A few pissed off front runners after #99's effort.
You'd never go hungry with Nigella Gaz.
If it weren't for flashbacks...I'd have no memory at all..
Shit accident but I don't think JL was over the limit. He was passing MV. Ahead MM was passing AD, AD parked the bike to try and cut back on MM and JL was already committed too much to not hit him but gave it a shot anyways.
Meanwhile the luckiest rider MGP has ever had avoids the whole thing and fucks off into the distance. Game set match lol.
Only guy I saw that might have had something for MM was being held up by the other rolling road block. Frustrating to watch Rins but fun battle as a result, brave of Rins to try and barge big boy Petrux off line.

i watched the incident quite a few times...Dovi looked like he has overcooked it slightly he was slightly backing it in,and MM took the opportunity to take the iside line.You can see that MV was gaining on AD too and JL was gaining slightly on MV.Dovi then starts to turn in a bit and JL is on a collision course so he squeezes the fron t brake just a bit too much.
It was a real pity that that happened,for this race AND the championship.MV looked really fired up and JL already in 4th...what a race it could have been!.
Bodes well for the rest of the year tho.
Coupla things from overnight: Somebody noticed an extra two finger lever on the left handle bar of a BSB bike and asked the question. It seems this is so common it's the new normal. Many GP riders have this now, some WSB riders including VdM, and now it's in BSB. The riders don't use the clutch much between the start and the finish of the race so the rear brake lever has moved to the left handle bar below the clutch.
Simon Crafar posted this pic on Twitter. A Japanese gent took exception, and someone took exception to his exception, so Simon deleted his post. Not before it was preserved for posterity though. On a technical note, I was wondering if they were actually kamikaze pilots, they appear to be wearing parachutes. Still, it was funny.

Mick Doohan had the thumb brake after his leg injury early on and I remember Aaron Slight tried it on the RC45 and others have since so the principle isn't new but perhaps using a full normal style lever is.

There has apparently been some discussion about Crutchlow's faulty tyre. I missed that so far, but Ben Spies posted this picture of a tyre that he raced to the finish of a MotoGP race. "Nobody said we were smart."
