I'm not so sure you guys are looking at the Puig/Marquez situation correctly. He has no reason to force Marquez out. His job is secure as long as Honda keeps winning championships. The only guy that can do that is Marky Marc. If he "forces" Marquez out HRC will not be keeping him around. It may be a situation he doesn't find ideal, but I don't see it changing.
The idea that anyone inside HRC (Puig or otherwise) would move to force Marc out is pretty damn funny. He's the best rider on the grid, a fantastic brand sponsor with a ton of charisma, and young/Spanish. Trifecta. As far as what Puig said, the translation sucks.
The boys in blue are looking pretty strong for the weekend through FP1/2. Praying for some good racing up front.
Yammies 4 out of top 5 spots is looking good but Marky mark never goes for a fast lap on Friday’s, just uses the old tires to get a feel for the race pace.
The end of the work week? The day for Cal to proclaim he has the pace to win? The day Mongo eats pecan pie?
From trackside it looks like a four man race. Marquez Vinales Quatararo Rins Seem to have the others covered quite easily. I know Rossi is a Sunday man, but it looks like all the rest are racing for 5th.
