Surprised not to find a thread running already

Rather dodgy quali for all title hopefuls!! Tomorrow's gonna be interesting!

It's Pecco's to lose really but if anybody is going to lose it it's him!

I watched FP4 and qualifying and it was pretty entertaining. Martin smashed the lap record. Masterful strategizing by Ducati in Q1 which all came undone via the slowest ever highside. Marquez pulling something from nothing. Tow shenanigans. Heaps of stacks on turn 8. I'll have to watch FP3 as I hear that had a bit of drama too.

Lots of rain around today and forcast tomorrow is bad. I left KlL today to ride South 4 hour ride, took 0ver 5, decided to ride today because of rain forcast tomorrow is very bad.

Nice to see Marcs response to being asked where his front row lap was the same as everyone else: no idea! Martin pulling nearly half a second on the next Duc was awesome, Marc pulling the same amount on his Q1 time, and nearly a second on the next Honda, without a tow.... two great laps to watch.

Rins looking confident too, which is good. Bestia mathematically could still win the championship; the main three contenders all left time out there, hope Fabios finger doesn't affect him tomorrow.

It's Bagnaia's to lose with a 14 point advantage over FB, squeaky bum time for him tomorrow after the crashes he's already had.

Fair play to pecco, kept his cool. Don't think the beast was using his head so much as.he just couldn't make the pass.

Fabio did as much as he could've done, pace was actually strong but just lost too much at the start.

Pecco has 1 hand and 4 fingers on the championship, but it ain't over till it's over.

Amazing! Really enjoyed 3 smile

Ach Ogura, oh well. Still to play for.

Pecco & Fabio couldn't have done any more, really. Bestia was beaten today.

and another podium for Jake.

I think Ducati did a good job for racing there, no orders issued to Gresini let the riders sort it out.

The drama was the Ducati palpitations in the pit lane!

Good job there was no flapping when we won the Euros.

Enjoyed the last few laps, my 4 year old girl is a big Bastnini fan so wasn't too happy (he has pink on his bike). Pity Fab didn't get close enough to really mix it up !!
