CATALUNYA GP 2018

I can't even remember what was the last time MM was participating in Q1 on pure merit.
Strange weekend.

Probably way too soon to be saying this. Just coincidence, or is JLo looking his old 2015 metronomic self? This is the only rider imo that puts MM under flustered crash prone pressure. Of course now he (Marquez) will go out and win the race by 10 secs, not matter I can’t help myself.

MM last went through Q1 in 2015 i think.
Interestingly, montmelo has more right hand turns than left handers.
 
If Ducati/JL had waited 2 more races before making a decision, things would look a lot different for the next season. Silly season being so early is detrimental to the sport

Good job JLo! He is certainly on it. It doesn't necessarily mean that he'll win, but he's there.
We are having a good race, just look at the front row.

His problem seems to have been at a level beyond the race team with one Claudio Domenicali, much as Casey Stoner's was with Mauricio Arrivabene. Perhaps Domenicali has ambitions to be the team principal of Ferrari, making really bad decisions for Ducati seems to have been no impediment to Arrivabene becoming so.

I don't blame Lorenzo for impatience at all, being called out publicly by some hanger on like Domenicali is absolute justification for a 5 time world champion to explore his options, as others have said.
