I am confident that Jack will try to lead at some point

Bez if he's not too beat up. Aprilia is cornering bike and PI is a fast flowing track.
FQ might be a dark horse.
But heck the Hondas even have made a jump. Wouldn't have said that at the start of the season. . . That Alex Mickeyez guy might be sniffing with no big bro in the way.
But then Vinales will surprise us all with a blue moon ride.

Well Bastinini ,why not. Or the rather more obvious ktm guy. That thing is fast.

Who's going to wear a seagull in from Bass on third to last lap?

I think Acosta is far more likely than Bastianini but who knows .

Probably a Ducati, depends also on the weather. If it's a warm day then tyre management becomes critical.

If they bring that Heat treated tyre like last round anything could Happen.

Anyone know the tyre allocation??

October is traditional time for Auss GP even when I used to go for 500s/250/125s.

It is rarely searing hot and often Melbourne (ish, but on a sticky outy bit) is much like Wellington this time of year.

They won't have special hot tyres.
It is not a stop and go track, you spend more time banked over so it is flowing and fast. This gives bonus points to tge other bikes and reduces the advantages Dooclatteries have.

That said they are still usually dominant so. . . .

Wonder if it is time to go back there next year? Still there's BermBuster this weekend and probablynext year , so,

Cheers easier to post up than think LOL

Unfortunately had to pull out of NZCMRR Spring classic @ Manfeild this weekend, cant even make local AMCC @ Hampton, I doubt I'll even ride the missus

PS Gonna support the club and take the Race bikes into the Auckland bike show for their stand tho.

Its quite likely MM wont appear until the Valencia test, fwiw. He might race at Valencia but most people seem to think it unlikely

There's a test at Valencia after the GP... he'll likely do that even if he's slow - he'll want to give some feedback
