High winds are forecast for Sunday morning, easing in the afternoon. So the race start may be postponed, possibly as late as 5 PM.
Pecco has one bike he can ride, on the other he has no feel, like Mandalika. They sre meant to be identical.

The Sunday schedule has been pushed back 1 hour to try to avaoid the wind. The GP will be a t 5pm our time not 4 pm
Two Yamahas on the front row,Miller and Fabio did their laps right at the end. Bez was held up by yellow flags and slow riders. Alex crashed twice. My prediction that Jack would lead at some point now looks plausible.Pecco and Binder could face penalties. It looked like zarco was on the pace for pole but Binder sort of got in his way

FQ must have been smoking around as looking at his top speed he was second to slowest down that straight... jack somehow was 10 kph faster - could be slipstreaming i guess as i didn't get to see qualifying. you've got to say Quartoraro must feel awful vulnerable with such a speed deficit. Bez for the sprint today? who knows for tomorrow...
Wasn't a bad race for a sprint. Only Michele Pirro was behind Pecco, and he was faster but didn't overtake.
I watched it live on Three Now, but won't do that again!

three now... and you won't do that again ... funny thing is about half way through the race i vowed to absolutely not listen to those two next year.
not a bad effort from our jack today
A mate of mine reckons that three now are better than motogp. I dont like the three now team.
Bez is now only 8 points behind Bagnaia and Alex has stretched his lead over bagnaia to 92. At the rate they are going I would say that Bez will certainly overtake Bagnaia .Alex only has to finish well now and he will tie up second.He is 100 points ahead of Bez
It looks like Di Giannantonio may overtake Frankie. He is now only 11 behind. Whats happened to Frankie. Has he got a gp 25 now?
As of now there are only 136 points available.
I don't like the MotoGP commentators either, and still miss Simon. But they're not annoying. Plus the picture quality from Three Now isn't as good as Dorna. I don't think that's Three's problem though, if I download a TNT video from Motomundo, it doesn't look great either.
It took Bez a while to take the lead. I don't like his chances in the race if he ends up near the back of the field after the double long lap. How quickly does he have to do them?
And why didn't FQ listen to his team and use the same front as everyone else?

Pecco after the sprint:
“So, we are just trying to understand what is happening.”
Bagnaia noted: "In the end, we came to the conclusion that it's not a matter of set-up or electronics, but something else entirely.
"So, we're looking for what's making the bike not work properly. But it's something that's beyond the team's capabilities. We're sort of nitpicking, and it's never easy to find it."
