    Looks like times have changed again.

    Moto 3 starts at 12.

    Watching moto 2 warm up now and it's carnage.

    Yes, it was a good race. Not quite up to last year's, but that must be the first time since the Stoner reign that anyone has opened a gap on the field. Zarco is obviously out of practice at backflips, but it has been a very long time!

    Very surprised that he elected the soft he was already fast on the medium.Couldnt believe how easily Binder took him on the last bend. I think his his front tyre was stuffed too

    If the race was one lap less we'd all be exclaiming how masterful he'd been.
    Don't you look at my accountant.

    100%. Another example of the thin line between being a hero or a zero.

    dead right. If mere mortals rode those bikes we wouldnt see the performance gaps we see when motogp riders push them to the limits

    A few seasons ago when the Honda was actually good, didnt MM do something similar - stayed out on drys when it was raining? Or was it stayed out on wets when it was dry? Maybe both.. I remember everyone thinking he was nuts though

    Another pretty exciting sprint race ... Bagnaia must be getting a little concerned.

    What a fantastic race! And Moto3 as well. I'll concede to James Deuce as well, I just don't see Maverick getting that elusive win.

    Hell yes - what a dogfight! Binder a little shortchanged considering if he kissed the green earlier it'd be a warning. rules i guess but ....

    Maverick is a topic on his own - we've all seen both ends of the spectrum from him... he's apparently had a real shit upbringing and might be carrying a bit of baggage. On sunday though 3 aprilia riders reported the bike trying to serve them up very well done ... https://www.crash.net/motogp/news/10...mental-clarity

    Maybe a side effect of the aero package. Sitting them in a pocket of still air.

    RC30's simply try and fry your balls. Which is not uncommon with V4's.
