It seems the Yamahas don't like Catalunya. This might be where MM gets back into the championship.

[ducpainter]

That was quite a lap by Espargaro...soft tire sure...but still.

[m9hundo]

JLo seems happy, he's running a good pace and consistent laps. Chances of rain tomorrow could turn things upside down.

[lazylightnin717]

My bets are already on JLo.

[Raux]

Rossi, mm, a. Esp

[Needle99]

I don't see VR on podium this round. 3 diff manufacturer on front row is my prediction.

[lazylightnin717]

2 manufacturers and the first two are Suzukis.

[m9hundo]

ah horse $hit Jlo on the front row, I'm hoping this isn't another blow out from the get go 

[Triple J]

Suzuki!!! Lets hope they can keep up over race distance.

[Needle99]

Vinales was very unexpected for me.
Just have to hope Jlo does not blow by in the first 2 corners...
Hope Marquez and Dovi can get by him at the start to keep things interesting.
Wonder what the zuke medium tyre pace was like...

[ducpainter]

The Zook was faster in FP3 on a medium, but Lorenzo set the fastest lap on a medium tire of the weekend.

He was ticking of 1:41's like clockwork.

Someone needs to slow him up so there's a race. If he gets a good start he could be gone again.

This. You can't let Jorghey qualify in the front row. The Suks will keep it interesting for the first couple f laps, then fall back. They don't normally have the best starts either. MM did much better, but we don't know how much the changes to the bike will help. Dovi will be fighting for 5th.

[m9hundo]

crossing my fingers VR will show up early to the party this time
