I don't care who finishes where, just as long as we get the same kind of battles to the line we got last season, where the combined 1-2 finishing gaps across ALL 3 classes was less than a tenth of a second...... However, I do think that Vinales will try to pull the pin early and see if he can't gap the field. I don't think he'll want to be "in the shit" with so many other riders battling to stay in touch. Also, I really feel sorry for the guy who might find himself ahead of Rossi in the last few laps........he will be looking for redemption for sure.
Eh, we'll see how much fight Il Doctoré has in him after getting beat up by a dirty bike. I don't suspect he'll try and push into defcon plaid territory.
He's just fine. The "injuries" are part of the storyline for the next chapter of the Book That Hasn't Come out in a Long Time. He will win the race on Sunday and his flock will declare it the greatest feat in MotoGP history. Marquez 2nd Maverick 3rd
I really do hope so. It seems as though they were pretty decent friends(at least as much as he and anyone besides Edwards can be), and it would be nice for Val to honor him properly.
I'm gonna guess he's a bit beat up and feeling his 38 years, thusly not having a stellar weekend, but I'll still pick him anyways.
I hope MotoGP does right by Nicky. Rossi & Mav in first & second Pedrosa in 3rd. Crazy English Puta takes out Traitor Puta in turn 7 on lap 9. From "Dear George"
Zarco on the podium. Marquez off. Rossi doesn't repeat his French SNAFU. Bautista needs some bodywork replaced and Crutchlow remains the greatest British rider since Bazza.
Saw something saying they were gonna bring some of Nicky's GP bikes out for display. Can't remember where I saw it but should be cool.
