  1. I dunno, I thought it got pretty exciting. It was slow till the last few laps but then it all kicked off. Lots of overtaking. Even Lorenzo advanced up the field, he did well. He kept Marquez at bay.

    It was a different kind of race. To their credit the commentators called it. It had a touch of cycle racing, everything happening at the end.

    Whatever you think the result doesn't get better than that for the Ducatisti.

    We need more of that. We were expecting more of that earlier in the season. It's a tragedy that Lorenzo took so long to get sorted.

  2. Saw an fb post earlier from a journo ex racer: give racers tyres that last 8 laps and tell them to do 21. That’s what you get

  3. Good point.
     
  4. Marquez is maturing. 2 years ago he'd have had the elbows out and bumping fairings on those last 3 laps. He's approaching things more now like a general classification in the Tour de France and only attacking when he needs to. Which is a bit of a shame because I preferred him as a raging nutter :)

    If he stays injury free I think he'll dominate for years if he fancies it. He's the Celtic of the SPL at the moment.
