I read somewhere that Rossi had agreed a deal for Marino at Esponsorama (sp)...

Ah, you mean Luca Marini? I can definitely see that playing out. He's already been linked to the Ducati MotoGP brand. Simon Crafar's interviews with Davide Tardozzi on the topic of Luca Marini have been very evasive so a move like this would be completely unsurprising. If Rossi has put in a word to get him into the Esponsorama Racing team alongside Rabat, that wouldn't surprise me at all!

Oxley's MM story this week is a fab bit of writing. You don't need to be one of those tribal sort of fans to appreciate the sheer talent of the kid:

FP1 times and it looks like it could be a wet weekend.

FP2 times. Not sure what programs people are on. Weird that Brad is way down in last, 6 seconds off the pace. Dovi goes from being 3/10ths of a second off in FP to more than four seconds off in FP2. Will have to read the Friday roundup to make head or tail of things...

Unlucky for Darryn. He was definitely in the podium and victory battle there.

Seems like Valentino Rossi has tested positive for Covid19. Unlikely then he'll make this weekend's race at Aragon. Will be interesting to see if anyone jumps on the second Yamaha. Lorenzo perhaps...?

Damn...that's hectic.. Well JL99 tested the M1 so he would be the shoe in...
I'd be surprised if it does happen. It'll be a single works Yamaha for the next two races.
They won't risk him, or another rider, taking away points from Viñales.

As long as he's wearing a full face helmet , he should be ok

MotoGP gods do not want him hitting that mark. Poor dude. I hope he recovers and nails it. Gotta love the dude.

No plans to replace Rossi according to MotoGP.com. Interesting, given how tight the manufacturer championship is. Yamaha only 19 points clear of Ducati.

The way some of these teams operate is bizarre....
Viñales also 19 behind Fabio. Rider title is 1st prize I guess and they don't want a temporary team mate to take points away from him as I mentioned.
