2017 MotoGP Argentina*Spoilers*

[OT]

Every Ducati is faster than Lorenzo.

Every satellite Ducati is faster than the factory team.

On BeIN TV, Pegram gives JLo 'two-more weeks, at most' before Ducati starts mercilessly flogging him..."they're paying him a lot of money and they want results..."

Jorge crashes out on lap 1.

[Kopfjager]

MM walking away from the field. Down and out of the race

[Kopfjager]

Pedrosa out. These guys are killing their tires

[Kopfjager]

Espargaro just took Dovi out

This track shows no mercy and takes its toll.

Bautista on the GP16 showed good pace revealing how Ducati has taken a wrong turn with the GP17.

Would it be fair to say Ducati and Honda made the biggest changes to the factory bikes while Yamaha made a more evolutionary step?

Tyre smokin' mid pack battles were great.

[Kopfjager]

My boy'!

Ducati: Jorghey decided to ride his bike over Iannone. Poor Dovi. I was about to say how great it looked for Aprilia to bring in Aleix. Spoke too soon. Bautista looking great on the GP15.

[duccarlos]

Yamaha: what can you say? Viñales was on rails. Starting to see a trend with Rossi, suck throughout the weekend and manage to find something to get on the podium. Zarco and Folger just wow. I know they're riding a great bike, probably the second best behind this year's M1, but these guys are rookies!

[duccarlos]

Honda: WTF? The Marquez brothers both crashed out of their races pushing way too much. Feel bad for Pedrosa. He had an open track and should have been able to manage 4th. That Honda is truly a POS. Cal made it through by fighting his bike all the way.

[duccarlos]

make the beast with two backsing Jorghey should start giving Ducati back their money. He's regularly being beat by every other Ducati. Dovi was at least in the top 10 when he was taken out. Jorghey didn't even make it out of the first corner and even then was likely to linger in the tail end of the grid. make the beast with two backs, I would be ok with him being anywhere in the top 10.

All 3 races were good today.

The Marquez brothers did not fare too well.

Yamaha: what can you say? Viñales was on rails. Starting to see a trend with Rossi, suck throughout the weekend and manage to find something to get on the podium. Zarco and Folger just wow. I know they're riding a great bike, probably the second best behind this year's M1, but these guys are rookies!

More evidence of the sorted '16 bikes being (at the moment) better than the '17's, other than the Yamahas.

Rossi's giving the 2015 Campaign Plan another go, qualify ~3rd row and bust ass to get on the podium.
Not a solid plan at all.
He's got to apply some of his Sunday Mojo on Saturday to mount a serious title challenge.
I can't see Rossi's ego accepting a 'regular podium finisher' reality.
That's a necessary but not sufficient condition to getting the WC.

Zarco hazing the tire in the battle for 4th, really cool!

JLo is just make the beast with two backsed in the head right now.
It's painful to watch.

4 of the last 7 years, the WC leader after 2 rounds has gone on to win the WC.

As opposed to this joker thinking he was going to finish 6th?!
