Watching todays proceedings live.
Pity Quartararo couldn’t get through to Q2. He was **This** close. However , the Yamaha does seem to flick from side to side MUCH quicker than in recent times. They’re not there yet, but getting there.
The Honda still looks like the front end is made of chicken bones. I really hope they sort it out in the coming weeks.
Pecco is still on a different level. Ending his Q2 early and sitting back was a statement move, if not a bit of mind games with current and future rivals.
Expected Márquez to do better than he did, but that torpedo move basically undid his progress. Still expecting a rocket ship start in both races.
Binder seems to be getting his confidence back, which is always a good thing. Acosta seems a bit off his top game, but still expecting good things.
Viñales is still a wild card for this race, but I expect him to Viñales this race in classic Viñales fashion. A. Espargaro could have been a podium contender, but landing on one’s tailbone after a high side is one of the most painful situations one can be in (Been there), so I don’t expect more than P7-8 from him today. A pity.
Expecting both races to be a Ducati 1-2-3, take your pick between Pecco, Martin, Marquez, with a slight edge to Pecco.
