    I was surprised he passed Bagnaia so early in the race, as he normally manages his tyres better. But he looked much faster, so probably thought he could pull away and win.

    It made for an exciting race though!

    I know a lot of people thing Puig is a prick, the way he comes across on TV it can seem that way, but I always felt there is a reason for this.

    He wants the best for his riders, his team, and himself.

    I read years ago that it is just as well there is sport. Were it not for sport, people like Puig and Suppo would be trying to conquer the world.

    Great ride by John McPhee, 22nd on the grid to first. He's usually fast but either through bad luck or bad management fails to convert the speed to a place on the podium.

    I hope he can find a ride somewhere next season. His win might help but there can't be many good rides left.

    Yeah, he was great, but he can't ride in Moto3, he's too old (as per the regulations) and he's too old for a team to take a chance on him in Moto2. About the only place he could go with transferrable skills would be WSS.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    Yeah, you're more optimistic than me. I hadn't got past BSB.

    Oxley has written a great piece on why motogp riders are so inconsistent. He quite often asks and answers, questions you didn't think of directly then desire to know.

    You have to register but it's not a paywall and worth it.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    That's why Vinales will never win a championship. Also, Bagnaia needs to stop bringing that fucking worry wort of a girlfriend to the race track. She just looks sick, all the fucking time.

    Bagnaia had the whole damn family there. He was supposed to clinch the title. Next time?

    I kinda hope so. He's managed to bounce back from some issues in a commanding fashion and seems to be a nice guy at the same time.

    I hope Bagnaia wins it, but he hasn't always coped well with pressure.

    It must be a few years since Valencia decided the championship - was it the year Dovi came close?

    Mat Oxley reports that Franco Uncini, 1982 500cc World Champion, is retiring as MotoGP Safety Officer. He is to be replaced by Ezpeleta's nephew.


    I have questions.

    Miller vs Quatararo for the win IMO.
