Ed Hilary on being 1st to top Mt Everest,
(& 1st to do a surface traverse across Antarctica,
in good Kiwi style - riding a Massey Ferguson farm
tractor - with a few extemporised mod's to hack the task).

I wonder if Honda started to use longer wheelbase or that top speed comes from just engine power. CC says front end of bike is not like front he used to

I believe Dovi and Ducati will win this race. Petrucci and Marc on podium. Marc probably 2nd Petrux 3rd. Bring on this weekend! I love watching all the Free Practice sessions and then trying to predict who will get pole and who will win the race. But before watching any FP that's what my ranking is for the race. The Ducati GP19 seems to be a beast. Marc will probably suffer a bit for the first couple of races and do damage limitation because of his shoulder.

For first few races, best thing for Honda riders to bring bike home with points as much as possible without any fall. I believe they will keep this way. Then It must be Vinales Dovi fight. Maybe Alex Rins will participate them ( hope so ). May favorite vinales in same case with you.

This is just first practice session but Honda looks really good on straightline speed. Lorenzo looks not bad. Ducati have strange aero parts. Honda's front brakes looks different from previous years
