Damn - Punching way over your weight with that brave/prescient combo Pv - the only other person to have a pick that didn't include Marc or Fabio is St Stephen down the tail end of the pack (although they're at a [potential] disadvantage with Dovi leaving).
Many thanks as ever Ivanhoe

Motoshrink thinks...
That Team orders have a good place guiding team work.
See Vinales holding off Quarty. Bastiannini leaving room. Cal and Morbidelli blocking lines on A.Espargaro.
If you think it is hard passing a Ducati, wait until Bastiannini is behind Bagnaia leaving room, defending the race line, and enjoying the tow at pace! Then Bezzechi? Italians, Ducs, and VR46 brother. Followed by Zarco too.
P.Espargaro and A.Marquez didn't stand a chance getting by. Brotherhood may be a strong off track bond, but...
--> Marc besting Oliveira was excellent strategy/racecraft. Same for Binder on Martin!
Relatively calm opening stage, painful lessons learned. If you were Ducati and DIDN'T flex coordinated strategy with racers it would be time for criticism. It's a war!
(Zipped myself re geo political/economic alarming trend of late, but thought it via humor. Sincere appreciation for our beloved racing and community at these times instead).
Cheers. Thank you Ivanhoe

Binder
Loving that over-rev... wonder what he's turning on some of those downshifts! Beautiful!!!
Passed 'shrink into top 12
More points for me!
Made a mistake with my rookie pick, that's racing. Go Bezzecchi!
Should have picked another Ducati but hoped KTM would have a better year. Wishful thinking re; Remy "superbike" Gardner.
Picked the right Yamaha at least.
Shoulda
Looks like I should have pick Bezzecchi for my rookie, sorry Remy.
Could have been in third place.
Picking Marc Marquez was a mistake? How can that be?! AE41 has 2.6 times as many points as MM93.
Perfect picks would mean 1,023 points, none of us are even close. Unpredictable.
