he's gonna take it veeeeeeeeery eeeeeeeeasy

 

That one does not have the MotoAmerica races and practices listed. It also needed the corrections that I noted, if you had bothered to read it.

 

I got $100 on Marc for a top 5.

 

I will.

I think he is going to find himself in deep water at this and every round this season. He is surrounded by riders who can win, and have the equipment to do so. They all know he is not the same rider from 3 years ago, and IMHO the Honda is now maybe the fourth best bike on the grid.

While I would love to see him battling at CotA, I think it is going to be a very difficult weekend.

 

I’ll have to wait and see what the Michelin front tire situation is before I put any faith into a Honda winning this weekend.

 

in terms of predictions I think they will still bitch about the surface and I got Rins to crash (he seems due)

 

Heavy crash 1st practice session. Out for the weekend.

 

I have not heard anything about how the resurface held up to the Nascrap race at the end of March. Hopefully it did not get all fucked up again.

 

Just heard Greg White say on his podcast that the Nascar guys said it's still bumpy.

 

who watches MA ?

 

i still trying to imagine running into him sitting by himself in an airport lol. last flight i got on had OJ sitting near the front - i didnt even notice him, but i would notice marquez lol.

 

On the one hand I think Marc's affinity with the COTA layout should help him to have more mental margin than usual. On the other hand, everyone will be adjusting to the grip level the new pavement sections so that may take away from his advantage.

 

I "see" what you did there. Too bad he meant to indicate he is "number 1" - sorry, a couple of double vision dad jokes there. I do wish MM93 the best, he is awesome to watch and I am a fan.

 

I am absolutely amazed that he is racing... I don’t think he should but hopefully he doesn’t hurt himself again...

But like Marco... maybe this “5 min” on the bike is more than a lifetime... I get it and understand the mentality but unfortunately age and experience has allowed me to see too much damage

Enough negativity...

Here’s to a kick ass safe super competitive weekend for all!

 

friend of mine races Grid life and said the new pavement has lots of grip but still has bumps

 

I give it FP2 then out...
