Thanks for posting the updates. Looking forward to an anything can happen race in an anything can happen season.

Looks like Ducati has a really fast rider in Pecco.  Zarco is very fast as well!
MotoGP is getting interesting.  I'm hoping when MM returns he will have some real competition.

It appears the Hondas are difficult to ride fast.

And everything else besides the Aprilia seems to be much easier.

Seems strange that Honda could attract any talent at all given this sort of performance.

Pecco just threw away the victory :(

Bloody hell. Crap day for Pramac.

MV won the battle of attrition. Great job focusing on maintaining the lead.

Mir on that Suzuki is ridiculous. If only they could qualify better.

Pol inherited 3rd from Fabio, who didn’t run through the long lap penalty. Pol did a great job keeping Fabio at bay and frustrating him.

Dovi is still the championship leader, but even if he doesn’t “deserve” it.

It was heartbreaking to first see Jack drop out and then Pecco’s crash.

My Boy!  [clap] [clap] What a crazy race! Somehow after all that Dovi still holds on to the points lead.

Mav deserves some good luck, the ledger still ain't square. I thought he might have copped a streak of "Gibber's Luck", so I'm glad it's broken.

Speaking of luck, Baggy said he didnt understand why he crashed and the data gave no clue. He said he was controlling the race comfortably with the same inputs each lap and this was a concern. Jack's bike sucked in something through the intake and bogged, he looked fierce in the garage!

Jack’s highside in warmup didn’t make his day any easier. He was in some serious pain.

Pramac's Luck!

Dovi could do a "Bradbury" and win the championship  [laugh]

Fabio Quartararo insists he didn't receive a track limits warning prior to being penalised, and losing a podium finish, at the end of Sunday's Emilia Romagna MotoGP at Misano.

 [coffee]

I saw Jack go wide and thought dang it, well he'll gather it back up and claw some places back.
Was not to be.
His bike snarfed up someone's tearoff?
I've always wondered about the start, they're all pulling tearoffs.
I'd think running over one longways while trying to nail the start on a 300HP bike would be exciting.
Perhaps it's like Dovi often says, it's the reality.
Just don't run one over, it's that simple.

And Pecco was robbed, he crashed all by himself but he was still robbed.
Then he's limping out of the gravel on his hurt leg.
Twas just wrong.

The dice between Fabio and Pol was fantastic.

Fabio had so much corner speed he looked like Nori Haga half the time.
Pol would get that KTM up off that obliterated edge of the tire and it'd run away and then Fabio would run him down again.

Last pic is of the tear off he swallowed up.
