on fire for the better part of the race. Very impressive.

And he does it without all the practice crashes.

BTW - WTF, why was Miller black flagged?
