First to speak was Marquez, who talked through the race weekend – but also highlighted the importance of avoiding mistakes as the clock continues its countdown to Valencia: “The battle is on fire. Five races to go, equal points with Dovi and also Viñales is very close. Valentino has come back, Dani is not far - we’ll keep pushing to the end but at the moment we’re at Aragon, one of my favourites circuits so we’ll see how we can manage the situation throughout the weekend.

Friday’s qualifiers: perfect Germany, in-form Lewandowski
Germany a formidable Czech challenge"Even our best possible performance might not be enough to get points," Czech midfielder Bořek Dočkal said of the meeting with Germany. The world champions have won all six games in Group C and could potentially book their place in Russia over the next week. The Czechs are four points behind second-placed Northern Ireland, who they visit on Monday, and any slip against Germany will make victory in Belfast a necessity. Coach Karel Jarolím will have to make changes in central defence as captain Tomáš Sivok and regular partner Jakub Brabec are missing. Czech Republic v Germany
Many Bostonians Will Be Pulling For Conor McGregor In Floyd Mayweather Fight
For Conor McGregor, Boston is somewhat of a home away from home. The Irish UFC fighter will make his boxing debut Saturday in a mega-fight against the undefeated Floyd Mayweather, Jr. at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

Aero-fairings: some post-Austria questions answered
DA: “The Petrucci, the ‘original’ one, is the longer one. That’s the official fairing, shall we call it - the one that’s been homologated. But the rules allow you to remove material. So, what they’ve done is cut away this fairing and made this smaller version. The rules do allow you to remove material from the aero package.

It’s a molded piece and one piece. All they’ve done is cut away the bottom of it. So, when you see two different versions,
Lorenzo: “The fairing was better”
Jorge Lorenzo, P15: “It was a really positive day. In the morning we were really fast in the wet and it was the best feeling I’ve had in the wet with the Ducati. In the afternoon, it was an important session: we tried the new fairing that puts more weight on the front tyre, one of the two problems I’ve had until now. In general it was better: evidently there are negatives, we lose on the straight. It was a great test, we have to try different settings to see if we can make a big step forward.” Source link
