Every time I start warming up to one of the VR46 riders, he says/does something stupid to undo all the process in one stroke.
I'm telling you guys. Pecco is Vale without the charisma. He is more like the ranch father than any other VR46 rider. If Rossi was the Doctor Pecco is the Candy striper.Every time I start warming up to one of the VR46 riders, he says/does something stupid to undo all the process in one stroke.
Going to get interesting? (insert smilie).Great race, Pecco comes through! Martin folds after a great clean Marquez pass. Acosta finishes the race on the podium. It’s going to get interesting.

I think Marc still has a good shot at the championship this season for the reason I said he would. Marc's worst races are going to be better than Pecco and Jorge's. All 3 will crash. If Marc crashes less he will take the title with consistency. If not for Pecco taking him out and a brake issue in Austin he'd be leading the championship now. He will only get stronger.Martin crashing out seems to be par for the course with these guys. As long as he stays upright tomorrow, he should be okay losing some points as long as he is bagging points. But the inconsistency he and Bagnaia have is maddening to watch. I think Marc is taking the right approach, just keep scoring points every single sprint and GP. The wins will come at some point, but to only be 32 points down in the championship with not a single win is impressive stuff. I hope he can start closing the gap because it'll give us some real fireworks as the season progresses.
Not sure what Oliveira was even trying to do with that move on Fabio. But the Yamahas really had no pace today which is pretty much what I had expected to begin with.
Binder had a great start and then died. I thought Pedro rode a great race, thought though he'd be at the front of the pack, but perhaps that'll be in tomorrow's race.
Disappointed with the Aprilia's not really doing much of anything as I thought this was going to be a good circuit for them, but perhaps not. Another front row start squandered by Maverick. It'll never change.
Hope tomorrow's race is exciting. A lot of great potential for fights at the front.

If Marquez wins tomorrow, on Italian soil, the spitefulness from the Italian camps will definitely ramp up. Half my family is from Naples. I can say with some authority, Italians tend to be sore losers. Hence my not being surprised at Rossi’s pettiness and vindictiveness.I am calling it now. Marc wins tomorrow and the valleys of Tuscany fill with Italian tears.
And he looks to be in a mode he has managed previously, he hasn’t looked like making a riding error (touch wood) for several races now, beautiful clean passes etc.I think Marc still has a good shot at the championship this season for the reason I said he would.

With some encouragement from Senna’s Carress (a new poster whom I esteem highly btw) I might have over analysed Bagnaia’s and MM’s attitudes this weekend in terms of implications for future riding gigs. It is more than possible that Bagnaia has been charged up to be particularly anti all things Marquez by the presence of his godfather/ranchfather in the pits. Agostini was around as well looking rather more dignified.I can't deal with any of them at this point. It's all a big circle jerk in that camp. Rossi truly was the worst thing to ever happen to GP racing.
