Top marks Phil, for your use of the subjunctive.
I hope Scott is back to form as predicted, wouldn't be bad to have a Toprak victory either.

I wouldn't be surprised to see 2 ducatis appearing on the podium in all 3 races.

Doesn't Chaz have pretty good form there too? Also that back straight is pretty long and should favour the Ducati.

Sorry about that, Herr Clipper, I didn't pick up on it because, as you said Rinaldi has been pretty schnell too.
What's the top end of the Yam's like at the moment? Can they out drag the Kwak at Aragon I wonder?

Well that was an odd FP1!
Davies and Rinaldi in 1st and 2nd with Scott in 11th and Baz as top Yam with Toprak in 13th??
WTF?

Things didnt change vastly after FP2 either. Its all reasonably close time wise.
WSS running to season form, Locatelli clearly fastest.

Not sure Redding has crushing pace this time. I can see Lowes playing skittles though. I think him and Davies need to play wingman early on with short season. Neither as going to win the title so may as well backup their main men.

Excellent, FP3, Rea, Baz and vd Mark to the fore for a bit of variety.

Redding pulled it out of the bag to get on the front row. Not sure about his race pace though...
If Rea extends his points lead here, where will Ducati be stronger?

Its looking like a similar situation to leading a race in the wet before the red flag comes out (before flag to flag). I dont think any of the bike race championships will run full course due to covid. You want to be leading the championship after each round.

Well I right about Lowes. He was lucky he didn't end up toast there.
That Greg Haynes in Eurosport is a total bellend. He needs to get Rea's cock out of his mouth. Yeah Rea is on bicycle and big, bad Redding is on a turbo busa.

Advantage Redding. Rea was pushing hard just to keep up. I think Davies needs more 2nds tomorrow races to keep his seat there. A good ride today, but needs a lightening start in the sprint.
