Gran Premio Michelin® de la República Argentina

[weeksy]

This weekend sees some more MotoGP action.

I'm out all weekend so i'll be missing this until i potentially catch up on Sunday/Monday.

But anyway, who've you got your eye on this weekend... anyone going to play catch-up after a poor start ?

[Yorick]

They've not been here for a while and it's a totally new circuit for many of them. It's more wide open than usual,

[Skub]

Bagnaia and Martin. They better start performing soon,or I'm sacking them off my team. One last chance guys.

It's hard to say if the circuit will favour any particular brand,seems a fair mix.

Fab.

There is still a Rossi stand? Guess he will still have an influence then! I'd say Fabio Quat, Pecco Bag, Brad Bind.

[Bigyin]

One thing is certain is that it will be a first time winner unless Vinales can produce a miracle

[mangocrazy]

Looks like plenty of overtaking opportunities. Isn't the circuit at high(ish) altitude? If so, the Yamahas will be even slower (comparatively) than usual.

Edit - Elevation : 258 meters / 846.46 feet, so not that problematic.

Honda's weekend continues to get off to a bad start as he's tested positive for covid and is now out of the proceedings for Argentina.
