1. Marquez
2. Rossi
3. Dovi
4. Iannone
5. Whore-hey
Rossi and Dovi are interchangeable. Not so sure Ianonne will finish.

I really wanna put a Duc as the winner especially with the straight line speed but wonder if tire management will be an issue, especially with all the fighting that will go on at the top between riders. Wonder if tires will be eaten early because of it... |

Hard to say on the tires...they lasted OK in Qatar.
To spice things up...forecast ranges anywhere from 40%-90% chance of rain.
It's Austin though...there could still be a dry track if it's just a passing shower, and not an all-out soaker.

Rain at start, stops 5 laps in, starts raining again on lap 15.
Several racers are scuttled in the mayhem...podium looks like this:
Rossi
Ianonne
Vinales
(A boy can dream can't he?!?!)

If it rains, Whore-hey may not make the top 5.
If Whore-hey gets into an early battle, he'll cook his tires and may not make the top 5.
If it does rain how will the new Duc perform?
Anyway, this looks like it might be another good race.

I think M1s will have troubles at COTA (VR and JLo should land from 3rd to 6th). I see HRC and GP15s fighting.

I'm not buying those mph values. 176 through T18...really? We sat there during the 1st GP race, and they aren't going 176mph!
MM highsided right in front of us in T19, and I seriously doubt he was doing 122 mph when he did it.
GP bikes do a lap in right about 2 minutes. At 3.4 miles long, that's an average speed of 113 mph. Looks to be too many big numbers on that diagram to come up with a 113 average.

For reference...Vettel's pole lap in 2012 which was about 1:36 (about 25 seconds faster than a GP bike)
T1 - 53 mph (86 kph)
T4 - 150 mph (240 kph)
T11 - 50 mph (80 kph) [180mph or 290 kph max into it]
T18 - 160 mph (260 kph)
T19 - 105 mph (170 kph)
That graphic is complete BS...even for an F1 car (except for the top speeds at the ends of the straights)

That said...I'd call it a power track for sure. I expect the Ducati to do well.
