Australian Grand Prix - Philip Island

[René]

One of the best tracks on the calendar and a track that should suit the Yamahas. Can someone end the winning streak of Marc Marquez? The Spaniard has been in a class of his own this year and therefore a very deserved champion but it would be nice if someone else could win a race for once!

Can Fabio Quartararo finally break the spell like Charles Leclerc did in Spa? For Valentino Rossi it will be his 400th start (!) so a good result for him would be nice. And what about Johann Zarco on the Honda? First signs look good.

The biggest question mark so far however is the weather. Qualifying has been postponed so let's hope circumstances are good on race day! Bring it on!

thanks Rene,

the weather is so changeable, it makes the North-East look calm, however that wind is no fun on any form of transport let alone one of these projectiles, as Miguel Olivera found out,

can Fabio do it? sadly with those injuries it looks less likely but it would be good for motorbike racing if the Yamaha's actually beat Marquez, but Zarco winning would be a hoot, and most welcome, whatever it is likely to be a great race as this circuit is just simply one of the best, I have yet to watch the Rossi interview but he is being consistently beaten by the other three Yamaha riders and one wonders if it is still possible for Rossi to win again, it would be awesome if he did and a great one for an ageing soul

this race was going so well, didn't like the agression of Marquez but the name on the trophy will be his as he just wins at his pleasure,
