Hondas run well here, Yamahas run well here. Might be a little warm on Sunday, so I choose anybody but a Ducati.

seriously, i cant rem the last time Duc did well here.

track is different again and everyone says the tight chicane will favor Honda's short wheelbase and flickability.

As well sorted as the Yamahas are this year, I'm having a hard time coming to grips with a Honda overcoming the odds. I see the new section as another place for the Honda to have tire issues, unless Michelin shows up with a magical Honda tire to make up for Ducati weekend.

Steee-riiike!

dang you're right...stoner about 8-10 years ago I'd guess, and they don't have anyone like him on the team. the track seems well suited for the big power of the Ducati, but must be too much loss in the corners?

I'll go out on a limb and say a Spaniard will win this one. I'm thinking Marquez needs to jump back into further relevance...

in fact, all the "aliens" need to up their game. Mav isn't just a kid on a shiny new toy. He knows what he's doing. And yeah he's cool and all, but I don't like the whole running away with the 'ship so damned early in the season.

I guess I'm a bit disappointed in the aliens this year.

They're so close to the beach.. fill that corner with deep, soft sand... and pad the wall with paella... it'll be fine

I don't mind slightly new configurations. Then I don't have to hear about who is and isn't above the lap record for 3 days from the commentators.

Fresh start, sucka! Now tell me about frames and shit.

U know that if you take away Nick Harris' bread and butter, we are just going to get drivel, mistakes, and tons of "masterclass". Ugh

i dont think MM will take any risks this year. he seems to be phoning it in.

i just cant wait to see how terribly the ducs do as they flounder down the grid because barthalona is a go kart track rather than a full on horsepower turbo nawzz track

i really dont understand whats wrong w/ the RCV right now. the engine change should have made it easier to push by now. instead MM seems to have lost that spark. maybe he is pushing on entry like before, but the reduced power is making it all for not. i gotta look into this more.

Catalunya def has too many single corners where line choice must be perfect for the Duc to be as competitive as they were at Mugello.

That title. :rofl

I'm not sure why we're hating on Nick. I can't wait to hear his next zinger. I've been trying to work in "I can't hear myself breathe" all week at work.
