    You'd never go hungry with Nigella Gaz.

    Indeed. And Fenati finally got the result he is capable of. I hope he continues for the rest of the season like that.

    Although a mile away ! The bikes do everything or did, but are missing about 30 hp.
    Ducati has plenty and still more than Honda by the looks ?
    I rate them as even now, just MM had the wrong tyre so lost out on drive.
    If MM was on the soft I don't think Dovi would have won just going off where MM was losing time.

    Shame Miller biffed it, would have been interesting to see if could have got Quatararo. Boy was Fabio getting fucked on the straights looked like he was on a Moto2 bike.
    He deserves that factory bike

    Are the factoru Yamaha's any faster is a straight line though? Certainly didn't look so with VR vs JM.

    Fantastic race from flag to flag, a genuine battle between two of the best out there.

    I think MM lost when Dovi dicked him on the first lap. From then Dovi harried him and didn't allow the well-known Marquez 'escape and make a gap'. It is not often you will see someone "do a Marquez" on Marquez and force him to do someone elses race strategy.

    Nah, a good conspiracy theory would be that Dorna was getting worried because all the fan bois are bitching about how the racing is getting boring so they flicked Honda a few mil to get him to have a medium instead of soft tyre on and see if he could slow down to make a race of it while he is well ahead on points.

    Although Honda have improved their power output the Ducati still seems to have an edge. The Austrian track is a series of drag strips which tends to favour the Ducs, thus their successes there. Be interesting to see what happens at Silverstone.

    Thats what I'm thinking pritch, Duc the best bike and Honda have the best pilot...
    All the Yams are down on straight line, factory or not.They have been for 2 or 3 years.
    Roll on the next one,you'd have to bet MM will work on tyre choice for that. ( Goodnight Dovi, he's just too good.)
    Still waiting for Yamaha to fix their problems,I thought I read a new engine was coming for 2020.

    If you check out the analysis page Dovi and Marc did a best top speed exactly equal at 316.7km/hr. The best the Frenchy did was 302.5km/hr and Rossi 306.8km/hr.

    Those be the numbers.
    FQ was only on that podium by waiting till he saw God then jamming on the brakes. Real brave riding.

    Its interesting that the Yams are having both wheel spin and top speed issues, I would say they are losing out both in power and putting it to the ground making it a double cluster fuck.
    Any of you boffins think its down to the firing order of the L4 not allowing better traction? Or is it all down to crank weight? Seems inline 4s aren't the way to go in the modern motogp era though going by how many races won by Honda and Duc vs Suzuki and Yam since the Mitch switch

    Zarco saying see ya later to KTM. Going to be interesting to see where he lands and hopefully this will bring Olivera into the factory fold, he's earned it

    Silverstone will be interesting for Yamaha with what is said to be a smooth and grippy track. I am praying for a dry weekend there. It may favour Ducati too??? I want Dovi to take it to MM again and give us at least a slender hope the Marquez reign will not last until 2030.
