What’s up with the Tech Yamaha’s? They’re falling away (beaten by the Aprilia?) while the factory boys are on top.
Smith still seems to be recovering from that knee injury…
Curious to see if Zarco will be any good on the bike next year. And Folger? Really?
who is riding pedrosa’s bike? where is hayden?
Nicky is in Qatar… (And doing quite well)
Aoyama is on the Repsol. For what it’s worth.
thank you for the info.
Hayden’s back to work at WSB. I am still wondering if he wore a pair of Repsol leathers at Phillip Island
I’d really like to see Dovizioso win a race.
He’s due.
You didn’t call it, but close enough 🙂
Lol. I’ll take what I can get!
