Zarco 8th, Lorenzo 17th. Oh dear.

MM was acting up in Q. Then he got launched to the moon.  :o First time seeing someone try and ‘run it out’ on the landing.

"Marc clearly tried to get into Fabio's head and he hit his head," said Sepang team manager Wilco Zeelenberg. "I hope Marc's not injured, but he tried to get into Fabio's head because he knows Fabio is fast."

Jacks building some consistency.

1/4 is the threat for 2020 so it makes sense the MM is out to mess with him. I think he should ignore him, because this shows he rates him. MM should focuss on his game and improving that hard to ride Honda.

Go Zarco, well done son.

"And that, kids, is why touring around playing games to get a tow is a bad idea."

[cough]BULLSHIT[cough]

 ;D yep, as Jack said, bit him on the arse.

He was being douchebaggy in FP 4, as well.

It's funny, it's not like the air temp or the tarmac temp were low.
That's interesting that the tires cool off that quick.

Looked like a closed throttle highside.
Didn't MM just do one of those recently?

And Quartararo did the same corner, and had been doing the same yo-yo pace.

I wonder if its the special durability compound for Sepang.

Do they crash each other out in the race?

AM just won the Moto2 Championship. MM was out on the track celebrating with him. Good stuff.  [clap] [clap] 🏁

My Boy!

Bravo Mav.

I’d like to thank Jackass for the early battle with MM, that allowed Mav to get away. Too bad it cooked his front which caused him some issues, as well as getting run into twice.

AM 73 Moto 2 World Champ.

He's racked up Moto 3 and Moto 2 championships, no small achievement.

He'd be pretty down. I think he chose softer compounds? Im guessing the Petronas boys did too.

I think only Dovi, Jackass, and the Fish chose the soft front.

Lot's of people ran the soft rear.

He was on a soft front.

You should all check out the moto 3 race.

It was carnage.

Watching it now. That first wreck was brutal!  :o

Running man at 50mph. Must have shocked his left leg with that first step, but maybe that instinctively stopped an initial face plant. I've really grown to like MM, he's such a positive, happy, but very very tough little fella.

He does have a point. His teammate ran into Miller and he didn't get a penalty. I know that Zarco ended up crashing while Miller did not, but the same penalty should have been applied regardless of the outcome.
