Good to hear Miguel Oliveira may be back racing at round 3, MM will miss it as he's still recovering from his injury, he certainly won't be missed by me. Oliveira travelling to Austin ahead of Thursday medical test The Portuguese star is set to return to action at the Americas GP if he passes a medical test after picking up an unlucky Round 1 injury
Not sure any within the ranks of the racers miss him, it would have been interesting non the less to watch and wonder if he can regain some form.
When you've missed two out of the first three rounds through yet more self inflicted injury and you have your own test rider describing you as an arsehole on a bike i wonder when the penny will finally drop lol... Marc Marquez is an “a******” on the bike and his “impatient” style means his rivals must be “careful”, says Honda test rider Stefan Bradl. Bradl, who tests Marquez’s bike for Honda, told Servus TV: “I think he overestimated himself a little bit, he wanted too much. “It's a typical Marc problem: that sometimes he wants too much, more than is really possible. “In my opinion, he is still the best motorcycle rider in the world, but the bike is still far from where he wants. "Given his vast experience, he is too impatient. Marc is fantastic - or something goes wrong. “I don't want to say that rivals should be afraid of him, but they certainly have to be careful. “Pardon the expression, but on the bike he is an a******." Marc Marquez’s rivals warned: “Don’t be scared, but be careful, he’s too impatient” | MotoGP | News (crash.net)

Bastianini ruled out of the Americas GP The Ducati rider is still recovering from a shoulder injury picked up in the opening round of the season After completing a few laps at Misano with the Panigale V4S, the Ducati Lenovo Team rider underwent a further check-up in Forlì at Dr Porcellini's clinic, who confirmed that Bastianini will still need a few more weeks to fully recover from the right shoulder injury sustained in the Portuguese GP.
Not trying to be a prick, i think Sam Lowes is going to be a great commentator when he retires. Good to hear him alongside the BT crew while the big boys go out for the first time, always speaks a lot of sense
Finger crossed it rains later always makes it a bit more interesting when the championship leader has to go through q1 Good to see Fabio back up there. Frankie back where he’s found himself too often as well. I wonder how many times he’s scored more points than his team mate when both have finished the race. Must absolutely fry your head.
Not sure how I did it but managed to mirror BT Sport from my iPad Air to my 55", 8K Samsung TV. Awesome Andy
Good to see a mix of manufactures and riders in the top 10 at the end of day 1. Qualifying and the Sprint race should be exciting tomorrow.
The condition of the track is pretty poor in places and if it rains, it’s going to be a crash fest. Andy
Fantastic performance by Pecco, but what a disastrous day for Jack, but he'll still fight like hell in the sprint race.
Q2 Results, an astonishing ride by Rins, without following anyone unlike the Marquez brothers, and great performance by Fabio too.
