Front row Q2 in the dry.
1.MM
2.Dovi
3.Lorenzo

Marky looks on fire.

Incredible race!

Dovi!
JL 4th

MM almost screwed the pooch with that last move. Dovi needs to kick him in the nut sack for that. What a race.  [clap]

Ducati on the rise. 👍🏻👍🏻

I read interviews with Marky and Dovi. Both gave classy and good natured responses. MM said Dovi deserved the  win because when Dovi was behind him he was comfortable, but when he was behind Dovi he was on the limit. Ominously MM said that he can feel the limit with the bike again. Gotta like the kid.

electricity went out at minus 2 laps . . .

Ohh [bang]

but somehow I knew the ending

Was the hand gesture Dovi gave Marc right after the last corner move the Italian salute? ;D

I'm thinking it had multiple meanings.  :D The first would be similar to my reaction as I came flying out of my chair. WTF kinda bullshit was that'.  ;)

Yep, plus 'in your face!'

https://youtu.be/0eHTNdsL6MA

Oh', and this is how you announce a race.  [thumbsup]

https://youtu.be/ld_qxPGXvp4

So impressed with Dovi!

Hammer and tongs with MM and outfoxes him in the last corner!

They nearly dropped a heart valve or two! 😆😆
Love the passion! 👍🏻👍🏻

One helluva race.

The pass of the race was when Dovi blitzed past both MM and Jorghey. That was glorious. That last "move" was BS. make the beast with two backsing idiot could have taken them both out. MM has come a long way, but shit, he better not fall back to his old ways.

I think Dovi has developed some kind of 6 O'Clock radar system, he's been getting torpedoed from behind a lot recently.

He said in the interview he just knew to leave the gap and cut back under as closing it would have got him hit. Yeah, the voice of experience. A skill set developed from having Douchenoni as a team mate last year.
