Track looks SICK. Troy or Loris for my money, Daprela if he can hold it together but there are too many chances to go wrong haha.

I think I read Daprela crashed on the road gap here and smashed his face again?

Track looks insane, wish it was dry. Will be incredible racing regardless

Picking a winner will be hard, Troy, Loris, any of those other Frenchies, even Minaar... Need to raise the Salary cap in the fantasy league.

I think Troy will take it…but I couldn’t afford him. I’ve picked lots of upper tier but affordable frenchies…..and Vali of course.

Ugh thought I’d seen his name on the TT sheet. Disregard then!

He was talking in the vid with his team mates. Looks fine to ride with the banged honker. He’s on the qualifying starting list. Who know.
