I'm going for a Ducati and Aprilia mix. If Marc can't make any inroads at this place then we can rule him out this year.

Haha, found this funny from Sofaracer on Twitter:
Sprints :
Dorna are the MotoGP equivalent of a Marijuana Cartel who try to counter diminishing demand for their oversupply of product by throwing in some Crack Cocaine for free
Having had a taste now, the customers don’t want Marijuana anymore
They just want more Crack Cocaine

Supposedly Marc is odds on to win the appeal. I hope he wins here just to spice things up.

Have to stay with Bez for this one, with a side order of Vinales and Bags.

Vinales is like Aldi Lorenzo. He's not aggressive enough to cut through when he needs to, a bit like Zarco. Lorenzo could pull the gloves off when needed.
It's odd how Fabio Q is not an alien at this point. Are there aliens now? I do wonder if Marquez would do a Stoner 2011 if he got on a Ducati.

To be honest, I reckon that if MM was around in 2011, he could've jumped on the Ducati at that time and won on it!

I know there's quality new young guns but I still think a 100% fit MM on the Ducati would be capable of another couple of titles.....

When you think that Rossi was still taking it to Marc when he was 36 (and winning in a 1 on 1 on occasion) - you'd think that a 30 year old Marc would still be more than capable of beating todays young guns. The Honda is a pig and thats the bottom line here in my view. I read that Bradl has been testing the new Kalex chassis, maybe their input may swing things in the right direction.

Well that's a bummer. I guess even super Marc needs more than a couple of weeks to mend.

Another 0 from Marc is just what Bagnaia needs to get back in the game. I wonder if he can capitalise?
Or will the private Ducatis stay in the spotlight? I think some of Bezzecchi's success is down to having Bagnaia's bike from last year and all the factory data. That advantage will slip away as the season progresses and the teams work out the settings for the 23 bike.
Wasn't a great track for Aprilia last year either., still, I think we will see Viñales doing good things this weekend.
