Perhaps his concentration just drifts a fraction when he is not having to come from last, or wrestle a beast. It's possibly Pecco's only chance lol
    The last 2 races he followed Alex for many laps, which gave him something to do. It's not the first time he's crashed out when leading, although COTA seems to be an easy place to crash. Even Zarco did!

    I expect Acosta's manger will be busy once they are back in Europe. This must be the worst KTM for some time.

    Where do you reckon Costa will go then?

    I'm sure he'd like a Ducati - it would have to be Gresini, but who would be replace?

    Honda and Yamaha still have some way to go and Pedro is in a hurry. Otherwise Aprillia but we won't know how fast it really is until Martin gets up to speed.

    Given the limited options he could do worse than getting in LCR alongside Zarco who seems to be pretty good at nudging that Honda in the right direction imo

    Gee you wouldn't say that last year. But you might be right.

    Always thought Morbidelli would get nerfed for Acosta, but hasn't he got back on track given a 2024?

    Marc mistake isn't so surprising as that track has multiple curves in s that compound especially at that sort of speed. Has to happen sometime.
    Pity after such a chess game at the start.

    Not LCR unless they let Zarco go, which seems unlikely. The other LCR seat is for an Asian rider. Marini is off contract next year, so it could be there. But that would be a tough call on him.

    Apparently MM was standing beside his bike at the start, so Peco knew something was up. If Marc runs you run. Lessens his advantage or equals your disadvantage.

    That is the rule Martin didn't follow when he pulled in at Italian GP instead of doing what Peco does, and almost cost him championship.

    So, I think Acosta is going to stay with KTM. His only other option really is VR46 to get a decent bike, and that will be a bit tricky - although if VR wants him, he's in I guess.

    Well. . . Any Dooclatterie now is a good one and 26 engines frozen to 24 spec. All that changes is support.

    They all seem to crash, Peccco has now finished 6 races in a row which must be close to a record for him.

    IIRC the factories have to nominate exactly which seven engines they will use during the season and those engines are sealed prior to the first race. Concessions relax some rules and may increase the number of engines up to nine.

    too many rules imho. The teams should be free to use any combination of past models. The tyre pressure rules are also a negative in my opinion.
