Like Toseland said......THOSE LOWES BOYS ARE CRASHERS! He does know his stuff. Raul did that with a busted right hand a week Friday ago which needed surgery as well. He won it by some margin as well. Over 8s ahead with 2 laps to go. 5 races left and Gardner has 39 points lead. There is only him, Fenati (yes really) and Quatararo who have scored points in every race across all the classes. I cant see Gardner losing this.

For Fuck's sake Aco. Save for that, a great moto3. Regular decaf moto2. Slow burner main event.

Really impressive ride from Bagnaia there, and very pleased to see Marc keep it clean too.
Not very pleased to not see McPhee at any point of the weekend... extremely discreet.... at least Lowes gets 0 points in front of the camaras...
Moto3 is becoming a high contact sport now! As said, Pedro was very lucky with Garcia's crash. The Spanish press are reporting that Guevara is accusing Garcia of not being very fair, seems like Garcia thought there should have been some "implied" team orders.

M3, good stuff. Binder can't keep up with the others. Been givien Oncu a hard time to erratic lines and mabe going for too hard passes, but has seem to calmed down a bit. This has resultet in him running up at the front for most of the past races. Really good showing today. Though Acosta showed poor sportmanship when he smiled will glee at Garcia's crash.
Artigas was unlucky getting taken out like that. So predicitable that Rodrigo crashed.
Moto2. Once everyone has their spot in the line, not much happens. It is a s**t show. Open the class up, 2 cylinder 500cc and crap tires.
MGP. Actually skipped through a but. Last laps were epic. Great battle. Pecco was more MM than MM

I like the retro moto3 stuff. Those last few 125 years were brilliant. I don't mind a few cheeky moves where the risk is low.

Wow....I think MM did everything he could there! i think he did too much. trying to go through too clean, running wide and letting pecco back through relatively easily. rossi used to be the master at doing just enough when making a move, not compromising his own line, fully compromising theirs, shutting the bike down and giving them nowhere to go.

Is Marc more averse to contact than before maybe? I wonder if he has finally realised that he is not immortal after all!

Rossi was a master of the slow corner block pass. He never did it on balls out corners it was always the low risk stuff where even if he'd fluffed it and fell he'd get back on.
The technique seems to be initially pass clean then let the brakes off. He was already past them but always added a dose of inconvenience. I just think the generation he was racing then weren't as prepared for it and never adapted. The Pedrosa/Stoner/Lorenzo generation had studied him and it didn't happen as much.

Bit of a rucus on Twitter as MM was over track limts before he overcooked it and went really wide. If it had been grass he would have come off. Don't doubt for a second that MM will be back properly, but he couldn't get the better of Pecco in several ways.
