    Predictions for Portimao: Marquez, Bastianini, Quartararo on podium.
    Right on one count, by a long shot... This year continues to show intriguing distribution of podiums and points among the field/manufacturers. Gotta feel for Mir, he was riding so well until Miller took him out. Even if it looked like he might well have given up third at some point anyway. Great late charge for A Espargaro and freaking go Alex Rins! Storming ride on the Suzuki from the back to 4th.

    I'll be curious to hear what happened to M Marquez and honda, he just couldn't make up much ground at all. His brother won't thank him for that finish though.

      I just counted - 42 hours of MotoGP, MotoAmerica, Road Racing and Daytona on my DVR. So please, guys, don't tell me what happened (somebody went down, right?)
      1982 GS1100E V&H "SS" exhaust, APE pods, 1150 oil cooler, 140 speedo, 99.3 rear wheel HP, black engine, '83 red

      2016 XL883L sigpic Two-tone blue and white. Almost 42 hp! Status: destroyed, now owned by the insurance company. The hole in my memory starts an hour before the accident and ends 24 hours after.

              Good god, just watched Moto 2 today, what a wild affair that was. Couple of those guys should kiss their lucky rabbits' feet.

                The Moto2 crash is the big story.
                Watching the video I was wondering if riders 2 & 3 crashed because they froze when rider 1 went down. No it looks like there was a slippery spot on the track they each hit in succession.
                However some of the following riders did crash themselves.
                Any weirdness happening in front of a rider distracts their attention. Coming up on a crash scene in a very fast corner, bad.

                  I borrowed this prediction from a writer, but it makes sense to me: Quartararo, Bastianini & A. Espargaro, with Rins in 4th.
                  Suzuki could do better, but Rins and Mir don't know how to qualify so good, they'll start mid pack.

                      Echo that. Not the most exciting race, esp. after Bagnaia went down. Moto 2 was more entertaining, I thought.

                        Did I just see a 47 year old beat a 16 and a 17 year old? Nah, couldn't be.

                        (Old men racing? Fine. Old men holding the umbrellas? Disgusting!)

                          Man I am so bummed with Suzuki quitting MotoGP.
                          The team was ascending, winning podiums, bikes look gorgeous.
                          Now the team is assending, just doing their hours till they find a new job.
                          It all shows through with the drop in results, and fk-ups.

                            Yeah it's a shame. Rins and Mir will be fine in the end, they're both too good--but you gotta feel for all the support staff, must be hard for them especially. I wonder what the biz rationale was for pulling the plug.

                            For my money Moto 3 has just been the best racing to watch, what a killer finish last weekend!

                              Wow, THE biggest bad feeling felt by any rider after a race……… Aleix Espargaro poor guy, thought the race was over, one lap early.
                              Everybody has a bad day.

                                Especially Nacagami, face planting Bagnaia's rear wheel and taking him out as well as Rins! On the first corner.....
