Impressive one lap pace from Martin, impressive one lap pace from Marquez. Not so impressed by the championship front runners.

I've been hoping for a Zarco win too for a while, but I think it's time Martin converted a pole. That lap was immense.
Aleix on the deck for trying to keep up.
Quartararo being a bit of a drama queen?
Still think Marc is the dark horse for the win.

Yeah, I’d like to see JZ get at least one win in his MotoGP career… Not sure MM has the pace for a podium(I hope he can), but it makes it more interesting with Bag n Quart down the grid. |

Marquez's main problem seems to be like Fabio in that his bike is nowhere near the Ducati. His top speed in qualifying was the same as FQs but for some reason they aren't banging on about it like they do for FQ.
If rains I reckon FQ will do a wicked witch of the west and that'll be it for him. Marquez for the wet win, Zarco nearly wins.

M3, wowzers. What a way to win and so sweet that McP took it.
M2, I skipped a lot of it. Gutted for Ogura but well chuffed for Dicko.
MGP, better than average.

M3 - McPhee gets a well setup bike and goes from 28th to the win. Amazing. Overtook 4 in 1 corner when they all ran slightly wide.
M2 - Minor mistake by Arbolino gives Ogura a sniff of the win, he goes for it, and crashes out. Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. But at least Dixon was on th podium again.
M1. 3 oldish grey Italian men going even greyer. Decent race at the end, Bagnaia held it together. Miller was 17th after lap 1 but finished 6th. A bad Q screwed his chances.

I forgot to add that I feared for the worst in that Stefano Nepa incident. Not that it looked okay as he got carried off though.

So who is going to spill the beans on McPheegate? I hate it when they do all this 'if you you knew what went on' shit. Just tell us or don't fucking mention it. Good ride for McPhee but it sounds more like he's off to WSS than Moto2.
Ogura...what a clown. Boring race otherwise. Don't expect Dixon is on the Fernandez christmas list though.
Motogp wasn't really that interesting once Martin had almost inevitable crashed again. A mild bit of will he/won't he tension in a couple of places but it wasn't a classic and it's relevance only came from the championship positions rather than the racing.

M3, class from McPhee, his inside lines were so good.
M2, nodded off but enjoyed the Dixon scrap. Ogura, wtf!
Mgp. Qutters riding the shit out of his yam, but not a good race to watch.
altt takl through the season about aprilia, but looking pretty weak.

Obviously chuffed for McPhee, nice way to bow out of a championship I suppose. From what I'd read he was having trouble gettng a WSS ride because of his lack of recent form, so that should open a few doors for him. I wonder even if a last minute Moto 2 ride might open up... wishful thinking I know.
Ogura surprised me, but I guess it surprisd him too! The Spanish commentators were on Dixon like he'd walked into a primary school with a Kalashnikov! I didn't think it was that agressive, and since when are riders not supposed to fight with others because of their position in the championship table? Good to see Dixon getting his elbows out, the results don't come to the nice guys very often (ref; para. 1 re. McPhee)
MGP was a bit dull apart from the Quartararo mini-charge. Jorge M and Bastianini making Ducati greys feel good about their decision for the Lenovo team again.... Shame about Marini.

I caught the finish laps of the M2 and I just had a feeling about Ogura, so 9 points in it and winner takes all the final round.
Great ride by FQ, did the best he could. 23 points between the top 2, FB just needs to keep an eye on FQ and not make any mistakes. I think Tardozzi & Co were panicking when Bezzechi started to close on 3rd place.
Martin....oh dear, I think Ducati definitely made the right decision for 2023.

Martin is the Ruben Xaus of motogp. I know Ruben Xaus was the Ruben Xaus of motogp at one point but him and Hodgson left little impact.

Well pleased for Mc Phee, spent bloody ages catching up and even with a half lap left i thought 5th was it for him, amazing stuff, i really hope he stays in GPs.
Dixon showing some consistency that could well make him a contender next season.
And a nice bit of edge already creeping into next seasons Ducati team, lets hope Fabio and Marc can stick it up em .
