Any predictions?

D'ya reckon Kent's going to clinch it?
Lowes was going well in free practice!
Dunno what's going on in the Blue Riband class everyone was going fast!
There is the possibility of inclement weather on Sunday which may spice things up a bit, a lot or not at all.
I reckon the Hondas are going to go well, if it stays dry!
Hopefully Rossi can just follow Lorenzo home for the points.

Rossi seems happy with his race pace, as usual he can't put down a marker with a fast lap for qualifying.
Multiple sources seem to suggest Rossi is sand bagging this weekend, we'll see.

This is interesting, i hope Lorenzo tries it on. In a dog fight Rossi will come out on top and isn't afraid of swapping paint if challenged.

9 44 Pol ESPARGARO SPA Monster Yamaha Tech 3 Yamaha 339.5 1'29.222 0.858 / 0.207
10 4 Andrea DOVIZIOSO ITA Ducati Team Ducati 347.1 1'29.267 0.903 / 0.045
11 45 Scott REDDING GBR EG 0,0 Marc VDS Honda 337.6 1'29.499 1.135 / 0.232
12 38 Bradley SMITH GBR Monster Yamaha Tech 3 Yamaha 336.7 1'29.626 1.262 / 0.127

Looks like Rossi has a bit of a job on. His race pace will be good, will have to hope Lorenzo does his tyres in or gets caught up with Marquez and Iannone.

Marquez has this race in the bag assuming he stays on. Conditions for tomorrow, dry but a couple of degrees cooler than today.

Last years grid at Phillip Island:-

Marquez on pole.
Lorenzo 3rd.
Rossi 8th.

Deja vu?

Guess who won! Mr. Green

Moto3 about to start so I'll stay up for it.

Big bikes? Depends. Is Marquez fully fit? Will the tyres get a shredding? Dani popped up with some cracking times and must be feeling buoyant after last week.
#99 is pissed off with #46. A pissed Lorenzo is usually a fast one.

It'll be another pointer as to whether Rossi can scrawp a 10th championship. Should be good. C'mon the Goat.

Best race in a long time and that is high praise considering how good some of the last few have been. Next week should be interesting.

I downloaded a non BT sport torrent to watch this and the commentators were even worse than on BT. Every other sentence did not make sense or was just plain the opposite of what was happening on the screen. Not sure if all MotoGP commentators are senile or there just isn't anyone else for the job.

Now an EX-bird!

Definitely race of the season!
Going to be really interesting now, especially if Marquez has found the mojo button on his Honda again!

Moto3 even more bonkers than usual! Shocked

Agreed, it looks amazing, riders love it, the backdrop is spectacular and it produces great racing. When I win the Euromillions I'm flying out there and taking a Poonigale around there fo shizzle. You can come too.

Rossi has the most wins at Speang and goes well there. If its rains at all, I think that'll be the title wrapped up. If its dry next week, which it often isn't in Malaysia, I reckon JLo won't be far behind, and then will go on and obliterate everyone in Valencia like he did in 2013.
