Marc Marquez seems to be a bit rattled again. Expect some rash moves tomorrow. It's like he thinks the force of his will can defy physics.
If it rains I expect FQ to finish about 8th and maybe an element of doubt will creep in if FB wins again.

Strange crash fest of a Saturday really. But I agree that most of the crashes looked like "bad luck" except Marc, who looked like he was over-riding the bike, again.
Expecting some good racing tomorrow though.
Viñales looking good on the Aprilia for only his second weekend. Frankie isn't going to do anything, nor is Dovi.
McPhee was unlucky to have damaged the bike so much in his off. He had fron row pace and won here last year....

Maybe FM is one of those 99% guys. Rides 100% on a 99% bike and then 99% on a 100% bike. I'll give the benefit of the doubt as I reckon he's probably another that's back before his injury is truly healed. ACL is one those cripplers as well. If it goes again he's pretty much finished.
I still wonder what MM would do on a Ducati but maybe nothing given his strength problems? Lorenzo said it was a physical bike. Speaking of Lorenzo, he needs to hit the gym and do some leg work fucker has thinner legs than me.

Massive crash for Deniz Öncü earlier and it was good to see him walking back to his pits later on, just a bit of a limp. I thought he would have busted some bones in that crash. BTW, Oncu says he can't remember 30 miniutes before the crash, but say he didn't loose consciousness. Even talk of him riding tomorrow. A complete farce if is allowed to ride.

Seems ok to me given Joe Biden is in charge of the US.

Just seen Herve being interviewed say he trusts the doctors completely (they prevented his other rider from racing earlier this year) and that Oncu shouldnt have put I cant remember the crash post on Instagram.

So, will Acosta keep it cool and go flat out for a win or safe points for the championship? Is there such a thing as a safe 8th in Moto3?

Cut to slo-mo of Fenati dancing his front wheel over the curbs. Cut to his pit box, beaming smiles and grins under face masks. Back live to Fenati doing somersaults through the gravel.
He was winning easy, but got caught out. Helps Foggia out with 5 extra points.

Quite a boring race all things considered. Even the overtakes were all fairly undramatic. I guess FQ got lucky with the weather but who knows Bags may have fallen off anyway.
Vinales was pretty disappointing. Maybe AE is actually quite good?

Yeah but he's a current year GP winner. He's set the yardstick himself by winning. I'm guessing Aprilia were thinking if AE could get 3rd then Vinales could get 1st.

Its not often that I consider the main event to be race of the day.
