Fabio not so fabio today.
Was that My Boy in 3rd!
Jack had a great race, but he screwed the pooch trying to get past Maverick.
Aleix made the pass of the race to get by Brad and Jack.

[koko64]

Probably A Espargaro's ride of his career. His last lap was brilliant.

Fabio came from a long way back. He was being over ambitious. Isn't that what racing is all about?

I liked it better when the riders settled stuff between themselves. The FIM will make motogp a parade.

I agree & think the penalty is out of line with previous decisions (if Nakagami's various offs & collateral damage are racing incidents, then this was??), but I could do without the wailing and rending of garments from the Yamaha garage. Fabio needs to let it go ASAP and get his focus back on the future. And while I'm at it, I'm bummed that Jack Miller seems to be getting pretty whingey in his later years, complaining about far smaller stuff than he has no problem with when the boot's on the other foot. He did walk back his initial comments about Binder (who was rightly impressed by the pass Aleix put on the two of them) when he saw what happened on video, but I'm starting to miss the scrappy Jack that I hold in my admittedly selective memory.

Maybe I'm also reacting to the brain dead reality TV show that is modern F1 "racing" with its High School Musical level teen angst from everyone involved & race stewarding that's more about manufacturing drama than ensuring good racing, and am overly sensitive to any signs of MotoGP continuing down that nasty road.
