Coming up soon-ish. Temps are (thus far) predicted in the low seventies. Given that we're in a two-week spurt of weather every day between 85 and 105, a trip to Silverstone sounds enticing. If only it weren't (iMHO) such a boring track. At least there's the unpredictability factor. Last 7 races...

Oro Station Circuit Earns FIA Design Approval Oro Station Circuit Earns FIA Environmental Accreditation Just file this info away in the back of your mind. I don't think they've even broken ground yet, but some Canadian motorsport people are working closely with the FIA to get a new track...

Friday can't come quick enough.

Holy cow what an exciting race but WTF was Binder thinking? And were there no team orders at KTM?

Looks like Marquez has been sidelined for this weekend's race. He suffered a concussion during an off-road training accident while preparing for this weekend's race. He is apparently still unwell and advised to sit the weekend out...

6 wins here for Marquez 1 for for Rins Now of never? Ducatis love this track. Will Bags break the hearts of Marquez fans three-in-a-row?

Once again MotoGp returns to the land of High Tea and manicured gardens. Bet even money British commentators will be talking excessively about Cal even if he's in 15th place, right behind Vinales on the Aprilia. :p Predictions?

Sachsenring has been a Honda track for 8 years in a row. Not this year methinks.

This always seems to be the track/event fans are least excited about.

Laissez les bons temps rouler! Predictions anyone?

Bring it on. All these weeks in a row are kind of great. I feel like I'm binging.

Rain?

Yowsuh! Czech republic GP tomorrow. Two - count 'em - two Frenchies in the first two spots. I have really liked Zarco for a long time. Hoping like hell he gets to prove his naysayers wrong. Good to see Morbid in 3rd Last year 2nd and 3rd on the podium were Ducatis. Won't see either Marquez up...

One of my favourite rounds of the year has arrived, I won't be there this year unfortunately. With the championship decided now hopefully this round can produce some entertainment with a good scrap for the win. Given that Maverick won here last year, this may be the round that Fabio takes his...

With the championship in the bag - the four-round Mundialito commences to see who gets 2nd in the championship. Dovi has a "commanding" but not insurmountable lead. If he all of a sudden gets hot and starts winning races, a lot of people are going to be annoyed. He does however really have a...

FP1 kicking off!

Coming up and not a minute too soon. Unfortunately - no Lorenzo, who will miss Austria too and is expected to return at Silverstone. What a ....-show for him. How does a guy come back from a season like this?

This track always seems to produce a .... show - yet I always get up in the morning to watch hoping it'll be better than the year before.

Safe to say - Marquez will win. Questions are: How many seconds will 2nd place be behind him? Will Ducati pick up the pace? Dovi was 5th last year behind Vinales, Iaanone and Rossi. Will Lorenzo start to show some promise - or will we have to wait till mid-season for that? Maybe people will...

So late in the week and no race thread started (that's the problem with back to back race weekends I suppose) I thought I'd get one going. So what's the predictions?? Apart from the early mornings, this for me is always one of the best races of the year. Sometimes because titles are sewn up...
