Japan MotoGP ***Spoiler Alert***
The starting grid:
  1. Johan Zarco 1'53.469
  2. Danilo Petrucci 1'53.787
  3. Marc Marquez 1'53.903
  4. Aleix Espargaro 1'53.947
  5. Jorge Lorenzo 1'54.235
  6. Dani Pedrosa 1'54.342
Valentino Rossi made a poor decision about tyres and will start from 12th. Andrea Dovizioso starts from 9th position.

Looking forward to the race tomorrow afternoon my time and the Australian GP next weekend. Not to mention the ride to Philip Island. Tongue

RE: Japan MotoGP
Best investment for Motogp is the Video Pass. I watch all the practice, qualifying and races anytime I wish. Watch races from years ago also. Use Chromecast to watch on the big screen.

RE: Japan MotoGP
Zarco won the pole position ? wow !!
Was it raining during the qualification ? That might explain why Zarco won the pole ?

Me too, I'll invest in the MotoGP Video Pass.

Marco couldn't cut it in the big one, but it was an amazing race to the final lap between Marquez and Dovizioso with Andrea pulling off a remarkable last minute pass. Marquez fought back but overcooked it slightly and couldn't make it stick. My jaw muscles are only just relaxing!

Only 11 points between them in the championship with 3 races to go.
