potentially... but you'll also see the 'fast' guys in general are fairly high up even in testing. But you're absolutely correct as we only know the times we can see.

I hope the Aprilia is more in the mix this year. It's hard to make a prediction because Aleix is so unpredictable. He's a past master of a single fast lap which in itself can mask a multitude of problems with the bike and solely based on testing the machine can look better than it is.

Fast isn't good enough,they all need fast and consistent. That's requires the whole package of rider,bike and team.

I reckon it'll be 3 of the 4 Yamaha riders (not Rossi), the Suzuki's (both of em) and Marc if he is fit. Who knows about the KTMs yet. Ducati? Well for all of their usual funky aero/testing devices Jack says they are chasing their tail for the odd split here and there as the bike is the same. Which sounds like they'll be fast but can't turn as usual, so gonna discount them for the title. Be nice if Prilla can get near the sharp end.
