Well my Foxtel iQ gets a big workout this weekend with both these events on. Fortunately in different hemispheres if I'm in insomniac mode but if I need the sleep not a problem to record and watch at my leisure. At Aragon it looks all good for both Rea and Sykes on the Kwakas but I'm hoping that VDM and his Honda will provide a big challenge and keep in the points game. That young lad can sure ride. At the Termas de Río Hondo a man would have to have his money on Lorenzo, but if he doesn't get an early lead then he looses control of the race and it is game on. The Ducatis have the grunt but MM's got the talent, and a Honda. Go MM. I don't even want to think about #46, he is not a favourite of mine but he still has got the remains of his undoubted talent, immense experience and enough bastardry so he is a real threat (especially if someone tries to go outside him 
). However on the other hand, #43, Jack Miller, has got a Honda (of sorts) and he is an Aussie with some talent so he just has to have my best wishes riding with him.
Interesting that, with Hayden gone to WSBK, for the first time in forty odd years there is no American rider in the top class. There has been a real changing of the guard and the glory days of both Australian and US champions battling it out have long gone. There has got to be something wrong at the grass roots level. In OZ, our local events have been plagued by financial and management woes plus competition from many other sports. The international events get a lot of attention but not so the local.
Cheers.
