Who should we be backing for big points in Buriram?

Post by weeksy »

Marc Marquez is a two-time winner in Thailand, so will the eight-time World Champion be the go-to pick?

With title favourites faltering last time out in Japan, plenty of MotoGP™ Fantasy players may have felt disappointed on Sunday afternoon. Others, however, would have been delighted to see Jack Miller (Ducati Lenovo Team) and Brad Binder (Red Bull KTM Factory Racing) put in strong performances. Now though, a couple of days on, it’s time to switch our focus to the OR Thailand Grand Prix

MM said that he raced at Motegi with no pain. Once he gets to full fitness it should be fun.

More misery for Fabio and Yamaha. All they can hope for is Bagnaia keeps making mistakes.

Crashlow had a couple of crashes,the last one looked nasty. I'd be surprised if he hasn't an ankle injury from that one.

By flooding the grid with bikes,Ducati may be finding it's working against them and Pecco's championship bid. Lots of fast Ducati riders who won't be listening to team orders,they'll be out for themselves.

Anyone not on a Duc for the race tomorrow looks to be on the back foot.

Seems like Vinales is going back to his default meltdown position,he spent more time flapping his arms around today.
