Rossi needs to forget about the fastest lap and concentrate ALL his time on race pace in all the stages:

Heavy fuel load, new tyres
Light fuel load, worn tyres

and of course everything in between !!!

Rossi has always been a Sunday man and only a fool would bet against it him doing the buisness on Sunday.

To be honest the person who keeps their head best will be the winner imo. Pressure cooker atmosphere and a mistake is so easy to make and so costly.

May the best man win. Who ever is World Champion come Sunday afternoon deserves it imo. There is no such thing as an easy title campaign regardless of what some arm chair racers would have you believe.

Just watching fp2 on the planner.

HRC have Sete Gibernau in the box as a guest. Surely they are trying to wind Rossi up.

Marquez quote from earlier today:

Marquez -"Honda have only asked me to try and win the race, not stay away from anyone"

I can't wait for the race. Something out of the ordinary is going to happen for sure. Rossi gobs it trying to get to the front and Lorenzo gobs it while leading or Marquez takes Rossi out with a Kung fu kick. Something IS going to happen! But what?

Will the Ducatis play a part in it and tangle with Lorenzo, will the Hondas be clashing with the Ducatis to help Lorenzo?

The ducatis won't be able to overtake anyone. Have you seen the size of the wings???

Iannone is going to punt Lorenzo into the gravel and by Monday Italy and Spain will on war standby.

The Italians will have their tanks in reverse ready and waiting
