There’s definitely a chance of rain all weekend.

Well that had some drama.

Over 80 crashes so far over the weekend across all classes.

Go Jack. Not bad for two long lap penalties and melting wet tyres. I didn't think he would hold off Zarco on the dried out track. It was impressive how he held the gap. Pretty cool to have two Frenchmen on the podium.

It would have been better to see Pecco up there!

Great job Jack!!

Baggy made a good recovery though, from way back in the field. [thumbsup] 1/4's arm surgery held up well. MM's luck has well and truly run out, I thought he was good for the win.
Petrucci also did well considering how slow his bike was in the dry.
An absolute disaster for Suzuki.

McPhee finally stayed out of trouble, and scored some points finishing 4th. Hopefully he'll continue.

Jack. “Let’s make this interesting” I’m gonna run off the track before swapping bikes, and then I’ll get busted for pit lane speed, so I have to do 2 long lap penalties. Oh, then how about the sun comes back out and I walk away with it on wet tires.  [clap] [bow_down]

All in the script, but there were no fingernails left in Australia. ;D

The changes in conditions really tested the teams preparations and the bike change drills. 1/4 nearly grabbed Mavericks bike. I didn't figure on the wind changes too, the wind got so bad a gust blew a pit lane barrier into the pits, then at other times it was a still sunny day. Reminded me of a spring day in Melbourne.

You couldn’t come up with that script for a movie. That shit was epic!

Has to be rewatched to absorb it all I reckon. :D

Absolutely. I’m watching it again right now.

Jack said he didn’t believe the double long lap penalty when it showed up on his screen.

"I always get speeding tickets in France"  [laugh]

 [laugh] [laugh] [laugh]  Then he said something along the lines of, these aren’t the ones I want to get.
