MotoGP misano, last chance for Rossi to shine?

[weeksy]

Or indeed, have we gone past that day.

Quat again? Ducati? KTM to come back with a vengeance?

[Skub]

Maybe a Quartararo and Bagnaia battle?

Ducati did well the last time 3 in the top 5.

[Supermofo]

Dunno, but BT Sport have done another one of those shit Rossi as a super hero ads

I think we are long past that day he can shine above the rest of the pack. Will be an emotional weekend for Rossi.

The new guard of his mentored yoof will carry the torch from now on and hopefully Peco can give a home crowd win

It's 20 mins (15 for mental Italian yoofs on scooters) from Tavulia and his business, there'll be a massive crowd to see him off.

Sadly I think they'll see him dicing with the usual suspects for least worst.

I'd really like to see him stick it somewhere respectable for at least a session or 2.

12th in FP1 is far from a disaster.

Bloody hell.

I thought the same. I watched that Sepang race in a bar in OluDeniz in Turkey along with a couple of other Brit holiday makers

[weeksy]

Start of day 2 seems foggy and damp. Not exactly the ideal conditions but the good thing for us fans is that it could bring some interesting names who wouldn't normally be battling at the front.

[Skub]

Dodgy,horrible conditions today again,loads of crashes and some spectacular saves. Marquez even surprised himself!

Some big names well down the grid and a dry race tomorrow.....

[Yorick]

That was a helluva crash. Bike shagged.

[Yorick]

I'm happy with that

[weeksy]

a good days racing with a lot of entertainment that's for sure. I didn't really care who wins/won, just want to see interesting racing.

[Le_Fromage_Grande]

It was quite enjoyable

[Scotsrich]

A good top 10 finish for Rossi as well.

I think he’ll be pleased with that.

[Supermofo]

Felt bad for Pecco, but them's the risks. Was happy for Marc as really want him back at the sharp end each race. Don't think he'll ever be as was, but that talent needs to be fighting for wins. And Fabio was deserved Champ for me. Really impressive this year and seems a nice bloke too.

As long as winter goes well for him, i can see him destroying the lot of them all year next year.
