Could be a weather lottery but I've not seen the forecast. Really not sure with this one. It's sort of one of those tracks where things don't go as you'd expect

Forecast is 25C with thunderstorms and scattered showers so should be "interesting"..

Bagnaia is on top form so it's difficult to see past him for a double podium, even a double win. The other Ducatis just seem to be a bit of a lottery. Could be any one of them up there on the podium with him (except Morbidelli of course).
I'll go for Martin, Bastianini, and MM to share the other 2 places over both races.
No Japanese bikes will podium, even if it rains.
Since they started with the sprint races, has there been any race weekend where all 6 podium places were Ducatis? If not this weekend will be it.

Weather looks amazing at the moment.
Dixon fast in moto2 but I don't think he'll win.

Answering my own question: We have already had a full double podium Ducati lockout ot least once. In the Italian round 2023 the sprint podium was FB, MB, JM and the Sunday race FB, JM, JZ. |

That was some start by MM in the Sprint!….13th to 6th by T2, then up to 4th…what a ride, albeit benefiting from Bez crashing and Esp double long lap pen….JM controlled it from the front.

Ducati to the power of 6 it was then.... It does seem to be getting a bit too predictable (except race direction decisions to penalise or not, that is anything but predictable!)
Muñoz seemed to have gone a bit crazy in Moto 3, good race though.
More surprising was the Moto 2 was interesting! Canet did a great job and I was really pleased to see Roberts riding like a Spaniard!
Not sure what happened to Dixon though... he needs a good ssecond half of the season for sure.
Still, he has the opportunity to get a point on the board before Masia does, given that thankfully the twat still hasn't scraped a single point in Moto 2. (Normally I wouldn't celebrate someone's lack of perfromance to such a degree, but I think its important to remember what a cok he was in Moto 3 to get the championship title).

Moto3. Alonso, just sits there and ponces. Smart rider. Muñoz is a arse, obviously goes bowling with Alcoba
M2, Last end of the race was really good
Mgp, Its good, but not really feeling it For some reason. Ducati cup with a sprinkle of Aprilia or KTM. The Japanese Mfg need to step up.

Enjoyed both sets of MotoGP races. Marquez seems to have got his lust for life back which is nice to see after 4 years of shit. I still he would have won on the 24 bike.
If Ducati had the wiggle room I'd sack Bagnaia off....odd move but I just think he's boring. Even my wife said he's dull as dishwater.
Moto2. At least Wonderboy didn't win. Decent battle but not for the win. Dixon has returned to all mouth and no trousers mode.
Moto3. Alonso is good.
Gavin Emmett needs to stop saying Pedro Acosta.

Martin deserves the Factory seat….so far…long way to go though. MM could’ve won had he not qualified p13, and he’s on the ‘23 bike. I’d love to see him on the Factory bike, there’s supposed to be an announcement before the summer break. Love him of loathe him, MotoGP would be a lot less exciting without him at the sharp end…. |

BTW, see that Aleix Moanaspargaro is moaning again about a rider trying to pass him when he has the door wide open.

ALeix has gone off the boil. The project needs an Acosta type on it.

That was as good a collection of races as you get over a weekend.
