Nice work from Pol, Taka and Mir!! Zarco will be starting from pit lane, but he’s still the best Duc on the grid. Maybe the factory teams should switch back to the GP19

Read Jack hurt his shoulder.

Another make the beast with two backsing red flag. MV is lucky

Yamaha will need to apologize to their riders again!

Poor Mir! He had a commanding lead and now, like Pol last week, he’ll need to fight this out again.

Suspected brake failure with Mav jumping off at 130mph.
BBQ'ed Yamaha.

I feel bad for Mir and Taka if they lose out. Mir was gone and Taka seemed to be on track for second. We’ll see

W... T... F

Happy for Herve :D

Noted Jack nursing his arm after the race. Good job.

I’m sure MM decided to take the next 2 months off cause he knew that none of these guys want to win the championship.

Again, poor Mir and Taka. Dovi and Fabio are within a point in the championship.

Holy make the beast with two backsing shit!  :o

That was how I reacted from MV’s ejection through the last corner

 Bail out, bail out!

I bet Jacks bleeding about that DNF.

Mir was on Marc's planet. No one could touch him.

Pol knows exactly how he feels.

I don’t understand why they decided to keep the used medium front on Mir’s bike. Did they use all their soft allocation?

Not sure, haven’t seen anything in print. He’s not happy though.

My understanding from the vids is he didn't have any more tires.

Yes like Jack last race. Run what's left over. They weren't the only ones. Luck's involved as who allocates tyres for a red flag?

Another look at that awesome last lap.  [clap] The Power of Orange  [evil]
Hervé dropping the F bomb was classic.  ;)

Mir has a point! Pol was into that last corner too hot and blew the track limit. he should be penalized that spot and Mir should've been on the podium.
