Malaysian Grand Prix - Sepang

[René]

No more F1 in Sepang but MotoGP remains popular in the Asian country. Andrea Dovizioso will start as favorite after having won in 2016 and 2017, a circuit where the Ducati goes well. And he could seal his position as vice champion for the second year in a row. However, newly crowned World champion Marc Márquez can never be ignored and he will be strong for sure.

The big question in Sepang is as always; will it stay dry?

I caught the pre-race interviews which is turning out to be an absolute hoot, Iannone was so funny, but the camaraderie between the riders, some of whom actively dislike each other was marvelous to watch and listen, and one who did surprise me was Jorge, much more relaxed and amusing, so was the Mav, a really nice way to start a GP, something, yet again F1 could really learn from, as could BSB/WSB.

I am going for the Suzuki's not sure why just think they are getting it together and whilst not having the grunt of the Dukes they are competing

Yes Chris, the Suzuki is a really good bike now but just lacking a little top end power, but not much. I think Maverick is thinking what if I had stayed, even though he won the last race. Still think that Suzuki have made a bad choice in Mir next year; yes he nearly won in Moto2 last weekend, but one swallow and all that! Pleased that Brad Binder beat him, really like the South African, someone who deserves to move up much more than two of his competitors who are without any worthwhile Moto2 results.

I still believe that DORNA stink, and wreak of Ecclestonitis. As I had no internet over the weekend I could not watch the race live so had to make do with UK C5's highlights of BTSport coverage. I thought it was poor as all g*bsh*te Heuwen could rattle on about was the first three or four places all race, it was a terrible commentary. Also as Carl often comments about some of the American commentators, I do not need to be given a running commentary of what I can see for myself.
