Not sure how long this will be up. Bodywork came off. That right ankle took a beating.
https://youtu.be/3PggQNxTEGo
Issue with the bike. Apparently it sounding like it just shut down mid turn. I guess Lorenzo is taking up Pedrosa's mantle.
That ain't buffing out.

Bike locking up mid corner.
Ooohhh nasty. He'll be doubly sore.
That was a nasty tumble for Jorge.
MM looks pretty darn comfy out there right now [roll]
'You go on track and it looks like the bike has more grip… but why? I don't know. Yamaha don't know!' - Valentino Rossi
https://www.crash.net/motogp/news/906903/1/rossi-more-competitive-we-don-t-know-why
Lorenzo is done for the weekend. Can't say that I blame him.
From the onboard, engine just went Buuuuhhhhhh as the back end was coming around.
He does have tremendous highside ability, it's remarkable.
Emmett described the Yamaha as a Goldilocks bike.
It's just nutty, like Mav and Rossi forget how to ride then suddenly remember, then forget again.
MM just crashed on his last lap in FP3. That puts him in Q1.

Jackass! [beer]
Go Jackyboy! Or should that be Jackieboy? Dunno! Lol!
It'd be great for him to finish a race and get a podium.

Jack 10th. Bummer.
Great race. Like 8 riders bunches up. MM pulled Dovi's move on Dovi in the last corner. MM also matches Lorenzo in terms of wins all time.
I was hoping MV was going to try to get into the action, but he seemed content to just sit back and watch.
Rossi was also there throughout most of the race. Even Zarco, so Yamaha kinda showed signs of life! Good to see 3 different manufacturers on the podium!
Oh hell to the yeah! Slicing and dicing that last 5 laps. I could see my boys eyes getting bigger through his visor. [clap] [bow_down]
That was amazing to see Rossi's bike spin the tire and wiggle coming off one of the corners, followed by both the Duc and the Honda driving past him like he was parked.

Too much traction control?

Not enough traction. He used up his tire just a little too soon.
Whereby he was messaged "Set mapping to - Party Over" or "Set mapping to - make the beast with two backsall, tires baked"
I'm still astonished at how this can happen.
I'm convinced that next race they'll be in the shyt again, no idea why or how the brief flash of speed disappeared.

I'm not sure where it came from in the first place. :-\
