Rossi's injury is BS if he's doing this.

Vision of Rossi arriving at the circuit this morning.

There will be no Jonas Folger this weekend and maybe for all three fly away rounds as he has been suffering extreme lethargy and has been diagnosed with Epstein Barr Virus.

Is it due to rain on race day too ??

Dunno but everything is coming up Marquez at the moment. Has mostly dominated in Japan so far. He'll start third after a wet Q2 behind Zarco and Petrucci and ahead of Dovi in 9th and Vinales in 14th. Lorenzo seems to have put his wet weather demons to bed, qualifying 5th and I'd expect another lightening start from him tomorrow regardless of conditions.

Wow, I can breathe again!! Only Marquez can make a save like that and remain in contention for the win. This is a new Dovi. Lorenzo and Stoner have proven wise investments for Ducati, just in a way we didn't expect. This is shaping up as the best season of MotoGP I can remember.

What a finish.

Casey and George have given Dovi a harder edge

Sounds like Casey is having a big impact ( when they listen to him! ) January 2017.

“We are very lucky, we have an exceptional talent, a unique talent in Casey,” Ducati sporting director Paolo Ciabatti told Autosport.

“This is a great benefit. It’s a further competitive advantage that we have.

“I don’t think competitors can do or boast the same. We do have this privilege, we are lucky enough and we will try to capitalise on Casey’s skill.

“He will be giving us plenty of insights to help us improve the bike to be as competitive as possible in every single racetrack around the world.”

It is not just Stoner’s ability to push the bike to the same limits as its race riders Lorenzo and Andrea Dovizioso that is so prized by Ducati.

His technical feedback is also considered exceptional by Ducati’s engineers.

“Casey is important,” Gigi Dall’Igna, Ducati Corse general manager, told motomatters.com.

“It’s difficult to explain ... If you understand very well his words, I think you can understand very well the behaviour of the bike on the track.

“He is one of the few riders that can transmit the real problems of the bike. Maybe sometimes you cannot understand what he means!

“But test after test you can understand a little bit better and in the end normally you find out that — since the beginning — he gave to you the real problems.”
