Will we have winner No.9? Place your bets.....

I reckon Pedrosa will win this one again, VR and MM joining him on the podium.

JL has been successful at this track before and could win for a 3d time (I think he’s won twice already).

VR definitely on the podium as well.

I also want a JL VR spat to liven it up.

I would love to see Suzuki with MV take another win!

Was hoping that Hayden would be a bit quicker despite the break from MotoGP.

Honda's looked strong in practice, Cal having a good second session.

Lorenzo struggling with the front again it seems, was 14th for most of the session until eventually going up to 7th with his last lap.

If it's a 28 degrees and dry kinda race then I fancy Pedrosa. If the temp drops off like it looks like it could then Marquez or Rossi.

Would love a Suzuki win Rossi 2nd and Marquez fighting from the rear but not quite making good points.

Just repeating my self with anticipation.

Thunderstorms in Barcelona right now, been brewing and forecast for days. Forecast has actually got stronger recently, more days of this, so pretty certainly some wet racing I think

As the forecast is wet, my forecast (see what I did there!) is

Rossi
Cal
Vinales

MM93 to chuck it down the road
JL to have his usual meltdown and finish 16th

Someone that's not won this year, couple of big straights, possibly wet - I will risk (a virtual) £0.27 on Dovi.

I'll be dropping off the new to me (still slightly old (and tired according to dyno chap - grrr!)) bike off in Swindon on Sunday morning (after countless logisticals tomorrow to add to all the logistical stuff this week) so will have to tape it.
