place your bets..... moto2... who going to clinch it?

MotoGP .......will Rossi finish ahead of Lorenzo again or has JL really given up?

Moto 2 - Luthi he's the man on form and he goes well in Malaysia. I think Zarco was keeping an eye on Rins and didn't think Luthi who's ghosted up on him.

It will probably rain, heavily.

I'm with you on Luthi. He seems to be the one to best at the moment, while a normally consistent Zarco has been waning a bit.

Rain won't bother me too much to be honest but have only seen rain once in the afternoon in the last week. For about 10 mins. Could be interesting if that is at the start of the race

I bet you got reasonable odds on that as well!

I think Zarco will hold on in Moto2, with 22 points he doesn't need anything too special regardless of what Luthi does.

I think Lorenzo is beat this season, what with leaving the team and Rossi all but guaranteed 2nd in the championship I can't see his motivation being that high.

I'm going with Marquez for this one.

Enjoy yourselves guys!

Vinales for the win. Rossi to kick him off on the cool down lap.

Fill your boots! It is pretty warm there so something skimpy might be a bit more comfortable.... They're pretty relaxed there - just don't wear speedos with the Malaysian flag emblazoned on the back!

Lol.. I have to say I love the Rossi/Marquez rivalry, as a neutral I think it adds a good dose of further excitement to the sport, Marquez can clearly rattle Rossi to an extent I don't remember anyone else doing, and Rossi's tried and tested mind games seem to have zero effect on MM.

On the flipside Rossi's riding superbly probably partly spurred on by having one of, if not the greatest challengers in his career to deal with. Win/win for the spectator as we're getting to see the very best of both of them and some added drama when it all comes to a head!

Still 3-0 to Marquez in terms of championships in the years they've been racing against each other says it all I guess :P

Stoner was the first to really take it to and beat Rossi, but in recent years Lorenzo and Marquez have both done it. Lorenzo has three titles too, although he was racing MotoGP when Rossi won his last two titles in 08 & 09.

Oh, don't say anything even slightly critical of Rossi again, you'll get crucified on here smile

Agreed, I just feel that Marquez has the edge mentally over the likes of Stoner & Lorenzo, which combined with ridiculous talent is a big issue for everyone else, especially Rossi, who probably would have had at least one more title to his name if it wasn't for Marc!

Haha yea I'm not surprised to hear that.. but I'm far from anti Rossi.. I just draw the line at celebrating one person when we're lucky to have so many hugely talented riders in our sport. Plus you can't ignore the facts, 7 years for a top drawer rider is a long time to go without a title. Next year on the face of it looks to be a good chance for Rossi, perhaps the best he's going to get, with Lorenzo & Vinales working out new bikes.

Anyway I'll stop now lol.

FP results look interesting.. did I see Zarco has knocked Sam off again.. oh dear!
