I'm just hoping Spies can redeem himself. Looking good in practice so far.

[black hills]

At least Rossi is consistent..

My prediction: The race will be interesting from 4th place on back.

My prediction: The race will be interesting from 4th place on back.

Instead of pushing for CRTs Dorna should ban Lorenzo , Pedrosa and Stoner . The end result would be fantastic , very competitive racing .

It does not matter where he qualifies at, he will probaly end up 8th.  He needs to find his form and start pushing that Yamaha around. I hope he does well.

Or just have a race series between the 3?

If the weather forecast holds and we get dry practice and qualifying followed by a very wet race, then Sunday could be very interesting. And unpredictable.

A Spaniard must win.  I'll put my money on the 99 bike.

[Kneescrubber]

Stoner on pole. Spies leading row 2. Fingers crossed. With Pedrobot right next to him I'd expect Pedrosa to be leading or fighting for the lead into turn 1.

Last year Catalunya was where he started contending. Hopefully the same holds true this year.

No love.

Ben Spies 

Indeed. 

Favourite part of the race for me was Dovi's crew decked out in Monster Energy Drink gear getting busted pouring water into his Monster energy drink can 

[tomek]

No love.

yea , cause that wuz very difficult to predict , like weather in Phoenix in July .

Petrobot weights something like couple of pounds and he almost always beats everyone to the first corner .

Anyway , I want you to predict  winning    lotto  numbers for me .  

[Ralf]

Once again, Moto2 was the more interesting race. I'm sure Espargaro was thrilled with his encounter with Marquez, although it looked like a pure racing incident to me.

[crashtech]

No love.

LMAO .......I jumped off the couch excited when I saw him next to Pedro in the first turn.....Followed by a quick sit down soon after when he binned it in the grass......Moto2 was great......

[Tyrroneous]

Once again, Moto2 was the more interesting race. I'm sure Espargaro was thrilled with his encounter with Marquez, although it looked like a pure racing incident to me.

My feeling is that is was a racing incident only.  Considering that Marquez had just saved himself from what was surely to be a lowside, I don't think he would intentionally hit someone that hard.  Espargaro was gutted though.  The feed I watched showed him balling his eyes out in the garage.
