    yup, A;though Pecco was matching lap times a few laps in, so maybe if he can get off the line and keep it together... AM said that first lap was pushing real hard heh

    Yes, very interesting lol

    And then the limits are sooooo slim.. a few mm of wet paint can lose you a race when you're seconds ahead.

    Reading about the start, Marc knew if 10 riders followed his move there would be no penalty. The guy is a master of the racing game in every facet.

    He's one of those annoying people, got skills, brains, talent, seems like a decent bloke, and got the looks.

    At least Alex still got second lol

    So, if you change your tyres you dont start from pit lane, you rejoin and do a ride through penalty, so everyone got it wrong:

    MM did get that wrong but I think his actual strategy was to get the race restarted. 9 riders had to follow him.

    Apparently not, according to Crash... not even 10 followed anyway, like half a dozen. There was chaos, Vinales didnt have a bike on track, others were running around...

    MM has a history of this though. There was a race he went out on a soft rain tyre, told the team he'd be in after one lap for slicks, came in, swapped and won by 13 secs. Crutchlow said "I saw what you were doing but it was too late to respond you F&(*&^*^&^" heh

    To be fair, it looks like a damn slippery track in the wet withthecar. Good thing it wasn't for the bikes. Really.


    Heck just sunk in the ironing that Marc fell off in light of pre race shenanigans.

    I had mentioned to a mates when I saw grid that it looked like Bags was falling apart like an Italian motorbike (ok so I added that last bit just now). Good to be proven wrong. Maybe it will give him the confidence to take the fight to the Bros in Qatar.
    Didn't Jack do well?

    That was crazy at the start. At least everyone knows the rules now, but they may need more changes to stop it happening again.

    Mav trying to find his bike was hilarious!

    Yes, well done Jack. First non-Ducati ( there should be an award at each race) and way ahead of the next Yamaha.

    That was a bad mistake by Marc, not sure why he was pushing that hard as he'd opened a good gap.

    There is argument that MM has an issue when it is too easy.. clearly the dude is always thinking about what's going on apart from just getting the bike around the circuit - everyone else is sitting on the grid and Marc is working out a plan to get into everyone's heads. 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
