What does everyone think then?

So called Ducati track but Marquez hard to bet against. Be good if Dovi could start clawing back some points to make it more interesting. Has Pedrosa given up now?

Also interested what Scott Redding will be doing next year? Must be tough to have to think about being a test rider so young.

Redding wil be lucky to have any sort of ride next year......
Haslam will be JR65;s oppo next year

Austria is a Duke track but dont bet against 93, especially with iffy weather

Fixed it for you wink

Saw something saying Yamaha have apologised to Rossi and Vinales about the bike. Interesting to say the least. Scott will end up in BSB or no ride at all if you ask me. As for the race, hoping for something similar to last week with Marc and the two dukes smile

There was an interview on BT Sport with Redding earlier, he said he won’t be going to bsb next year. Concerned about safety issues?

Not sure about Rossi. I’m not convinced they’ll be able to give him a championship winning bike before he retires.

I reckon Pedrosa will pull a couple more good results in when they get to tracks which more suit the Honda. But for this next race come on Ducati!

McPhee making up places, I wonder how far he can get. He's signed for SIC Honda next year, good team with Moto2 and now MotoGP teams but I can't help but think he's moving from a KTM just as it's improved and faster than the Honda, but next year I suppose it could change again.

Well he got up to 7th until I think being nerfed off by Di Giannantonio on the last corner dropping them both back to 11th and 12th.

Cracking attempt by McPhee, shame about the last corner, but he should be pleased with that

Martin did extremely well considering

Some great riding so far, proper respect between Olive and Peco, that was a great fight.

Too much smoke blown up MArtins arse, he looked fine really, less smoke blown about Bezzechi who blew him away on the last lap. Great ride too by McPhee

Predictable garb age from Lowes after a couple of good rides.

What a loss for Ducati, they should have listened to JL instead of being full of themselves...

Kudos to VR46, still made 6th place on a bike that is clearly inferior to Ducati and Honda.

Cannot recall him not smiling smile should be interesting next season when they are team mates, Ducati must be feeling gutted now JL is doing so well.

after the race comments, he was and he said he had a lot of fun and it felt he was dead honest

I am a big Rossi fan, it's a pity Yamaha will not be able to compete this year.
I expect JL to take second place in the championship and if Rossi keeps the 3rd that would be an achievement given the situation with the Yamaha.
