Portuguese MotoGP

[Yorick]

After all these off months, we've finally got some racing.
What I want to see is Fab Frog, MM and Maverick all in the top ten. Preferably 2 of them in top 6.
I don't want it to become the Ducati show.

I've set my alarm for FP1 at 9:00 in the morning.

[weeksy]

I think it'll be as mixed as we hope.... but not all sessions, not all races and not all season.

I still think the Ducatis will dominate this year. But Quat, Spag and Mav will have a few good days.

I don't think Marquez will though as the Honda is THAT bad...

[Skub]

The Ducati is now a well sorted bike,so it'll be their time in the sun until some of the others develop a bike anyone can challenge on.

On paper,the championship is Ducati's to lose,but racing throws up surprises and nothing is set in stone.

Fingers crossed it’s not pish and there’s some proper good battles, especially in the closing laps for the win.

According to replies to a tweet from Keith Heuwen asking the almost the same thing it’s the Dorna world feed commentary team on Friday practise this year. The full BT Sport crew will be yacking as usual on Saturday and Sunday

Give them their due, they seem to know their stuff.

Yup. I agree. Well spoken and knowledgeable.

[Yorick]

Shit. I hate Simon Crafar's voice.

TC didn't work for FM

It seems Alex Marquez isn't quite as crap as the Honda made him look

First part of plan working

Young Marquez and Mir the big surprises

Yes, he's been a bit of a revelation since the Honda shackles have been removed. Just imagine what Marquez the Elder could do on a Duc...

[G.P]

looking forward to FP2 as the the Top Ten qualify for Q2 - all change with the sprint race on Saturday.

Was good to See Jake a thwe top of the timing sheet in Moto2 as well.

[Yorick]

They're almost at lap record pace in first practice.

[Yorick]

Just thinking. The Marquez brothers have never been in a scrap for the lead before. Be interesting to watch if it happens this year

[weeksy]

Who'd have thought it.... Vinales to the top with 3 mins to go of FP2

Beaten 20s later by Jack Miller on the KTM !!!

[weeksy]

Hands up who put Miller in their fantasy team....Errrrrrrrm

Vinales I'm not entirely surprised by, but Miller? I was sure he'd be in the Q1 pool. Did not see that coming, at all.

I've got Vinales, but not Miller.
