Naturally, its Rossi's tires Rossi's frame so Vinales really has no choice but try to ride like Rossi.
We saw how it went in preseason testing when they briefly allowed Vinales to ride how he wants. It made Rossi quote 'sad'. Cant have a sad clown eh all the bopper kids will cry.

This race gave an indication of Marquez pace when hes not handicapped by tires. He was able to use the medium in the drying conditions without fear of it overheating.
What he gets more often than not in true dry conditions are tires that soon overheat and turn to jelly, even when they are designated 'hard'. Imagine Marquez on a true hard. Actually no need to imagine it happened on 2014 brickstones, a very boring tedious 10 race winning streak.

It took 10 races for the riders 1st and 2nd in the championship to share a podium and it appeared that the 2 have no relationship whatsoever. No interaction on track after the race, none in parc ferme, none on the walk to podium celebration and none on podium. All in all one of the most blase victory celebrations ever. I guess with 3 Spaniards on the podium and a Spanish racing legends unexpected death, no one was in a party mood.

Only 2 Aussie brewed beers I have liked (and I am in general a non drinker) are Coopers and a Tasmanian one ............ name escapes me.
Mind you, I do not mind a stella artois either

Was thinking that one Baz, and it may well have been but just cannot be 100% sure.
