Last year SPR;
Martin
Bags
Miller
Main event;
Martin
Bags
Zarco
I think we can discount Miller and Zarco from any possible podiums this year. I think FB, JM, MM and maybe EB (if he can qualify better). Acosta won in M2, he's sure to be up there too.

Apparently this is Acosta's last chance to become the youngest ever winner of a MotoGP race. TBH, I think that there is too much pressure being put on him to achieve this. If he can get the Ducati dialled in, this will be MM's best chance of a win this season. Although expectation were high, I think that COTA was too soon into his Ducati career for a win. |

Can't see PA winning but top 5. I'd like to see MM get a win, it's one of the tracks he used to dominate on the Honda. PB riding so well atm though, looked like he was hardly trying at Assen, hard to bet against him. He reminded me of peak Lorenzo, super smooth. |

Damn, Martin got those cheap watch vibes. Bro fell apart.
That was some ride from Marquez. I really am convinced if he was on the 24 bike he'd be challenging for the title.
Acosta hype seems to have cooled off a bit.
Good ride by Dixon. Ogura doing what was needed.
Alonso looking like a future MotoGP prospect

Alonso winning might be boring, but at least he will never be the c+nt that Masia was to become last year's "champion".
Moto 2 was a great race, hat off to Roberts, those points coud be valuable, although his MotoGP ride is virtually assured by now anyway.
Surprises in MotoGP for sure.
Lots of talk about Marc being a potential winner on the 24 bike, yeah ok, but wouldn't he have won on an Aprilia or even a KTM according to most?

Who else is performing as well on the same bike and how long have they been on a Ducati?...this is half a season in for MM, he's 3rd and top non-Factory Ducati. |

Aleix and Batmav have won on the Aprilia so I'd be happy to bet on Marquez getting a win on it. Aleix isn't an alien.
The KTM is a different thing and I'm not convinced it's a winning machine quite yet. It's certainly better than a Honda but like the Honda, maybe Acosta made it look a bit better than it is. I also reckon Acosta would win on a 24 Ducati.
Actually where does anyone think Jorge Martin would be if he was on the 23 Ducati right now?
