Marc has declared that they have found the base setup that gives that sweet feeling of being one with the bike.That is bad news for the rest of the field as he won the title on the bike without that sweet feeling. He will be a threat to win on all the remaining tracks, so I will pick him to extend his points lead with a win this Sunday.

Motegi being a "Honda Track" - I'd agree. A no brainer.

Regardless of what they say about the weather on the news etc, This weekend is is a bank holiday one so a 3 day weekend to enjoy if you are a duck.

Its supposed to be sunny, hahahaha, it'll be wet I think, I'm a fatalist when it comes to brit weather.
Who will win, well Marquez loves Sliverstone, as he and Pedrosa really shine in the wet when following each other .

Dovi will be nowhere as will his team mate, both are crap in UK wet weather.

So who will win.

Zarco I'd like to win, he knows how to trip people up at Sliverstone and a prime example will be Mr Rossi :spin: the doctor without a qualification to practice.
Vinales as I want him to stuff it to the afore mentioned person.
Smith as he's done it before along with Cal, just cos he is so un PC.
The other person in the wet to get a podium was Redding, but I've gone off this loudmouthed yob, lets pick another underdog who has performed well in the wet Folger.

So there is who I'd back in the wet, stuff the aliens where it hurts, if its a wet race which I expect and really want.

MotoGP Country Hits

NARRATOR: Timelife music is proud to bring you MotoGP's Country Hits album. Featuring such classics as Marc Marquez's cover of the Kenny Rogers song, "Lady", a tribute to his championship lead...



"Lady"

Trophy, I'm your rider in Under Armor (tm) and I love you
Points have made me what I am and...
I am yours
Trofeo, there's so many records I can set if I have you
Let me mount you in my home for...
Ever more

The press has gone
And made me such a fool
My championship hopes rest
In your love
And oh, we belong together
Won't you believe in my song

Trophy, for so many races I thought I'd never find you
You have to my pit box and...
Made me whole
Forever let me wake to see you each and every morning
Let me polish you ever so softly..
With my tears

NARRATOR: And who could forget Valentino Rossi's tribute to Jack Greene over his diminishing chances at a record tenth championship aboard the Yamaha...



There goes my only possession
There goes my everything
I hear engines slowly cranking
As tires gently roll across a lonely floor
And a voice is softly saying
Your ninth this will be the last forever more

There goes my reason for racing
There goes the last of my dreams
That trophy's not my possession
There goes my everything

As my memory turns back the pages
I can see the pranks I played before
Now the rivalries that kept this old heart beating
Keep me out while others go through the door

NARRATOR: Act now, and we'll include the bonus track of Jorge Lorenzo celebration of his renewed confidence in the Ducati GP17 after recent updates gave him a feel to the front tire that he's never known before.



Take wings from in the air
Cut the bottom, let it fall
Slip it on the GP's skin
Like a shadow on the wall

Do not throw me on my side
In the late afternoon light
To know you I've taken my time
Help me win a race this night

Aero rules are right or wrong
I don't try to understand
Just let Honda take tomorrow
Cause to win I need a friend

Yesteryear is dead and gone
My next championship's out of sight
It's sad to be alone
In the paddock through the night

Maybe it's better if Marquez doesn't have confidence in front end. He has thrown it down the road twice already and is nowhere near the front of either session.

Ok, I'll give you that but having to hunt for it, especially as its been at a rubbish track for a few years and it should only be applied to the current track.
