Marquez continues to amaze. Crashes in Q2, dislocates his shoulder, gets back to the truck to pop it back in, and qualifies on the second row. [clap] [clap] [clap]

 [clap] Tough little bugger.
Anyone know how Jack stuffed his qualifying?

4th crash of the weekend.

I was hoping Jack and Zarco would be up there.

Jack has great speed. he just needs to keep in upright.

Wow! Where to start? First, Dani Pedrosa, even though he’s not the most outgoing guy out there and some still have strong feelings from 2006, he was truly a class act.

Pol!! KTM finally on the podium.

It was great to see Ducati, Suzuki and KTM on the podium instead of Honda and Yamaha.

The actual race was a mess from start to finish.

Yeah baby! I love me some rain racing! The power of Orange, and the boss dropped an F bomb for good measure.  [clap]

Did all the crashes from both parts of the race exceed the number of finishers? That must come close to a record number of crashes in a race, anyone know the stats? Some were able to repair bikes and make the restart. That was a tough days work for all and a torrid weekend for some.

Lots of crashes late on today.

Yeah, what was going on, other than a whole bunch of dudes on new rides.

https://youtu.be/FNoCz6ao03I

I think as the sun started to set the track got cold...quick.

Said dudes on new rides found the altered limit quickly.

Folger destroyed the Yamaha. The marshals couldn't even find a place to grab it.
