Sweet.... yea I meant to remind Fox Sports 1 ch 219 on my TV pre race 7:30 race 8-9 on Saturday this week not Sunday

Rounding out the top 10:

Rossi
A Espargaro
Marquez
Pedrosa
P Espargaro
Iannone
Crutchlow
Lorenzo
Vinales
Dovizioso

Should be a good race. It will be interesting to see if Aleix Espargaro will have a race pace to mirror his qualifying time. He may not be on the front row but Lorenzo will be the one to watch I think.

[the Ferret]

Lorenzo is not that good lately at knifing thru the pack. Of course Rossi is a terrible starter. Watch for Marquez and Pedrosa to dominate this one.

I hope you're right, but Honda's woes are far from over. They are stuck with difficult engine for the rest of the year. Marc Is using the 2014 frame which is less precise but more forgiving than the 2015 frame. Meanwhile the Yamaha platform is running on all cylinders. If Rosso gets a decent start from pole, he should have good pace and tires for the entire race.

I hope Rossi wins actually as I don't think either Honda rider has a chance at the title and I'd like to see Rossi get his 10th

It would be a delight to see the old man get his tenth. Another former Motogp rider is making his reappearance in WSB, Max Biaggi is in his mid 40's I think and did quite well in his comeback ride last weekend on an Aprilia.

Even though I love my CB, I want Yamaha and Rossi as well. He is easy to root for.

I love the irony of most of us referring to Valentino as 'the old man'.
