Weather looks dodgy. Cold and rainy. Could be two flag-to-flag races this weekend. Not sure picking a winner with any certitude is possible. Oliveira seems to go well in the rain, but he hasn't made much of an impact this season.

Should be a good track for the Hondas, Marc and Rins love this track. Maverick has also had success here. The layout should benefit the Yamahas but Fabio was disastrous last year. Ducati does well on PI. It's gonna be interesting as long as the weather stays calm.

Was hoping he may get a run on form and up the confidence leading up to home race. We will see. I'd love a home win. I believe he is the only Australian rider from 80's onward to yet win a premier class race at the island.

You forgot Stoner 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012
Miller got a 3rd in MotoGP in 2019 and a win in Moto3 in 2014

Talking of Rins, who else has seen all the mutual masturbation of this guy this yr online just because he's 'proven' Marquez as a fraud by winning in COTA?
Man, PI already? This year is flying by. How will Martin respond from his Indonesian blunder? Can Fabio put it on the first 2 rows and fight for a podium? I don't think Pecco will miss Q2 this time out. I never know what to expect from Aprilia and KTM. And then there is Bez....feast or famine.

'Saturday GP'? Australia MotoGP fears over ominous wind forecast
With Miguel Oliveira's 2019 crash still fresh in memory, MotoGP riders are far from thrilled about the prospect of strong wins at Phillip Island.

It's a great track.
.... weather though. If you were looking for a place to stick a race track on the Australian mainland with unpredictable weather that'd be a good choice.
Hope those winds don't eventuate as it is very fast in places. Right down on the ocean though so good chance it will be there.

Bagnaia running 10-14th all practice. Martin goes to the top. Binder is fast too.
I really wonder if nows the time to bet on a podium for Binder

Vermuelen and Bayliss (at least from memory) wish you were correct but sadly it aint just Jack.

Incredible how .... the Honda this year is compared to 2022 which was already a letdown. KTMs very strong. The new revised schedule hurts Pecco who tends to find his groove by Sunday.
