MM does manage the lead very well. He passes half the field in half the race, but only wins by a couple of seconds.

MM's race reminded me of what a younger Rossi used to do if he fluffed the start. Win from the back in a way that demoralized the opposition. That has to be demoralizing for George and Pedro now. Mind you, bike development may have turned away from their preference in set up.
MM could have had a big margin but backed off and clowned around at the finish line. He had plenty in hand once he got away.

In some ways this all over again:

That was an awesome display of total dominance which I'll never forget. Rossi was at the height of his powers. It actually came to mind when I posted previously, so you picked right.

Yep, moto3 neck to neck fight to the last corner with some elbow muscle pushes is simply amazing to watch.
