So JL gives up a win at PI and MM or AD crashes out of the next round .... Hypothetically speaking


What was the point of giving up the win ????? Let him run his race I agree with him 100% , I hate team orders which is part of the reason I love BAZ

 

JL's only crime would be to finish between Mark ahead and Dovi right behind.

IMHO, he can win all he wants (if he can)....

 

If JL takes the lead and remains in the lead until the checkered, why the hell should he slow down and let his teammate pass? This somehow makes him an asshole?

 

Not at all. He was already an asshole.

 

MM93: Crashed out in '16, Won in '15 , '14 Huge lead and crashed, '13 was the 10 lap fiassco

So if he stays upright, he should win. Win it or bin it!

 

That mashup deserves an extra 's'.

 

an

 

I don't foresee this being an issue...

 

plus a 'd' for doof.

 

I agree Marquez will win it or bin it. For some reason I don't think Dovi will win this one. Unless it rains of course but I'm thinking if it's dry there will be a Yamaha up front for the win. I'd like to say vinales but man that kids mental state is weak! I want to see Marquez toy with him just to see him throw another hissyfit.

 

I'm betting Dovi finishes ahead of JLo the rest of the year without his help.

Weather.com says 59 degrees with possible showers. I hope it pours!

If that happens, will Dani give up his win in Sepang?

 

Dovi has some serious momentum going and the Ducati goes well here, so I'm going to give him the nod wet or dry. He's got to capitalize at PI and Sepang and he knows it.

Marquez has to start riding more cautiously at this point in the season, and he's not very good at that. He'll be aware of the fact that he almost threw away the championship with a few corners to go at Motegi.

If the Goldilocks M1's get the weather to agree with them, Rossi and Vinales can be competitive too. That would make things the most interesting, but I won't hold my breath for it. I'm thinking Zarco will be top Yamaha after punting someone off track.

 

this is always an exciting event.

Dovi

Marquez DNF

 

JLO passes Dovi for the win.

 

I forgot earlier.

Cal, in the dirt, somewhere near lap 8

 

Okay but who crashes first..... Crutchlow or Bautista?

 

That's like tying a piece of buttered toast (buttered side out) to a cat.
Buttered side always hits the ground.
Cat always lands on its feet...



Separate incidents, same timing is my best guess...
