  1. Imagine leading into the last lap but finishing 5 without making a mistake on that last lap.

  4. Will give that a watch while we're waiting for the rain to stop tmrw lol.

    Thats twice in a row Martins tried to clear off now and twice hes either crashed or blown his tyre (that front looked horrific btw!). I wonder if he will take that on board in Thailand and beyond.
    Having said that if he keeps it upright tomorrow in the sprint he must be beyond odds on favorite for the win.


    On a side note wtf was going on with Scott Ogdens bike in Moto3, is it haunted?
     
  5. Probably the maddest last lap ever seen in Moto GP?
    We've all obv seen rossi take gibbers out etc etc but its always been a two or three horse race, this was five side by side with half a lap to go after everyone had pretty much fallen asleep.
    Unless ive missed one?

  6. When they said he was one of the few riders on a soft rear tyre I thought it might be a mistake and he did his best, but it wasn’t good enough in the end.

    Clever riding by Peco.

    Very happy for Zarco. Well deserved.

  7. Wow, what a race. Very happy for Zarco, glad to see the backflip again.
    I wonder if Diggia had shown form earlier in the season would Gresini have sewn up their contracts before getting a chance to sign Marc?

  8. Nightmare for Jorge with his 26 lap tyres on . Zarco was a lot younger last time he did the backflip. Amazing to see it again.

  9. Casey and Hodgson were saying that basically up until Japan Ducati/Gresini were insisting he rode with the same settings as all the other ducati riders/shared data. Since then theyve gone completely the opposite way with DiGiand hes riding the duc almost as well as anyone right now.
    Who would have though different riders prefer different feelings on bikes lol.

  10. Also interesting to hear Casey talk about the terrible amount of pressure the factory team put on their riders and how they could definitely improve.
    You can kind of see it in Pecco most weekends and maybe why Enea's still not back up to speeds we know he can get to yet.
     
  11. Thats top level sport globally, you think Harry Kane doesn't live under the same pressurs?
