MotoGP marketing Red Bull USA/CotA style...
Next up CotA, It was decreed at the recent private practice there that those who did not attend would be at a big disadvantage in terms of track knowledge.
The times suggested that the track suits the Honda better than the Yamaha, the pundits postulated that this was because of the hairpins requiring more acceleration during a lap than normal, and the Honda seamless gearbox gives them the advantage in this respect.
Then again, those same pundits said that Pedrosa and Lorenzo had improved over the last two years so as to have advanced beyond Rossis level.
To refresh your memories here are the times from day 1 at CotA:
1. Marc Mαrquez Repsol Honda Team 55 laps 204.619 - photo
2. Dani Pedrosa Repsol Honda Team 59 laps 205.047
3. Jorge Lorenzo Yamaha Factory Racing 54 laps 205.291
4. Stefan Bradl LCR Honda MotoGP 50 laps 206.053
5. Valentino Rossi Yamaha Factory Racing 68 laps 206.507
Maybe the magicians at Yamaha have come up with something, but well know in a couple of weeks. Barring accidents or incidents I wouldnt expect George to disappear into the distance quite like he did in Qatar.
But a Honda might?

I'd put it on the dwarf at this early stage. Later in the season when Marquez has a bit more experience under his belt it'll definitely swing his way, but at this stage I'd go with Pedro. After all, he's never done well in Qatar, something to do with him being a lightweight on a very dirty surface and it's a layout he doesn't like anyway.
Zen wisdom: No matter what happens, somebody will find a way to take it too seriously. - obviously had KB in mind when he came up with that gem
