And maybe Marquez will wrap up the Championship?
More likely to be in Japan but it could happen in Thailand.

Despite his crash in training Marquez was unbeatable again. Two Yamahas on the podium, but Rossi finished only 6th....... Second Honda finished 10th!
The results make me wonder!

Cheers,
Huub

I'd say the reason why Mr. Marquez is so dominating is simple.
He has a dirt track at his house & he practices on it.

I do love a Champion who is a winner!
All Marc needed to do was finish 2 points ahead of Dovi, easily done, but the kid rides for a win whenever he goes racing.
And one who really knows how to celebrate.

The master and the apprentice................present and future World Champions.
Huub, when you look at the Honda riders, Lorenzo isn't fit, Crutchlow is a fairly ordinary rider and his LCR team mate is only there because he's Japanese.
However, it has been mentioned (by Daryl Beatty, former Honda factory racer) that Honda might need to de-tune the bike to make it 'easier' to ride.
That happened when he and Mick Doohan were riding the 'big bang' two strokes, IIRC Honda dropped some 10HP but gained a lot of flexibility through the twisty bits.
And how embarrassing for Yamaha, privateers doing the business ahead of the works bikes! Fabio Quartararo way ahead of Vinales and Franco Morbidelli making Rossi look ordinary.
