Great qualifying.

Dovi has a lot of work to do.

Zarco and Rossi should swap seats. ;)

Crashlow crashed again

Really glad for Jack on 2nd row in home GP.

KTM means business. So great to see both bikes in Q2

Disappointing ride by Lorenzo. The Ducs don't seem to like it here.

Vinales mustache is dirty.

Phillip Island is beautiful.

No real predictions for the race. Field is so mixed up I have no idea what's going to happen. Money would be on Marc, but anything can happen.
 
MM Looks very strong here in Phillip Island. He has to play it smart cuz too many fast riders up there. Hope Andrea Dovizioso finds a better set up in Warm up before the race. All will be decided depending in Weather and tire strategy 27 long laps of pure Tire management. My money is on MM for the Championship my DNA is with AD. Maverick and Zarco are very comfortable too. Aleix Spargaro on Aprilia with the new tires for this track is very impressive.

Congrats to Marc, ridiculously quick as always.
Great final lap fight for 2nd and 3rd between Rossi, Vinales and Zarco.
Horrible race by Dovi, making one mistake at the beginning, and at the final corner getting overtaken by 2 riders to finish 13th!
He pretty much just lost his chance for the championship imo, with Vinales now having a chance for second place in the championship.

Yup. Dovi just took all the wind out of my sails. Great for Marc but buzz kill for the championship.

Marc needs a DNF in Malaysia for Valencia to be a decider.

Podium booing is exactly why I struggle with Rossi's fanatics.

You don't have to be a "Rossi Fanatic" to boo MM, he totally disrespected the championship and its fans, supporters/sponsers, his team mate and Honda in 2015. He did this out of personal vindictiveness and spite. This is the other side of having technically brilliant, highly skilled youngsters come in at the highest level of any sport. They lack any kind of maturity, respect or appreciation for the solemnness and responsibility of the sport, it's history and traditions.
 
MM has a reason to believe that Rossi caused him to crash on a few races, just like how Rossi believes that MM and Lorenzo conspired to take the title away from him.

Like what most riders say, they race their own race. Some people say leave the championship runners alone, but some just ride their own race. Pedrosa didn’t care when he beat Rossi on the same season, and neither did Ianone, and no one said much about those races but seem to just focus on the ones with MM instead.

Rossi had his chances. He wasn’t going to get one from MM.

as dandy don meridith use to say (that was when football was good on monday night to the foreigners on here) melody "turn out the lights the partys over"

a few things on the race from my perspective.
1 i cant believe how marquez actually mixed it up with the others when he didnt need to. i thought he was going to crash.
2 zarco is either brilliant or reckless i cant figure it out.
3 i didnt want iaonne near anybody at the front as i can see him taking everyone out at anytime.
4 rossi was very entertaining in the press conference.
5 that noise you year is the fat lady singing.

i told you guys in the beginning of the year marquez was winning the title AND I doubled down when he was way behind and i tripled down when he was close enough in points when he said just be close till spain.

ill be back to celebrate after sepang then i wont be back till the start of the 18 season.

cue 2018 seasaon at qatar Rossi is Back. I am guessing the Valeban will regroup by then. who is going to Austin ?
