Not sure what Garrett was thinking, but he’s not making any friends. Great race for Locatelli, leading the first half of the race until Rea walked him down. First podium for the rookie.

Some pre-race shenanigans after the warmup lap. Little bit of chaos for the teams. After another warmup lap they finally got it started. Chaz took Garrett out on lap 1. The usual suspects out front.

Redding couldn't turn and had to let riders pass. Riders he passed because he went on the green. Embarrassing if Ducati and he can't set a bike up to turn. That shouldn't be so hard.....

Rea said he let Razgat go. He caught up with him, but didn't want to risk anything. Sensible, but boring?

I like Davies' results. I think it's cool with a podium noob.

[ducpainter]

Toprak triples, 3 2nds for Johnny, Alex and Scott finished 3rd in the 2 final races.

Johnny has a real fight on his hands this year. Toprak doesn't give an inch. Nice to see some real racing.
