    Sorry, it took me a while to understand what you were getting at but the vinho tinto is kicking in and in vino veritas?.

    Agreed, on reflection my comments regarding Rossi and Lorenzo are at odds. I've read explanations as to the problems Rossi and Lorenzo are having while their respective team mates remain unaflicted.

    Can't remember who it was, but one explanation was that Rossi was used to the old Yamaha, the new one is different and he is having trouble adjusting. Vinales coming to Yamaha new had no preconceptions and just got on with it. Maybe they should just give VR his old Tech3 bikes, Zarco isn't slow on those?

    Lorenzo's style on the Yamaha was a development of his 250 style, all about corner speed. George isn't the first rider to have trouble turning the Ducati. We'll see in due course if he was a one trick pony - or if Ducati can give him a bike he can use.

    So while I can't give you a definitive answer, the coming weeks and months should.

    Interesting thing is Rossi coach now is actually Lorenzo high corner speed style rider (Cadalora)

    MM and MV basically a sec a lap faster than everyone else. Awesome last lap from MM, just when it looked like MV was gonna have it. Bring on race day. Best save of the day? Baz in FP4 by miles!!!

    I'm picking DP will jump MV off the line and may just hold him up enough to let MM set off into the distance. MV will win or lose the race off the line

    I think MM is ultimately the fastest but will the tyres last . I think MVcan win. Cant help but think that if it comes to a battle again MM will be the aggressor but MV may have too much grip/tyre life inhand.Certainly looks like its goonea be those too.Whats up with Bautista,4th in argentina 19th here and well behind his compatrots on old ducs

    Very happy to see Pedro back on the podium. Well done that lad!

    Zarco = New Iannone? Ha!

    I was hoping Zarco would hold CC off but alas no.
    Rossi did great again ! Go Vale !
    Hondas looked pretty good,even CC and Miller up towards the front.
    Hiccup for MV.

    You'd never go hungry with Nigella Gaz.
    If it weren't for flashbacks...I'd have no memory at all..
