My thought process was - if I try and pick riders I think will win, they won't, so I went Zarco, because he does a good Gallic shrug, Rins and Mir because they used to ride for Suzuki and Jorge Martin because I couldn't think of anyone else

The obvious rider to go for would be Pecco, but at £3.5 million I'm not convinced he's that good value. It also means that you have a lot less to spend on other riders. I think Jorge Martin is a good shout, but then I would as he's in my team.

Team Skub riders all managed to stay on this round and allow me to enjoy (however brief) my time at the top of the table.

Follow me bitches. 8-)

I was certain I'd swapped out Luca Marini for Marco Bezzecchi and was feeling pretty smug as Bez splashed to victory, only to find when logging in that Marini was still in my team.

I think I may submit a protest...

I have both and was so smug today that Bezzecchi won, handing me double points, only to realise that Marini was my second double pointer. Oh well, Marini did me the business yesterday.

As for Pecco, the daft twat's mind must have started to drift and think of the ho's he could hire with his third place bonus :roll:

Dang it - swapped Viñales in for Bastianini & stuck with Mir. At least I had VR46 as team.

Considering i had Vinales and MArtin, the weekend didn't go quite as badly as i thought.. I'm not exactly at the top, but i'm in the melting pot still.
