    What are your guys thoughts on the Repsol Honda MotoGP team?

    Seem quick at both Sepang and PI - with both Marquez and Pedrosa posting quick times and doing decent long runs.

    Both Rossi and Vinales reckon they are sandbagging as Marquez is saying that the bike is not what he wants and their is "something missing between throttle and engine"

    Teams will do anything to get the upper hand and psychological warfare is nothing to these guys!

    A few years back Rossi had the edge in this and had most people beat before they hit the track but these days people know they can beat him
