I care, Dovi doing well. Will Marquez cruise for position, or go for it? Will Rossi behave himself? Will Jorge and Dani fight for a podium? What will the grid girls wear? Fantastic to have another race in my timezone.

Sad start to the weekend with the passing of Stefan Kiefer. Understandably, team has withdrawn.

Not quite but it does look interesting.
Did anyone see the incident between Bautista and Vinales? Seems the cameras really did miss it.

I saw the onboard footage from Vinales' bike. Looked a fair cloat he got but doesn't show what Bautista was up to before it.

Yeah that's all I saw, must be someone out there with footage. From what I heard it wasn't Bautista's fault as he'd been forced offline or something, consequently he went into the turn to fast.

According to Emmett and Ryder, Rins was kicking about in the background so don't know if he was maybe involved.
Think it was Barbera that was involved and not Bautista. Shows how little was caught on camera. I couldn't even get that bit right.
That's maybe why Bautista isn't getting the blame as well.:lol:

Not surprising that Dovi leads at this point, considering the track, the conditions, the Ducati and it's history, and his personal record. There is a good chance, taking last year's results into account, that the championship will be decided the last weekend. While Marquez is much wiser these days, he is still Marc the mad, and can get pretty excited out there. Perhaps we will be treated to another amazing wet weather contest between the two contenders.
I still find it interesting that Lorenzo was labeled with a "can't-ride-in-wet" sticker, but he seems to be going pretty well on the Duc.

Very different conditions in FP2 but Dovi and Marquez were well clear of everyone else. That suits Marc better and I think for once he won't chuck everything at Dovi. As long as he is only 1 spot behind him, then it's title over. No need to risk everything to gain points on his title rival.
As for Lorenzo, he looks to be growing in confidence with the duke. A confident George is a very fast George.

It seems likely that this will be Dovizioso's race to win.
If MM finishes P2 he will become world champion.
Still a good chance the title goes down to Valencia.
Forecast for Sunday is thunderstorms. Might make for an epic race if nothing else.

The hour to hour forecast is actually looking decent for racetime. Hope it's dry, would hate to see Marquez tip toeing around for a top 10 finish, I would like to see him wrap it up this weekend so he can race at Valencia.

Likewise. His pace has been okay this weekend though so he may have no choice but to have to go to Valencia to clinch the title. Pedrosa is looking quite strong here as usual. MM may need to latch onto the back of Dovizioso and hope for the best in the race if that is even possible. Either way would like to see him wrap it up as well.
