Boy, that kid Viρales sure can ride, huh? But more improbably, Jorge Lorenzo has bowed out on two straight races, leaving the door open for Dr. Consistency to stay on the podium with Cal Crutchlow in tow. Now where have I seen that before?

Coming up...

Marc Marquez is the Supreme Overlord of COTA, and everyone else is out to take his place in the throne.

I know most of this is a longshot, but I gamble with my heart, and I don’t want to have any reason to root for any other outcome.

Tomorrow and Sunday are going to be pretty windy, with at 14 mph, and relatively cool. Only 67 tomorrow.

My prediction: The rider who finishes ahead of all the others will win.

I gave away my free Velocity lounge ticket (given to me by my boss) to another workmate that knows nothing of MotoGP or motor sport in general.

My boss knows a bunch of Italian peeps that run a Moto3 team.
