Yes, we've been in drought in central Texas for a couple months, the rain is welcome, but not on MotoGP weekend!!! LOL
 
Looks like it’s going to be dumping rain all weekend. Is this going to affect the race in any way?


Unsurprisingly its going to be doing the same in the UK. This weekend and the next..and the next...and the next...and the next...and the next...and the next...and so forth

I feel your pain

It could be worse, you could live in St Louis.

I just watched the “interview” with Puig about how hard they are working to recover form at Honda. BS, he didn’t have any answers.

Fabio and rain. We’ll I like to think he is still improving and developing. Hopefully his wet weather skill will improve.

Could be the bike as well. Any other Yamahas excelling in the wet?

If you got back both Rossi and Lorezno (if full wet and not mixed conditions) were able to do well in the wet.

Vinales hates seems to hate the wet or any condition that isn't perfect, Rossi has more or less dropped off a cliff over the last few years. IMO this makes it difficult to know if its Fabio or the bike.

I think if its wet it favours Marquez, he is a good wet weather rider, he loves this track and perhaps most importantly, it should help mask his fitness issues.
 
Hope that’s not Rossi on the grid in that picture, if so he’s “doctoring” the wrong grid spot…
Way too close to the front!

Whichever it is, this could make things very interesting.
 
Latest weather report says rain Fri and Sat / Warm and Sunny on race day. Won't that make things interesting?
 
MM leading both practice sessions so far. This is very interesting to see. I wonder if he's bringing the goods this weekend.
