Michelin® Australian Motorcycle Grand Prix 20 Oct - 22 Oct

What I would give to do a trackday at PI; it's on my lottery money bucket list, along with Laguna Seca and Suzuka.

I'm also a lover of Phillip Island. I expect great racing.

It would certainly make things interesting from a Yamaha politics point of view. It's a big ask though and, as you say and all things being equal, it would take at least 1x DNF from Rossi for this to happen. Would Yamaha care if JZ (if you say that in Americanese, it make Zarco sound like two bit rapper) finished ahead of VR?

16 riders within 1 sec.

Esparagus going well.
