Thought I'd better get a thread going on this since it's Tuesday evening and not one appeared yet.

Expecting to see a similar race result as last week but hoping it doesn't take to the last 5 laps to get going.
In moto3, hoping that the Wee McPhee continues to compete up the front but manage to stay out the danger this time.

Really looking forward to this one as flying out Thursday morning for it. A weekend of beer, bikes and burgers. Cannae beat it.

I really cannot add anything else, fella. The podium will have the same guys on it as Brno.

On a different note, I used to live and work out in Austria, in Graz, designing the mobile phone networks and the A1 Ring, as it was then, was in my patch. It's a lovely neck of the woods.
 
Graz is where we are staying. Train up and down to circuit all 3 days and from what I have read or been told it is a great way to do it. Must be nice having a reliable switched on rail network.
You're not the first person to tell me how nice the area is. Supposed to be a great trip down from Vienna.

Wow! You designed the A1 Ring!! Awesome!
(Kidding)
Go Dovi. Maybe this will be another one for Lorenzo.
 
Dovi won here last year. If Lorenzo and him can pull of another 1-2 finish I will be more convinced that Marquez is struggling. I can't say I thought that the case at Brno.

FTFY. MM doesn't struggle, well, not like mortals. Just look at Pedrosa on the same damn Honda. The Honda isn't perfection. And Rossi continues to beat Crutchlow. I truly believe MM would still be leading the 'ship on a Yamaha or a Ducati. But, I am a MM ... sucker. :cry:
 
Marquez is not struggling. It was a bike issue at Brno where he couldn't get drive out of corners. If you look, his corner speed was phenomenal, it was the external temperatures that I think did him with making any real challenge. The hard tire isn't hard enough.

Still have plenty here. Not many weekends I get to add in the bikes though. And you're right about Tennents being rank. It shows how bad McEwans was that TL sent it under. Some decent ales though. Deuchars IPA being my personal favourite.
It's no just mars bars that get deep fried. Pretty much owt you could eat, cover it in batter and get it in the fryer. Job done.

Must admit i miss the spicy haggis suppers i used to get when i worked in Aberdeen..and my local curryhouse in Stonehaven...can't get a curry in NZ as good as the UK.
 
How did you get on with the language barrier in Aberdeen??
Have to admit I struggle to understand half of them.

It wasn’t as much him having drive problems, it’s shows how good Ducati’s drive is.

Whatever folks opinions on Cal, he was right when he said if the Ducati is on hards, you know they aren't hard enough for the Honda.
Damage limitation last race probably more of the same this weekend. Just Marquez does damage limitation very well.

He was having drive problems regardless of how good the Ducati drive was. If he was getting out of corners with better drive, that may be a completely different race.
