I haven't read recent posts due to spoilers so forgive me it it's been addressed but what's the drama between Pedrosa and Lorenzo the MotoGP commentators keep referring to? I thought I heard Lorenzo picked "Daniel" to do really well this weekend.

Marc Marquez: “Ducati adaptation is over… I'm dancing with the top group”

Marc seems to think he's ready.

We're going to find out one way or another on this.

They are doing some sort of celebrity boxing match for charity, IIRC.

Okay, it makes sense now. I did hear Matt Birt say something about a boxing match but I thought he was speaking euphemistically. I thought they had some beef going on. I'll put my money on Pedrosa. Lorenzo has gotten a bit chubby.

During his fastest lap attempt, he lost a lot of time in the final sector. If he made a mistake, that would explain his optimism.

Bagnaia also lost time in the final sector, and Acosta was balked by Bezzechi, I think. It will probably be a 3-4 way battle in the sprint and GP.

I unfortunately couldn't see any of the FP sessions today, but I heard heading into the final sector he was up 3/10ths on Pecco's time?

I'm surprised by that because I feel like I could recall him really blazing through there on the Honda back in the day.

The sprint is going to be cracking. Acosta should be up there easily then if he got balked by idiot Bezzechi. I can't see him being a factor tomorrow, but we'll see I guess.

I believe that Pecco crossed the line after the split time was record so he was actually up 3/10ths on Mavs time not Prosecco's

I'd really hate to have to explain to Tardozzi and Gigi why you have a rocketship that you can barely ride any faster than last year's bike.

MM had multiple fastst laps approaching the final corner. They all ended up slower. Losing almost half a second there it seemed to me.
Dont know that it is just the final corner, it is from the last intralap timing point until the finish line anyway.
