I say 3rd best Honda for Zarco. He will only be in front of Crutchlow until he burns up his tires and fades a bit toward the end of the race. It will be the Ducs behind MM then the Llamahas.
Fabio 2nd. Miller first Duc - if he doesn't drop it. That's all I got (besides MM obviously winning it)
Historically, MM's journeys to down-undah in the premier class have been a coin-toss. 6 starts.......2 wins......4 DNFs (including a DQ for that Bridgestone bike swap fiasco in 2013).
Marquez with the win from pole. Dovi sucks at this track- probably not on the box. Cal will beat Zarco by at least 10 secs over race distance. Or both will crash. Miller may get 3rd.
Didn't you guys get the message? Lorenzo "found something" near the end of the Japanese GP... surely its podium time for Jorge. Jorge Lorenzo says he "found something" in the latter stages of Sunday's Japanese Grand Prix, which he described as his best MotoGP outing since his return from injury. https://us.motorsport.com/motogp/news/lorenzo-honda-motegi-improvement-japan/4560960/
I think this is FQ's best shot at claiming a win this year, but MM will either win or crash out trying to prevent it from happening. Man, I love the flyaway weekends. Nothing better (for us) than back to back to back racing!
FQ already had his best shot, along with everybody else. Now Marquez has nothing to lose except the boot he uses to stomp everybody.
