Hopefully KTM will keep bringing the opposition now that the Ducati top speed advantage isn't as apparent. Are tyres usually a problem at Mugello, can't remember?

Rins going well so far. Bags with a 3 place grid penalty for going slow.

Well, not great was it.
Moto2 race of the day. It is not often I say that.

that was dull. Agree M2 was the only intersting race.
BTW, saw a clip from the Redbull rookies, rider swerves hard onto the main striaght. Smashes into others. Could have been really bad. So far no penalty.

Alonso is killing my interest in Moto3. Surprised David Emmett hasn't been bumming on about him like he does about Acosta. He just seems a cut above almost everyone else.
Moto2, made a change to see Roberts win and with some determination. Not sure what Ogura is up to but says he doesn't want to go to Motogp until he wins moto2.
Good Lord that was a boring Motogp race. One of the worst I've seen. Really wish they'd slip Marquez a faster bike to really shake things up. He wasn't winning that by any means this afternoon. I'd be pretty embarassed if I was a factory KTM rider though. Getting beaten almost every week by a rookie. Miller is definitely gone from the team but I think he should be gone from Motogp.
Honda. What a disaster again. There is no hope.

Not the best of Moto GPs, i was looking at the scenery more than the race, Mugello is just a beautiful circuit.
I agree about Miller.... he barely justified his place on that factory Ducati but on a less competitive KTM he's going further and further back, i don't know what his contract situation is but i'll be amazed if he lands another top seat.
Marquez looking more ominous with every GP, definitely smoothed things out and looking less ragged, i thought he might have struggled early season then start to get it going but all these rostrums while Pecco and Jorge slip up here and there have kept him in touch.
He hasn't won a race yet but the other two will be looking over their shoulders at him like he's the hitcher.

Miler is doing his best for a 'by mutual consent' exit before the end of the season to me.

Moto 3 was ok from a Veijer point of view, another lap and he'd have got Alonso. I was willing him on just to break the Alonso monotony.
Moto 2 wass good, as stated. Seems like Roberts has had loads of coaching and that basically they've taught him to get his elbows else and not give a fúck. The coaching McPhee never had. Great race really.
And what can you say about Moto GP. Bad weekend for Martin, but if thats as bad as it gets he's still well in with a shout for the title (and for being in red next year).
You can tell its contract time when Morbidelli starts appearing in the script.

We talking McPhee or Skinner? Skinner can't even win in BSB, not rating him as a potential GP talent when he's getting beaten by people like Haslam and Ryde.

Diego saying Mcphee didn't get the coaching but it was Skinner in that team last year.
