Hmm, if Suzuki guys can qualify up front I think they could win.
Good second sess by McPhee

Bet Ducati weren't figuring on Suzuki being fast. Looks like the Ducati lane is shut this year. Only really Yamaha that's got no top speed. If FQ doesn't get on the podium I think his head will go early on.
Marquez has already states he gives no fucks about getting injured or his eyesight. He'd probably go blind if it meant beating Rossi's title haul.

I think Meeks is right about Quartararo. I don't think he'll react well if he struggles. His stock has risen and it's mega-silly season this year so he won't care about corporate compliant behavior.

He has also invoked daft haircut theory with the bleach. Daft haircuts never get the job done. Look at FQ last year, pretty sensible. Not many on the grid taking chances with daft hair these days.
Look at Josh Brookes last year. That mullet destroyed his season.

Vinales will be on the boot list by season's end if this carries on.
Anyone actually missed Rossi so far? Don't think he's been mentioned during the practice sessions. I guess because he kind of went out on the downward slope there is no 'what if'.

They were talking about him with Pablo Nieto on DAZN. Sounds like he's pretty much in constant phone contact with the pit box!
Rossi will be missing this more than this is missing him though. It'll be interesting to see the vieweing figures though.
Bastianini impressive in FP3.
McPhee has found his mojo, Dixon is losing his, maybe they´ve only got one to share between them?

I havent a clue about who will win this one.
Yamahas are slow. Suzukis are fast, but will Rins bin it like he did so often last year. Ducati factory team being beaten in sessions by satellite teams, Martin and Bastianini. Zarco has been all over the place. Hondas are more rideable, but are they good enough to win, will Marquez be able to perform. Aprilia seems good for 4th/5th again, maybe podium. Is Mir's mum there? There could be some pit lane camera action as Mir could sneak through, I haven't heard them mention him much yet.
ps I forgot about KTM. Er, probably because they have shown much pace apart from B Binder 1st in FP1.

Foggia could have got on pole from a fast lap on his own, surely? Saskia did a fast lap at the start for 2nd.
Penalties for dodgy weaving at the end?

Wow!….interesting and surprising front row. I think this could be a cracker with Bag, Mir, Rins and Quart making a charge from 3rd and 4th rows.

Moto 2, Lowes was unlucky with the yellow flags. He did a couple of fast laps.

I wouldn't put it past Marquez to skittle everyone with a no backing down couple of early corners.
Really can't call this one at all. Even Binder (Brad that is) could win this one.

Moto3 penalties for Foggia, Suzuki and Guevara, for exiting pit lane and screwing up other riders on their hot laps in Q. Back of the grid & 1 long lap penalty.
Foggia gets an extra long lap penalty for another infringement.

Great win for Bastianini and the Gresini team.
