    Been doing some figuring.
    The championship is over from Giannantonio down. Marc has 455 points and there are only 296 available. Even if Marc doesnt finish any more races that group cannot catch him.
    If Alex wins everything from now on and Marc is second its all finished after the sprint in Australia
    If Marc wins everything its all over at Misano even if Alex is second in every race till Motegi and then wins everything else.
    If Bagnaia wins everything and Alex is second and Marc is third then its again over at San marino and Pecco would come second in the championship.
    Bagnaia has to outscore Alex by 53 points to pass him in the championship
    Bezzecchi has to outscore Bagnaia by 32 points to pass him in the standings.
    Acosta has to outscore Bagnaia by 65 points to pass him in the standings.
    Acosta has to outscore Bezzecchi by 34 points to pass him in the standings.

    On a Motorcycle you're penetrating distance, right along with the machine!! In a car you're just a spectator, the windshields like a TV!!

    Not much to add about the race. Bez said that they probably ran the wrong tyre, but he was nervous about it being too slow. Bastianini's crash was scary. I read that the chicanes were added to make the track safe, but that one didn't!

    The Dorna commentators reckon the plan is one more year at Balaton Park, then move to Hungaroring once it has been made safe for bikes. Long queues to get in due to over the top security.

    Funnily, the riders seemed to enjoy the track, maybe because it was something new?

    There was a comment on paddock pass to day in regards to the difference in persona between Pecco and Marc.
    Marc didnt even have a mobile home until 2019, he slept in the little tiny rooms at the garage because he spent all his time with the mechanics and so on. He was seen at a gathering with his team, and everyone was clearly looking to him, not because he was "making them" so to speak, but because he was clearly their leader and they looked to him with respect.

    Pecco, on the other hand, is introverted, not unlikeable but he isnt just a "likeable guy" who people want to follow.

    It seems like Marc works with the guys to make stuff happen, to make the best of what situation he is in, but Pecco seems to say "I want it to do this and that" and if it doesnt he struggles.


    This weekends races should be interesting - I think its been 5 different winners in 6 races?

    I thought they said 2015 for the motorhome but it is of little consequence. It is intersting to me that it is becoming apparent that there is much more to MM than we have previously known

    Yeah sorry, 2015

    It is interesting, but some years ago I watched that trophy hunter documentary and I noted something there in that.. I think I even mentioned it on here - not that I am an expert, but there is just something in his interactions and the way people are around him that made him seem not like a complete AHOLE
