Dani, Vale, Johann , got 2 right last time so going for 3 here.
:fishing1:
 
You always putting pedders on top. You must be dani's boy or something. The name suits you better.

We do share a similar first name and also initials so he's always going to figure in my predictions . And I'd rather see Dani win one title than Vale win a 10th.

Johann... because...
Dani... .....the last time he won in Le Mans (2013) was straight after a win in Spain...
Marc... ....after (hopefully) a good 'fight' with Maverick

With the new track surface on the Bugatti Circuit, I'm not making any race predictions as it's frankly impossible to do without having any knowledge of how the bikes will perform.

Zarco's only issue is going to be if Yamaha decides a satellite bike outperforming their factory machine is not good for their bottom line. Granted Zarco is an exceptional rider, but factories are not huge fans of being behind customer teams no matter who the person is controlling the bike or car.

I'm hoping we get a highly competitive race Sunday.
 
Cloudy and cool [67] with only 1% chance of rain at race time.. New track surface, tons of grip with partly cloudy skis. Who does it favor. The Yamaha normally has issues on cooler tracks, but there is tons of grip so they should be fine. I still think Honda has some catching up to do and are fortunate to be as close as they are. I look for Yamaha to reestablish themselves in a big way starting this weekend.
 
I don't know if anyone else feels the same way, but after the news about Nicky, I can't even really get enthused about this weekend's race at all. I'll still be watching come Sunday, but my enthusiasm is currently nonexistent.

The Championship Fight

MICHAEL BUFFER: ...... and gentlemen, welcome to the Le Mans Bugatti Grand Prix race circuit located in Le Mans, France. This event is sanctioned by the MotoGP Commission for 25 points towards the 2017 MotoGP Heavyweight Championship... of the world. This event is being dedicated in memory to our fallen rider, Nicky Hayden, injured in a push-bike accident and remains in serious medical condition. We will now observe a brief silence to send our sincere wishes for a speedy, and complete, recovery his way.



The three judges trackside that will be scoring this event: From Clermont-Ferrand, France - Michelin tires. From Corbetta, Lombardy, Italy is our second judge, Magneti Marelli. And our third judge, from the backseat of your daddy's car one drunken night in Europe - Whatever Insane Level of Courage You Were Born With. Finally, from inside the asphalt right, the man in charge when the lights go out, referee Gravity and the Laws of Physics.

And now, for the sold out crowds in attendance and the millions watching around the world. ...... and gentlemen, from Les Mans, France, LET'S GET READY TO RUMBLE!

MICHAEL BUFFER: Introducing, in the orange corner... This rider stands right at ankle-biter height, and weighs in at significantly more than average due to the size of his... courage. This man holds a 3 year professional record of 3 races at this circuit, finishing 13th in 2016, 4th in 2015 and 1st in 2014. Hoping that 2017 will be a French kiss and not a French miss, racing out of Cervera, Spain, the Itsy Bitsy Spider, [B]Marc, Marquez[/B]!

MICHAEL BUFFER: And introducing next, in the red corner... This rider is standing a little bit taller after a podium in Spain. For this event, he weighed in more than a little heavy with the weight of his team, their manufacturer, and all of Italy on his shoulders. he holds a 3 year professional record of 3 races at this circuit with finishes of 1st, 1st, and 6th in 2014. Riding out of Majorca, Spain, Georgeous... Jorge, Lorenzo!

MICHAEL BUFFER: And now, ...... and gentlemen, fighting out of the blue corner... This rider stands head and shoulders above the other riders in the paddock... literally. He weighs in this evening with the astonishing amount of weight from the tears of joy flowing from his fans that he is leading the championship. He holds a 3 year professional record of 2nd... 2nd... and.... 2nd. Racing out of his home town of Urbino, Italy. The Moonglow Hippie... Valentino Rossi

Eventful fp3 session there! Zarco not in his comfort zone , Pedrosa and Lorenzo less so. Hopefully the weather stays dry and qualifying puts all the championship contenders' on the first two rows.
