He will be in the lead at some point, but will crash trying to hard for the home track win. Much like the issues VdM had at Assen. Mav is back to the #1 spot.
Rossi and Maverick no longer friendly after this weekend. Rossi wins, Mav second, Zarco third Edit: Zarco roughs up Marquez on his way to third
I sincerely hope Zarco podiums. He's been outstanding so far. Either he gets on the rostrum or does something spectacularly dumb, like taking out a factory rider to see his pet rock collection.
Could you just imagine that place if Zarco wins? Hell, just gets a podium? I think Vinales is going to get back into his groove here, but honestly I just want some good on-track battles. 1. Vinales 2. Marquez 3. Zarco 4. Rossi 5. Pedrosa
Zarco admitted last year the nerves got to him in regards to his relative poor performance in the race...
I don't know if Zarco can win or not but I am definitely putting a couple of coins on him when the betting opens.
