All the Ducatis will probably let Pecco in front to nail down the NO.1 Plate. He only has to finish 11th if Fabio doesn't win. 89 Martin, got Pole again and needs to keep it on two wheels to win, which is unlikely. Miller starts third and like Martin needs to stay rubber side down to win, which is likely. This will be his last Ducati ride and it would be very well received and appropriate.
Pecco just needs to keep his nose clean, watch his pit board and ride a calculated race to the championship. He has the Ducati squad running interference for him, which they will do.
This could be Fabio's biggest race ever. He has fallen off the pace in the last five outings and is in a tough spot. He has to win to be No.1 for the second time consecutively. He is riding with a broken finger from the last race crash. Dont count him out, he will be trying like never before.
What a great top 10 line up. Marquez wont be able to go the distance. But any one of the other nine could certainly pull off a spectacular victory. This is why MOTOGP is hands down the best racing on the planet.
