On this one, no predictions from me. This track is still kind of a mystery.
I suspect Fabio will at least do his best to re-live his 2021 experience.

I think the M1 should get around here pretty well...that's probably the extent of my predictions for this circuit since we don't know if they've fixed all the issues from testing there.

I hope it's a good race no matter who is up near the front.
 
During the testing, both Miller and Marquez said that turn 2 was ,too fast, can't wait to see who the bravest is.

Marquez said a turn was too fast?

Possible he was joking

“T2 I don’t like it because it’s too fast,” said the collector of six MotoGP world titles, laughing.


“There is a bit of a wave in that corner. If you take the risk, maybe you can get a better lap time. However, in this situation, we have to stay calm.”

I could see with a more nuanced translation, he might be saying, the turn is too fast to be safe, due to lack of sufficient elevation change or camber.

Just watched a few excerpts from the presser. Marquez seemed to be saying something to the effect that he will eventually get used to the new bike and when he does, look out!

Looking forward to what happens at this race. No predictions, but I sure hope it’s a dry race too.
 
Watching Pt2 and it's clear that Petronas team principal Razlan Razali unabiguously DETESTS Rossi.

Not sure what you mean by Pt2 but yea, in the Unlimited series I got the same impression.

Yamaha looking alot better at this circuit.
FQ looking very good and 0.2 clear.
MM off twice in Q2. First Honda in P15 but just under 0.8 off pole.
 
Methinks it'll be a cold day in hell before any of these riders will be referring this track as one of their favorites.

Fabio seems to like it…..

I watched Q1. I think we can forget about Marc Marquez being more conservative. No new spots on the leopard.

Still hoping for a dry race.
 
Looks like it's Fabio vs the Ducati Army with a little Brad Binder thrown in. Seems Fabio will be using the soft rear as the medium wasn't working for him. Can he make it last?
