Tricky qualifying conditions…MM unlucky with the yellow flag, could’ve had a 2nd row start.

I have a love/hate relationship with those last man over the line situations. They are unpredictable but predictable if you know what I mean?
Ducati don't seem to be succeeding with who they probably put their money on.
AEspargaro will probably go backwards a fair bit tomorrow and I reckon MMarquez will probably take about 4 people on the first lap.
Ogden impressive. Even Dixon was.

Moto2 got messy but no serious injuries. I thought Dixon could do well on the restart but too keen. Roberts also started like a demon but kept upright, for his 1st win.
MotoGP - Quatararo back on form. So were the Suzukis until Miller put paid to that. Rins 23rd to 4th was impressive enough though.
Moto3 Scott Ogden was running mid pack in the second group for a while, 7.4s off the leader at the end was good.

I'm quite happy for Portimao to be kicked off the circuit now. Use Estoril if they must have a Portuguese race.
Moto3 was ok I guess, good run by Ogden but MotoGP was boring as fuck imo. FQ wins are usually boring. Also looks like Marquez ain't going to be a massive threat. He barely did better than when he was fucked last year.
Pissed off with that rain in Moto2 as Ogura looked good for a win. Dixon gonna Dixon. Only so much Ruben Xaus type nonsense a team will put up with. No use being fast if you can't recognise the limit.

Only saw the first part of m2, that was nasty. Ogura seems strong.
M3, really rooting to Sasaki. Good job by Ogden.
Mgp, This track is a bit tedious, but it was an ok race for once here. Rins carving through the pack. As for Mir / Miller, Millers fault, but Mir was never going to get that stopped.

I enjoyed Moto GP.
Miller needs a good talking to though. Rins fantastic.
Finally Yamaha have found a type of track which suits their bike (as long as its Fabio riding it), but it seems to be tracks which don't have long straights. Not many of those on the calendar.
The most entertaining part of Moto2 was the team bosses arguing with the stewards about the rules. Dixon had it on a plate after the re-start... Oh well.
Top Brit was Ogden. Moto 3 was a good race too I thought.

Finally Yamaha have found a type of track which suits their bike (as long as its Fabio riding it), but it seems to be tracks which don't have long straights. fabio was able to do what he did on sunday because he was the only front runner who had usable data. the yamaha hasn't changed that much and previous dry race settings are still relevant for him. the rest had half a sessions dry track time on brand new machines. marc said he didn't have a good feeling which probably got better as the fuel load lightened but honda need to give him a bike he can use and a team mate that contributes. not crash at the end of qualifying, then roll around on the floor for 45 seconds sulking under waved yellows and invalidating pole laps, when he could get out of the fucking way.

I have only just caught up hence delayed comment.
I think its a great track but do they use different camera placings to WSB?
Sake Miller. What a Rodney Plonker.
I feel sorry for Robbo. A win is a win, but a bit shitty for your first.
