If next weekends race can be anything like the Qatar I may just have a heart attack. That excitement was second to none! The new rules I find have really improved the satellite teams if you can still call them that. Stephan Bradl,Bautista,Smith all seemed to be able to contend with the big boys for a large majority of the race. Can they make the final jump and fully battle till the final lap? The Open Class on the other hand had so much promise going into race day but just didnt hold up in the latter stages. The gap between A.Espargaro and Bautista/Pedrosa were a bit over 8 seconds which ultimately wasn't Dorna's objective when implementing these new restrictions. What will they come up with next? Sure qualifying is more exciting but that has zerio impact come Sunday.... 

Yes sir. I've been looking. 

I'm thinking its just to risky to wager on this one at this point in time with a 40% chance of thunderstorms. Rain is the only thing that is able to tighten up the pack and give anyone a riders chance. I will most likely wait right up until race to to lay down some wagers. That said I'm already looking at qualifying for an edge. Aleix had an excellent price at 16/1 prior to free practice, obviously I slept on it and after FP2 he was down to a measly 9/1.

Any ideas?

Looking like a good chance of rain

Could be a good opportunity to take 99,26, and 46

Dani has been faster all weekend and was very close to MM's qualifying pace. He lead for half the race here last year, and came an easy second obviously losing to Marquez in the end. COTA definitely favors the Honda machines and Jorge just doesn't seem to have the same pace. 3 Honda's in the starting grid and could easily be 3 Hondas on the Podium. If it rains which there is a 40% chance it does, I like my chances even more.

This shouldnt even be a match up in my mind. That is unless you made Bradly a -250 or higher. IMO there is just simply to much value to pass up on here. Sure Cal was quicker in Qualifying and rightfully so. He gets the advantage of running the soft option "open" tire. All that and he finished a mere .02 seconds faster than Smith. Cal also has been suffering machinical problems all weekend. Smith should finish SECONDS ahead of this guy. With any luck he wont finish the race today. 

I hear ya buddy. I was nervous about rain the whole week and really didnt want to lay anything big on a winner. Those 5 dollar wagers were basically insurance if it did end up raining. Shame you couldn't get the same rider match ups as me, hell of a showing for Dovi and Ducati finishing on the Podium (3rd) today. Thankfully Pedrosa came through easily as Lorenzo was out of contention before the race started. So hopefully a break even for ya

No rain and as I thought young Marc Marquez dominated to take home his second victory of the season. He was unchallenged from start to finish with only a minor scare on the final turn of the final lap.

Feeling like I'm getting a great read early on and have been able to turn profits in both races to start the 2014 season. Cal wasn't able to finish the race like I had hoped. Lorenzo shot himself in the foot early with his false start and never had a chance to regain a podium finish.

Sad to see but I can't say that I'm surprised. Marky is the real deal guys and will be the guy to beat all year long. 

See you in Argentina!
