Superb well pleased , it hasn’t Been same without the alpha leader , as said he’s on a shit bike just look at the results of all the other Honda riders absolutely nowhere since , as said the only one who was in Marquez world before his accident was Fabio , he was the only one who could give him a run for his money and I think Marquez was worried about him, nice to see the human side of Marc as well today , brilliant
I have to eat my words, Glad for MM but in the interview he still sounded doubtful about other races, this played into his hands given he's clearly a dominant force around the track and it's predominantly left handed which will help his right shoulder. Hopefully his recovery continues and this isn't the flash in the pan win due to the above. Great race for Oliveira again, he was the only one taking it to him, and there were a few laps where I thought he was going to catch MM, but he did the smart thing and bagged 20 points. Yamaha... other than Fabio, it was a shocker for them... I hate to say it but when Rossi is the 2nd Yamaha there's something amiss there... Maverick needs to go, there's a lot of talent queuing for his and Rossi's seats.
Think this race will have sealed Vinales fate . Factory rider at the back of the grid and no progression in the race. Not good for his future surely ? That win for MM will be up there as one of his best due to everything he’s been through I reckon.
dead right. Time for Yamaha to move on, new blood required. The Rossi brand is going to be tarnished if he continues. I do wonder if, despite results, is FQ being under estimated for his talent. Not convinced the Yamaha is at the same level as Ducati or KTM and think maybe the results are mostly down his abilities? It would be great to see 6 or 7 new riders next year. There are several in MGP that are just taking up grid space.
I’m sure the commentators mentioned MV was in a two year contract so unless there’s a poor performance clause Yamaha might be stuck with him.
I guess if they got desperate enough they’d pay him off, I’m puzzled though as why he’s gone off the boil so to speak? Liking the KTM’s starting to finish higher up the food chain though, but then I’m biased in their favour.
I’m not sure anyone is underestimating FQ, now he seems to have his head straight he looks like the best of the rest. I hope he brings it to Marquez next year but I know where my money will be
I find it very strange that F. Morbidelli who won couple of races last year is also struggling on the bike, from this perspective (although I agree MV needs to go or sort himself out ASAP) I believe there are some issues at Yamaha...not necessarily the bike itself.
I expected F.M for the championship this year based on his second place in last season, also with Rossi picking up the odd silverware cup.....just goes to show that nothing's as it seems inlife.
He would have been a good shout, I guess we'll never know what the actual package is that Morbidelli or any of them have, he could be carrying an injury that we don't know about. I guess in some ways they (SRT) have punched well above their weight so far, race wins, 2nd in a championship so maybe this is the reality?
FQ is an extraordinary talent. But his mental fragility is questionable. For now anyway, he may become mentally strong and spank everyone week in week out. Time will tell.
Good to see MM get through these period and back on the top step. This may have helped him massively from a mentality standpoint, and lead to his return to domination.
I don’t think we will see 93 on the podium again This season. His damaged arm was a passenger in this race so that helped him a lot. So unless the race is wet he will be hindered for strength and some tracks will absolutely punish him.
Also what played into Marc's lap was the freight train being held up be Aleix Espargaro just as he decided to pull the pin. By the time the others got past, Marc was up the road and could control the race.
