Just saw F4 and the Q's
Wow, Millers crash, lucky to walk away from that,
Zarco, rode the whole Q1 on the same tires.
An all Yamaha front row. Rossi looking better.

Holy shit.
That first incident, Dalla Porta took some there. Hope he's okay.
As for the other incident, where do you start?

Well talk about snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. Rossi looked genuinely gutted after that, felt a bit sorry him.
At least Lorenzo beat cunt Jack Miller. Hopefully Miller will get cut after this season as he's truly an arse.

I was rooting for Rossi there. The only positives from his crash was that it stopped Huewen's Doctor wankfest. And I imagine Hoppur already had reams of shite about Marquez cracking under the pressure and how Vinales needed a two race ban for his Playstation corner cutting on the penultimate lap 😀

Yep glad Maverick stuck that lap record on the last lap as that stops any talk of the penultimate lap stuff. Shame Rossi crashed as it was shaping up brilliantly, he looked so despondent as without that mistake he probably would have had it. How the fuck he can be that hungry and that good at his age is astounding. Dani wasn't messing around either! The Moto3 incident could have been an awful lot worse, glad they all got back after that one.

I've not seen any racing yet, apart from a few clips on FB, but I saw the Miller crash and that looked bad, lucky chap. I was at Snetterton and saw a BSS pileup at the end of the fast back straight when someones engine blew. Bikes and riders everywhere but no injuries. I think the Moto3 crash must take the most number of riders going down record.
I was following the MotoGP race on live timing and crash.net updates. 1 lap to go when Rossi fell the crash.net site crashed, thought there must have been some coming together and 1000s of people logged on.
The top 6 each have 1 DNF, except for Marquez 2. So at least it sort of evens things up a bit. Pedrosa on the podium from 13th on the grid and 2nd in the championship.

Dani wasn't messing around either! I saw a clip of his overtake on Crutchlow, bumped him aside and sped onwards.

I've often said I like Le Mans and recall the conclusion is good racing on TV but poor trackside.
The main event was fascinating and you couldn't fail to feel sorry for anyone that DNFed.
Maybe they should run the moto2 after the MGP to try and even out the exiting traffic? We have some good moto2 years, but not that recently.

Ahh, shame for Rossi. Nice to see him giving it everything.
Moto3 crash was nasty.

MM is the first challenger to double DNF. 3 times and I reckon it's over for him. I still reckon there's another DNF in MV though.

Have to say I was rooting for the old boy, great ride but a lap record by MV on the final lap....can't argue with that. Haven't seen the other races yet.

Great MotoGP race; shame for Rossi, but it's a fine line these guys are riding and he over stepped it twice in that final lap. You can't question his commitment and desire though. Congratulations to Zarco, but the cheating Frenchman was using softer tyres, so in reality he only just scrapped a top ten ;-) Amazing ride by Pedrosa from 13th; Cal was out of the reckoning today and I doubt he'll be too put out with Danni's pass. MV; class! He kept the pressure on, forced the old man into a mistake and took full advantage.

My money is on Rossi losing the lead in the championship this weekend though. Rossi was putting too much pressure on himself to keep the lead imo. Shame, as this may cost him the title. Happy for Zarco though. And nice to have a season without MM running away with it.

As above, I was gunning for Valentino and was gutted when he came off. Rookie errors though. He lost his shit and Maverick didn't.
