I think you'll find anyone as good at flatrack racing as they both are, is a master of riding around, and finding a solution to problems on the fly mate.

Like Jack Miller?

Point I am trying to make is they're all so feking talented. We are lucky to see such a great bunch out there doing there thing.

I wouldn't be discounting Rossi,its only FP2.
Have a look at Qual and still don't discount him.

Lucky? This is the 3rd consecutive season I've sprung for the MotoGP video pass, I'm blessed. The racing just gets better, which is hard to believe. I'm running out of superlatives, bit like Nick Harris but I swear and slur more.

Dovi will be balls out but may get shunted, Rossi will be on heavy meds and Zarco has learned a lot about Mugello after his Moto 2 win there last season.

My predictions will be coming out of my old crash helmet, clueless I am.

Ok, Caberg says..

Bollocks, I just looked at the FP standings... Should have used my Bell.

We are a third of the way through the season. Dani Pedrosa is uninjured and in second place! Dare I hope???

If it happens we should get together and get shitfaced in his honour

I read the bit about him finding that it hurt to pull himself forward on the bike, which he had not been expecting. I'd been considering including him in my list but thought maybe not. Of course if he shows me up as a follower of little faith I'll be delighted.

MV apparently had a high speed off and was feeling fairly second hand which is why he is so far down my list.

I too scratched Vinales because of that crash in FP. That looked like it really knocked the sparkle off him.

MM reckons DP is the man to beat. I haven't seen that in his lap times but maybe his spies in DPs garage know something. Track will be cooler for race so MM might be a contender now, I think if it remained as hot as it was on Saturday he would have cooked his tyre.

I will stick with my previous prediction though but with the VR falling back, as dickhead would say, "Don't rule him out for a win".

Speaking of dick heads I watched fP4 last night before passing out and counted the use of the word "crucial" about 20times in the first 5 minutes. Wankers

MM looks pretty much on the limit.I thought that if was slippy the Hondas were supposed to work a little better,or the yammies a little less good

...I found a Spanish stream...the unintelligible was more entertaining than the English commentators and guess what, the boys on the track can't hear them so the racing is just the same...you didn't have to hear anything to know that Zarco's placing in FP3 then his placing in FP4 and then Q1 and his subsequent placing in Q2 had me wondering about his head or his setup, then when you look at how close all the top ten boys are, it yet again means it's anybodies race...tyres, temperature and luck will override even skill factors when the times are so close...hunger for winning shone from MM from day one, back when he crashed the party...now there are people who have as big an appetite as his was...

I also heard that Bautista is riding one of those fancy "Aprilia Ducatis"
