Another great quali session. Marquez at this moment is the fastest out there and is on a crest of a wave, Can not over estimate just how quick he is, He is putting everyone under massive pressure, The only question mark is can he sustain it over a season?

JL in contrast is extracting the maximum from the M1 and is the only one capable of taking the fight to the Honda`s. He needs something big in terms of upgrades to take the fight to the Honda`s. 2nd today in quali.

Shame about Dani, Though he could be the first to crumble in the race for the Championship. Massive respect to Dovi, who has really gave Rossi some food for thought!! The real deal for me though was Cal, He impressed me massively with his speed in quali, Great ride Cal, Hope you have the pace tomorrow!!

So the one big question this season appears to be answering itself as the season continues and that is the poor form that Vale is in, Mentally he must be getting beat up, After seeing JL take the fight to the Honda`s. It is not just that though is it? When Bradl, Cal & Dovi, Can put in a quicker qualy on SLOWER bikes then that really tells you what you need to know. Rossi`s fastest lap has not even broke into the 1:33`s. He seems as if he is getting slower as the season gets on and not quicker. I feel if his form continues then he should look at ending his career sooner rather than later.

I got to say I really thought VR would take it to JL and be on his tail a lot more than he has......Nearly a second slower than Jorge is, By VR`s standards very poor. I hate to think of Moto gp with-out VR, He was the sole reason I have followed it so closely and this season I am gutted to see the GOAT in such a bad way......Hope he can make it up in the race.
 
He usually makes it up in the race but he's said he can't match Jorge's lap times on full tanks. By the time the fuel has burned off and he's matching his times Jorge is twenty seconds up the road.
