Gran Premio Motul de la República Argentina 2019 (SpOiLeR)

Rossi cut Dovi’s nuts out with a great pass.   Morbidelli crashed my boy out on the final lap.  . MM is gonna run away with it.

Watched live timing , so I'll watch a recording tonight. Good fight for fourth ? MM smashed em again there.

MotoGP didn’t really even bother airing much of MM just cruising along at 8 tenths faster than the rest of the field. That was just insane.

Thankfully there was a better fight behind him.

Good on Rins for bringing the heat on Sunday. I enjoy watching him race.

Can’t help but shed a tear when I think about Zarco just turning laps way in the back of the field.

MV's start was bad, but JLo's was terrible. The rookies are makings for a good show, but watching some of the vets become backmarkers is painful. How long do you think daddy will continue to bank roll Abraham?

JLo confirms that a race start with the pitlane speed limiter engaged is largely unsuccessful.
Very fortunate that Zarco didn't hammer into the back of him.

Cal pushed the edge of the envelope, resulting in a severe flesh wound rather than a more appropriate paper cut.
Everybody lost out.

Somehow Argentina can't get a MotoGP race off the grid without some sort of haywire.

JLo ....

Someone qualified behind him?

Cal was robbed.

Very literal and technical infringment considering no obvious advantage was gained. A warning after the race should have sufficed imo. I think the telemetry showed the clutch was fully to the bar and Crusty rolled a cm or two forward while balancing in his toes.

[Speeddog]

He gained lots more from (legally) acing the timing than he did by that silly little roll.
The side view video is pretty good, he does roll, by my eye ~2".

In this case, the punishment was way past the level of the infraction.
IMO, if the punishment was a "long lap" for a no-advantage jump, and an advantageous jump still pulled the ride through, that would still be deterrent enough.
Or maybe "front axle ahead of the box before the lights go out, and you get a ride through".

Problem is trying to remove the human judgement task, how do you define "advantageous rolling" in a black and white manner......

How do they do it with track and field starts?
