Weather is looking good for the weekend, and if it stays that way I think Lorenzo will walk away with it. Big question mark for the weekend will be how the Michelins cope..... 1. Lorenzo 2. Marquez 3. Rossi 4. Dovi 5. Pedrosa 6. Vinales
In a dry race; Yamaha 1-2 (Order TBD after FP1 and 2) Marquez Weather looks good, but there are some storms brewing over the days following the race. It would make things extra interesting if those storms arrived a day or two early.
I have a feeling this is exactly how it will go down: 29 takes out 04, 04's bike goes tumbling down and takes 46 down, 46 gets up and in the moment picks up 04's bike to finish and win the race, 99 finds out that indeed his future machine is capable of winning and podiums 2nd with a grin on his face, 93 looks uncomfortable on the podium in 3rd and suspects he may have gotten a winglet splinter where the sun don't shine but he won't know for sure until the leathers come off.
Iannone to win, just to muddy the waters that much more over in Duck land. Maverick 2nd, locking him into the 1 year extension clause on his contract with Suzuki. Mandating Yamaha has to buy him out of his contract to get him next year. Hey, if your going to dream, dream big.
