He's old enough to know his limitations, but can get up there so to speak ;)
How good was that Superpole race [clap]. Thanks for sharing Sir.

Maverick put it on pole at 4:48. He came into the pits and did a bike swap at 3:00 and went back out. Morbidelli beat his time, then he laid down the record lap. 8)
Congratulations to Morbidelli and Pecco!!!
I was disappointed that the old man couldn't get on the podium with his kids. Mir put a move on that last lap at a spot that takes some balls.
Dovi finished deep in the field, but is now the championship leader, go figure. I'm telling you, no one wants to win this championship. MM would be leading by 100 points if it wasn't for the crash.
Morbidelli is an absolute gentleman, humble and a good sport in the same spirit as Nicky (RIP).
Yep, it highlights Marc's brilliance.
Baggy did well with a crook leg.
Maverick has a race day gremlin that won't go away. The second I saw the pre race issue on pit road, I knew he was done. Bagnaia is an absolute beast. The pass Mir put on Rossi was brilliant. Oh and Dovi now has the points lead. :o

I can't remember what he was running. I only remember Mav being the only one with the hard rear. Rossi changed to the medium after the warmup lap.

I love it! He cracks me up.
I've gotta say, MM riding with a bit of plumber's tape and a few deck screws holding his arm together, that's pretty epic level head case.
Honestly, it's not that surprising to me that he did it, it's disappointing that there was nobody in his circle that could sit him down and talk him out of it.
Doohen's biography calls it, "no ordinary madness".
Bagnaia using a cane/brace to walk around the pits. (Rossi did that before) Then getting on one of the most evil MotoGP bikes and running a spectacular race. This is not normal human behavior. Athletes have always amazed me as to how much they can endure and still perform at or near their best.
Baggy has a big bag to race when he needs a grandpa stick. [thumbsup]. I hope he gets the factory seat.
Great editing on the short clip.

I don't see how they can't offer him a factory ride.
Reports say he's the front runner over the older Zarco. Baggy to the factory team and Zarco to Jack's vacated seat at Pramac.

Zarco is very talented, but he does have a knack to try moves that end up with other riders in the gravel. Pecco is Italian, that alone should be enough for Ducati.
Ah yeah, I forgot about the passport thing. Very true. Baggy no.1 rider and Jack a solid no.2 with Ducati's youth policy.
I'd say that little interaction with the 3 Wisemen pretty much sums it up.
