No point in even running that one. Just give it to MM and then race for first loser!

This may well be the last ever race at this circuit. Must watch!

Anyone thinking of betting against Marquez this weekend? Rossi has a ranch, Marquez has Sachsenring.
And before you ask, (or start a rain dance) its supposed to be sunny all weekend. I am hoping someone takes it to him.

Sounds like Pedrosa may be hanging it up after all.

Not sure which way to go on this. One more podium and bye bye concessions. On the other hand one more podium and all of the excuses go out the window. The Suzuki looks really good right now! Much more of this and they will need to go in search of a top level rider. Rins is doing great, dont get me wrong he just isnt on the same level as the top 5 or six guys right now (Assen notwithsanding).

From Mat Oxley on twitter.
"Lorenzo's Ducati has an even bigger gas-tank hump this weekend to move him even further back and he's fastest. By the time we get to Valencia he'll be hanging off the back of the seat hump"!

Nope just sucks

Good for the German crowd to have a local boy out there in Stefan Bradl - Franco's hand injury needs more time to fix.

Frigging Marquez, again!
Petrucci ought to buy Lorenzo a beer for that tow!

And you think Rossi sucks? (back at ya, Lol)

The real question is how far will Marquez go to protect that 8 year streak at Sachsenring VS how much reservation will he show in protecting his monumental lead in the championship. The others will surely be trying to get in front of him early on, especially after Assen. Let him get out front and dictate and it is all over. I can see Lorenzo leading for the first lap or maybe even several laps, but the Ducati seems to have a propensity to chew up the edges in a hurry and on a track with a premium on left side edge grip thats a tough call. It could get hot though and we saw in Mugello haw that can change everything. Going to be a good one I think.
