    Yamaha previously only produced new bikes for two riders each year. There was talk earlier that the extra money Petronas were prepared to spend had produced extra new bikes.

    On checking some news items it seems Morbidelli has an A spec bike, Quartraro a B spec bike. Whatever that means.

    Honda have had more weird mechanical problems which is causing the pundits to wonder if there is some radical new concept being developed.

    Nice to see the young Yamaha guys up there, tho Rossi had trouble coming thru.

    MM just too good.

    You'd never go hungry with Nigella Gaz.

    Mat oxley did, but I'm not going to give him grief 'cause when I've asked him things on social media he has answered.

    Rossi
    Rins
    Vinales
    That must be my best prediction ever.

    Marquez looked like he sleepwalked (by his standards) his way to the podium. I have a suspicion he will be the 2019 champion. Remember folks. You heard it here.

    You read it here first
    Not that bad a guess, if Rossi and Rins hadn't had to start from so far back they may just have filled the spots, of all the riders race pace MM VR and AR impressed me the most.

    JL was only .6 off a lap most the race, problem is that puts you miles back in this modern era.
    He will get there, either that or Honda will shit can him and grab one of the impressive rookies

    And there are a lot of impressive rookies on offer too. The wave coming through from the Moto3 ranks promise some great riders in the near future.

    Marquez, as the oldest rider (On the front row today) should be looking over his shoulder....

    And notable mention to Vinales for not going backwards at the start and holding off Dovi at the end. Go Mav!

    Go Yamaha ! Go Rossi !
    I wouldn't back Dovi in a fight and #99 will be elsewhere mentally ???? lol
    I wasn't that far off then ? lol Apart from Rossi that is ?

    Testing is over, there will prolly be comprehensive reports in due course.

    Lorenzo crashed and says he is sore, but his confidence must be hurting too.

    Suzuki had a pooper scooper to try - just the one - but Rins ran into the gravel trap and broke it.

    Rossi says Yamaha made improvements in the electronics but nothing life changing.

    I think Morbidelli bike is the same as the two factory bikes, and Quatararo's is JLo's old bike, the frame at least.

    The pundits have been discussing this, but from the point of view that the Yamaha is the go-to nursery bike in the MotoGP class,
    riders who get one often manage to impress.

    Zarco will be trying but the KTM is not a Yamaha, and he was not shy about saying so. He had already said that he couldn't believe how bad the KTM was. Not what the average CEO wants to read. Instead of dumping Zarco maybe they should listen to him and fix what's wrong with the bike?

    Looking at the Jerez results, Stephan Bradl finished a few places ahead of Lorenzo. Jorge has experience at adapting to different machinery now, so hopefully he can figure out the Honda sooner rather than later.

    I feel a bit sorry for Zarco, joined a team with Yamahas, ended up with KTMs, poles apart.

    Cheers

    Zarco isn't doing any favours by saying he won't change his riding style to work with the bike. If full attack mode isn't fast why is MM a multi world champion?
    You don't see JL saying the bikes shit, you see him working to bring himself and the bike closer together, just like he did on the Duke. Zarco should be following his lead
