Very bad Yamaha.
But I expect an unpredictable Gp because there is a lot of degradation and I expect to see so many falls. Marquez fell about 10 times in 3 days!
Today it will be important to take some points without risking too much

Great driving was from Dovi he controlled this race and after he took leading position he was unstoppable, but Yamaha's better to forget this weekend for good, they have very bad performance and Rossi tried his best but Vinales made position only to error from drivers in front of him he was even worst then Rossi this weekend.

Dux2K, you posted wrong results, Vettel finnished 4th, not 6th. And after everything what happened in start, I think it's not bad result for him.
Alonso had chances to collect first points in this season, but only two laps before finnish he stopped due to engine problems.
It's nice to see that Lance Stroll finnished in 9th place at his home GP, and this is the first points in his F1 career.

amazing ducati peformance can back to bak win, after win in muggello, this now win again in catalunya
ussualy in cantulanya yamaha is very strong, iam not understand why yamaha performance is very bad

this season i think ducati with dovizioso can compete world championship, can compete with vinales and marques

[tokeweed]

This is turning out to be one of the more exciting seasons in F1 in recent years.  If the back and forth between Ferrari and Mercedes keep up we could see the Driver's championship might be decided on the last race.  When was the last time that happened?

[cicciobtc]

Standing MotoGP after 7 races:


1) Vinales     111  
2) Dovizioso  104    -7
3) Marquez    88     -23
4) Pedrosa     84     -27
5) Rossi         83     -28
6) Zarco        75     -36
7) Lorenzo     59     -52
8 ) Folger       51     -60  
9) Crutchlow  45     -66
10)Petrucci    42     -69


5 riders in just 28 points, of 3 different teams.
Each of these can win this unpredictable world championship.
Honda seems more constant, while Yamaha on some tracks is far superior to other teams while in some tracks it is very weak.
Dovizioso is the great surprise of this start of the championship.

Damn it's a really sad sight to see Fernando Alonso consistently not being able to finish a single race. Looks like the championship is going to end with 0 wins by Alonso.

Hamilton is probably going to win again this year if he keeps winning. I think Vettel will have a streak of bad luck at the end with his car and Hamilton will take the lead.

Damn it's a really sad sight to see Fernando Alonso consistently not being able to finish a single race. Looks like the championship is going to end with 0 wins by Alonso.

It's obvious that Alonso will end season without wins. It was already clear before season that he won't be able to fight for a win. I'm not even sure that Alonso will get some points this season.

This season is over for him, if he could take some point it would be good but from this point of view that's not gonna happen.  Better for him to change team or McLaren to take Mercedes engines.

It would be better for Fernando to move on and transfer to another team next year. I hope to see him in Redbull or back to Renault. McClaren will not be the team they were years ago unless Honda gives them a good engine. But all the promised upgrades are always delayed.

Correct, I meant to say "points" not "wins". I was expecting Alonso to at least get 1 damn point, just 1, so you dont have a big ugly 0 as score. He was doing great this race, 10th position would give him a point, but the damn car had to crash in the last lap, he is cursed with bad luck. Let's hope he gets a good luck streak soon, odds say he should have good luck soon.

Another race weekend!  Ok, I've been reading that Honda still has hope in the partnership with McClaren.  We'll see how it all pans out for them after the much anticipated engine upgrade will finally be used this weekend.  And there's also more and more news of Williams' link with Honda as well.

Here's the schedule for the race.

Perfect balance between Hamilton and Vettel at quote@1.90
At this time interesting the Ferrari at quote@2.75, it seems very highin comparison to the great balance seen up to this point.

The Ferrari line isn't really 'high' as in has value.  That's because Bottas has a way better chance to win than Raikonnen does.  Maybe it's good to start looking when the line moves up to 3.50.  Sometimes the sports books make very efficient lines and it's hard to get an edge on them.  They're also very smart in making them look like it's 'high'.  Don't fall for it.

Here are the odds updated after 7 races of 18 for the MotoGP:

Vinales     @1.85
Marquez   @3.60
Dovizioso  @5.50 
V. Rossi    @8.00
Pedrosa    @9.50
Zarco      @50.00
Lorenzo   @66.00


5 riders struggling to win the world Championship! This year there is great balance and unpredictability in MotoGp.
Interesting the quote at @8.00 for V. Rossi.
I think he can return to victory in the next Gp of Assen and so this quote will drop a lot.
