I'm perplexed as to what happened with the Ducati's in Australia? It's in between two wins.

I can only suggest that they're good on the brakes and excellent acceleration but struggle for corner speed. Given Phillip Island is pretty much one long squiggly corner, it played to their weakness.

Also, Tom Luthi had surgery one his ankle and will miss the last round in Valencia, including his first ride on his MotoGP bike at the season ending test.

[Klyntonius]

Am curious to see the rider ins and outs that will result in this utopius grid of title contenders...

 

[Klyntonius]

World Esports championship is on fox sports 3 right now

 

[Klyntonius]

So tonight's the night we find out who will be 2017 MotoGP champion. Marquez is the unbackable favourite with a lot having to go right for Dovi to take the title. Dovi has to win and have Marquez score four points or less (ie. crash out) to have a chance. But with Zarco and Iannone starting alongside Marc on the front row of the grid, there is still that chance!

 

[hey shorty]

It would be a fail of epic proportions if Marquez doesn't win it.

 

[Klyntonius]

Yeah. I hope no-one tries to meddle in an untowards fashion. Let the protagonists settle it themselves.

I can't see Dovi winning, but I can see Marquez falling off. If he does then Pedrosa will have to pull out a good one

 

[NSWCROW]

GOOD GOD !!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[imadodgyumpire]

This is a career season for Dovi. He has definitely had a year worthy of being champion. But having not established himself in the elite level of riders in his career. My fear is that this season may be a one off. I hope an improving Lorenzo doesn't mean his title winning chances are severely reduced or gone. Inhope this season inspires him to be even better in the future.

 

[Klyntonius]

Marquez too win the title with a race win here. Happy to let Zarco burn himself out.

 

[Klyntonius]

Haha, suggested mapping 8. Good luck with that!

 

[NSWCROW]

Off the reservation

 

[Klyntonius]

Wow!!!

 

[Klyntonius]

Yikes! What a dramatic finish!

 

[Klyntonius]

Magnificent support for Dovi by his team. So good to see.

 

[NSWCROW]

****en Marquez is a maniac
