Personally i think Marquez's career is going to be a very short one. He wants the fame, results and cult following that Rossi had (has), but he is doing himself far too much damage trying.
Despite what he thinks, he is not an invincible super hero and sooner, rather than later he is going to suffer an injury that he will just not be able to recover from, and that will end his career as a motorcycle racer.

My senior trackday buddies & I have been betting just for fun on who podiums. Not really the exact order, but whoever is gonna be up there.
That final injury could happen this weekend. Nobody takes his kind of risks.
I hope it don't, but that's his way.

Any predictions for the podium in Austin?
I heard some made before Marquez booked a flight.
I'll just predict; 2 Ducati and 1 Suzuki in that order.

I like to wait thru qualifying sessions to see who's progressing & find out who's on pole to get a better understanding of who might pounce in the top 8, before making a guess.
Last race I thought Marini VR46 might get his 1st podium, as he was close & a mistake by dudes ahead might promote him a spot.
I thought the Espargaro bros might podium together, which would've been super cool, as those guys have put in mind boggling amount effort over many years.
For Aleix to win for Aprillia, after early day struggles with Aprillia, shows the depth of his determination.

I certainly wouldn't bet against Marquez, he'll be the odds on favorite. At least one and maybe two Ducatis for the other slots. Martin and Bagnaia would be my guess.
Wouldn't be surprised to see either Rins or Mir up there either.
I'm gonna go with Miller, Bastianini, Mir. Not necessarily in that order.
Might be 3 Ducati's, but wanted to give another brand a chance since the pole sitter wasn't using all the top speed available & still managed pole.

I'm thinking 1-4 Ducati sweep.
Has everyone noticed Ducati is having problems with their new 2022 bike?
So far, last year's bike in their satellite programs is way more competitive.

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.
This is an open thread.
Don't stifle us.
Rob, the whole point of this thread is to discuss the races. If you don't want to know, don't open the thread!
