Gotta feel for Rossi, happens to all.
Vinales cruising to the title.

Great race, hell of a last lap. Pressure got to Rossi in the end and I wonder if anything is made of Vinales running off track a lap earlier (my bet is yes). Amazing efforts by second and third place. Lovely words for Hayden by Dani too.
Laughing at the endless horseshit Nick Harris sprouts as each lap passes.
MotoGP Reddit is hilarious to read as is Currently; I never realised so many people are mentally unstable.

Thoroughly enjoyed that race and Zarco continues to impress.

Balls of steel and a worthy winner. Honda looked like shite all weekend and had a terrible race - OTOH Ducati went into a barrel sucking thumbs and came out sucking nipples.

That's the angriest flat-6 I've heard in a long-ass time, and almost unrecognizable from how it's sounded in WeatherTech/WEC competiton to date.
Guess I know which onboard I'll have on the second screen all race long.

What a balls up from Ducati. MM might win this by 20s at this rate.
Its beyond belief, it really is. Feel for the folks that have paid good money to be there.

I don't understand why Ducati prepared their second bikes for more wet weather when it was nearly dry at the start and the weather looked to be improving. It' spretty simple, it's barely wet, you are on wet bikes, you prepare for the other state. You don't double down.

Its basically because Marquez had bigger balls and had confidence to come in earlier and ride better on the slicks in conditions dryer than others pitted.

Last year you could at least say the rider might not have seen the pit board but this year they can inform the rider with a message on the bike's display, so there's not even that sorry excuse.
The track was not a bit quicker on slicks, it was massively quicker. As the first guy on slicks clocked the first split everyone and their mother should have been pitting on that next lap, yet we had guys waiting 3 laps more, 30 seconds. Marquez reached the leaders after 3 laps having had basically a free pit stop, and Zarco still stayed! and Ok you can say he can afford a gamble, but the official Yamaha and Ducati guys? They might as well stay home.

Rossi recently admitted he has NFI when to pit in flag to flag races...Ducati called Lorenzo in too early and everyone else fumbled around except HRC.
I enjoyed the race; marc marquez and HRC made a gamble which at first backfired and utimately fixing the issue by pitting early and having a bike set up for dry conditions won them the race. If anything changed, Marc and HRC would have looked like fools...when you get it all right, you look like a hero.
The only issue for me was listening to Nick Harris declare a race winner every 3 seconds in the early laps and then crap on about did Marc outfox his rivals by slowing down before pitting.

According to the muppets on Reddit, Marc is a dirty cheat with bully moves. Twats.
Sublime race and a great battle for first place.
