Hoping the old man can manage a podium today!!

Dovi down on the second corner of the race. Zarco took him out

I’m starting to dislike Fabio. Not sure why. Might be because he’s French.

And MV went backwards (again)

NOOOOOOOOOOO!

Congratulations to Fabio for the win and to the Zuks! I really like how Mir is racing. One more lap and he would have given Fabio nightmares.

Great job by the Pramac boys. The Factory team should be looking forward to having these 2 guys next year.

Disappointed with the Factory Yamahas. It was tough to watch Rossi in the gravel. I have no idea what happened to MV. He dropped down to 16th!! It’s bs if he blames the bike when the other Yamahas were top 3 for most of the race.

You might want to correct that.  ;)

Zarco crashed into Dovi after he reacted to Petrux’s twitch

I don't like him myself. Has nothing to do with nationality.

He seems slightly less arrogant than JLo... slightly.

He's not my favourite. Calling yourself El Diablo is like calling yourself Super Tough Guy Hercules Unicorn Wizard.

Rossi in comparison stops on the warm down lap to pick up a guy in a chicken suit to promote his buddy Ozwaldo's roast chicken shop. Now that's class!

Don’t get me wrong, MM’s ego can barely fit his paddock, but Fabio just rubs me the wrong way. Once Rossi went down, I was hoping that Fabio would make a mistake to allow Mir to catch him.

+1
Of course they all have egos, but MM can take the piss out of himself. Rossi, Jack, Edwards, etc are all guys you'd have a beer with. A guy trying to tell the world how badass he is gets a smack in the mouth pretty quick.

Would be great for Suzuki to win the championship.

Danilo caused the crash. He almost hit Pol, the rest was a chain reaction.

No way to know since he crashed, but Dovi’s start from 17th to, I think 6th at turn 1 was awesome.

It was 10th.

Joe Roberts had a good race today and finished 5th.

Four rider domino effect.

If you run that frame by frame, I don’t know how Danilo stayed on his bike. Zarco took a really hard hit to the head, like he was body slammed to the tarmac.

I've not looked close, did he bump Pol?

He did. If you freeze frame it at .38 you’ll see it. At .39 he’s almost down and his right leg is completely up in the air. MM style save.

Dan said front to rear tyre contact at speed.

I did that once in a while on dirt bikes a loooong time ago, def recommend against it.

Dovi would have no luck if it weren't for bad luck.

Any bike on it's side is like a torpedo locked on him.
