Thought I'd better get a thread going on this since it's Tuesday evening and not one appeared yet. Expecting to see a similar race result as last week but hoping it doesn't take to the last 5 laps to get going. In moto3, hoping that the Wee McPhee continues to compete up the front but manage...

This has been two long weeks. What are the odds that any rider will finish the season within 30 points of MM? Can he safely finish the season without a DNF? What’s to become of Dovi the now non-contender? Will Dani have one last flash of brilliance or will he go out with a whimper? What new...

TT 2018 begins tomorrow and as per usual as the TT comes along the recent good weather ..... off and leaves us with a patchy looking practice week ahead of us with dodgy conditions due to run into race week according to the long range weather forecast. :mad:

Thought I would start a thread on Portimao. We have a few days until qualifying, but I am looking forward to the final race of the year. The new track looks excellent, lots of elevation changes. It is of course Bayliss's final appearance. I will be pulling for him to pick up a win at least...
