Muchly looking forward to this and sincerely hoping there's a fukketonne of riders looking to release the marquez bros stranglehold on the championship...
Unless the weather plays a part,I'm not seeing any new challengers to the Marquez clan. Acosta and Binder went well last year,but the KTM is now probably the worst bike on the grid.
Aragon last year MM did the clean sweep - fastest in all sessions, pole, Sprint win and GP win. Don't see too much changing from that except younger bro may push him a bit harder.
Aragon is one of MM's favourites, being predominantly left handed. But happy to see Bez, Fabio or Johann on the top step (or anywhere on the podium for that matter).

Good to see Alonso still bothering the front again after his good form at Silverstone - and nice to see 3 x KTMs through to Q2.
And Mir up in 4th!
Should be a good weekend.
I noticed that Alonso did a long run behind Manuel Gonzalez and was able to stay with him, only losing the odd tenth of a second. He had a nasty looking crash late on in Practice, but thankfully appeared unhurt. I think he's getting the hang of Moto2 now...
Mir in 4th was the absolute surprise of the day. Well done that man.
Delighted that mir had a good run of it, and there was plenty of action going on behind the predictable bros. Muchly hoping the front end issue on the bagpuss bike is sorted now so he can stir things up at the front again.
There was a test today at Aragon which produced some fast times.
But Manuel Gonzalez stole the show.
Only a gnat's cock hair behind Salvador, the Aprilia test rider.

I thoroughly enjoyed the late race ding-ding between Fermin and Frankie. There were some fairly robust moves being traded...
I think that was about the only point of interest in a mostly processional race. Thank god for the wee classes.
