Hi All
Seems they've just confirmed it's gonna be a wet race tomorrow and that's if it goes ahead with possible storms etc. I'm kinda thinking qually is going to stand for nothing, more a war of attrition on such a fast track and the power bikes will have most problems. No data on the best wet weather bike / rider combo so early in the season either, predictions anybody?

Should be interesting
Been out on my bike today and watched the qualifying in a local bikers cafe. Rain will mean a completely different story. Ducati for out and out power on the straights and slower corner speeds maybe due to the rain?
Down to the rider if it pours for me, let's hope it's a classic
Cruthlow up there again too

Agree.
Agree.
Happy it wasn't a wet race
If Marquez keeps that up it's gonna be a pretty pedestrian championship this year.
Can't see the jump start at all

Works Honda is a far superior allround bike imho. Ducati, straight line power. Put MM on a Yamaha he would struggle for a top 3. But that's racing for you, man and bike 
I watch the WSB, Batista on the new V4 has won the first 9 races, revs to over 16,5000 rpm!!!. He's had 12 second plus leads, unbelievable. Chaz Davis, mistake after mistake running wide, straight line power pulls him back up there with the leaders, crazy!

Was nice to see Marquez bin it then five minutes later Lorenzo 👍
Cracking race from Dovi.
Marquez looks untouchable,
I still think Rossi should of stayed with Honda especially with the rc45 he had at the time.

That was my point earlier, could have probably won everything

Rossi wanted to prove it wasn't just the bike which he did with yamaha but then failed with ducati. The rossi fan base will never agree but MM is the most talented rider ever in moto gp.
Would love to see him try the classiest bike on the grid.

Stoner couldn't ride the Ducati in the end and get the results, enter Rossi, he couldn't either, crap bike the Ducati in those years, terrible chassis and handling
MM is a great rider no doubt, he is also a wild card and had more warnings than anybody around, like his smash in the 250 class when he ran into the back of a bike that was virtually stood. That's when he ****ed his eye sight up from the impact, nearly ended his career
He's on the factory Honda, one hell of a bike, the best! And that's the test for MM, step away, but why should he?
Watch hitting the Apex. Great watch for any Moto GP fans, great stories of all their progressions, lot of truths
Just the Simoncelli incident, terrible
Rossi left Yamaha because they wanted him to be the number 2 rider and mentor
Hope this works a must watch
