    Funny how the commentators are saying the KTM RC16 worked like a dream last weekend. But actually you could see the rear tyre losing traction and making the bike shake like a bastard, all over the place.
    Just BB and his skill, and/or the ability of the chassis to absorb that, that got him through.
    Pol's bike was a bit sketchy on the front, but MO's bike was pretty sweet.
    IL's front end was not going well either.

    Interesting comment about the atmosphere in the pits following Barcelona losing 2 - 8 to Bayern Munich. Dorna and most of the Spanish teams call Barcelona home. Some of the security in Austria are German, all are German speakers.

    Wow Moto3 was amazing, an incredible race. But my god Hafizh Syahrin's crash in Moto2 was horrific. Luckily just bruised and sore but man that was sickening. MotoGP next, hope it's more like Moto3 than Moto2 thank you.

    Damn I spoke too soon. One of the scariest crashes I've seen in MotoGP.

    Is Zarco going to get pinged for that horrid crash ?

    Nice podium for Mir he kept his head right to the end and took the opportunity

    Good result for Binder again.

    Not sure how Hafizh is , hope he's ok.

    A bit odd seeing the air show and parachutists prior to the event despite there being no spectators. They were doing it all for our benefit. Damned decent of them really.

    After the incidents in Moto2 and MotoGP there are several riders who should offer up a little prayer of thanks. That might have even been close enough to cause Rossi to rethink his retirement plans.

    I'm not sure that is in the FIM rulebook
    "If you can make black marks on a straight from the time you turn out of a corner until the braking point of the next turn, then you have enough power."

    I'd be happy to not watch that crash ever again in my life. I almost closed my eyes.

    Hard to say whether Zarco is at fault at all, I'd say he's entered too shallow in the left hand kink and suddenly appeared in front of Franco who was on the limit braking.

    I've often said there is nothing more dangerous than someone changing line in a braking zone and that's exactly what this track layout promotes with that left kink sharp right hander in such close proximity. The question is whether Zarco should have done the overtake so late? As per the rules no but its certainly an on the limit move to make as it brings you so shallow for the right hander and across the braking zone. One of the riders said (think it was Jack) "I've thought about a move there" so I'm thinking most guys wouldn't want to enter that left hander that shallow on a motogp bike so would roll out and have a crack into the corner on the brakes.

    Either way it shows how dangerous that track layout is with the speeds these guys are doing, without Red Bull being in its name it wouldn't be on the calendar. I'm just happy that the crash didn't cost any lives as there would be no surviving that if it had hit Rossi or Maverick.

    Dovi doing as Dovi does again, wonder if Jack had more medium front tyres available if he'd have been able to give the old dog more of a run, good ride by all.
