CATTTTTTTalunya...... MotoGP weekend is once again upon us.

[weeksy]

After the craziness of Mugello qualifiying, but a somewhat semi-normal result for most....

What will Catalunya bring then.

As long as he doesn't start stripping off again it's difficult to see beyond Fab.

Aside from Miller,I can't see any of those bothering the podium this year.

1 Miguel Oliveira
2 Johann Zarco
3 Jack Miller
4 Joan Mir

Zarco is 5th in the standings. Not too shabby.

Zarco is 5th in the standings. Not too shabby.

He's as fast as fook,but there always seems to be a little something stopping him being consistent. He's as capable of winning as he is crashing out. A hard man to bet on.

Don't forget that 2nd to 4th were all promoted places because of Fab finishing with his leathers unzipped and no chest protector in.

Looking forward to seeing this,

Would like to see a Fabio win, or maybe a miller as goodbye on his way to KTM.

Morbidelli and Vinales surprising

Morbidelli and Vinales surprising

So pleased to see Frankie up there.

There's a lot of chat about the lack of grip and that it will be the riders who keep their wheels in line that will go well - and that's very much the style of those two.

Interesting to see Yamaha not changing tyres either but running them for 20+ laps so that they've got data for how the bikes go on worn tyres during the race.

Wow, didn't realise that.

Mir has never had a GP pole, only ever had 1 front row start and only won 1 race !

World champ though.

He and Aprilia are really flying this season. It's epic to see considering where they were even just 18 months ago.

[Skub]

Fabio looking like he'll save the day for Yamaha again,though Morbidelli is looking more racy than he has in over a year.

[weeksy]

Brits going well in moto2.

Morning warm up in GP is a bit of a lottery though as always with people looking for different things.

I'm still going with Spag.

[ChrisW]

You jinxed him!

[weeksy]

Awesome from the 16 yeah old in moto3. Good racing, sadly split a bit by crashes

[Yorick]

Go Jake
