Not sure how many people caught it, but commentators noted how many engines the Yamaha Factory team have used out of their allocation.
Already both George and Vale are on engine #4 out of 5.
Does not mean that the 4 are toast, and they might actually be cycling them perhaps.
But HRC team are only on engine #2.

Hope it does not affect how they go or if they have to dial back engines or have failures.

Not at all really. It took for Bautista, Crutchlow and Hayden to bin it for him to get that 6th place. Can't see another top 6 finisher doing it anytime soon. And that's what it'll take I reckon. Think OAB can actually just send me my carton of Steinies now though. Unless Lorenzo has a season ending injury...it's over.

Not much passing going on...but a great display by the top three regardless. Lorenzo bullied Pedro into turn one second race in a row. Not sure if Rossi would've beaten Crutchlow if he'd stayed onboard...may've made for a good scrap. MM had a huge moment and an awesome save late in the race. Bring on Assen! Oh...and should we start moaning about how good the Yamaha is yet? I mean...two races in a row? Not fair on the Honda guys right? Pfffft.

Marquez came within a whisker of promoting him to 4th!

Reckon. At first I thought he may've clipped Pedro...but he didn't. Just tucked the front. Was an epic save I reckon.

He makes a lot of amazing saves. Looks like he's kind of loose and light on the bike and just goes with it... dunno, beyond my pay scale.

The scary thing for the others is that he appears to be able to learn as he goes...and is only gonna get better/faster. It looked to me like if he'd have got past Pedro...he may've been able to chase down Lorenzo. Looked a lil to me like Pedro was holding him up a lil. Kudos to Pedro for riding defensively enough to keep him at bay though. Something Lorenzo didn't do to MM at Jerez...

Yep. He's got the pace of JLo and pedro, bike skills like Stoner and racecraft/hunger like Rossi... scarey.
