I got the info re Marc from after the flag. I thinks pecos remark were also after the flag
    There were a lot of crashes over the whole weekend, including riders who don't crash often, and mostly the front going suddenly. Half of the Ducatis crashed out of the race, and how often does that happen?

    Maybe they just need a better front tyre. It would be nice to see racing for more than a lap at a time.

    MM said in one interview I saw that he was cruising, waiting for his time.
    He was completely unsure how he lost it and had to have a look at all the data with the engineers to try and get an answer.
    AH well Happy for AM and to see Fabio have some sucess. Long season to go yet

    Pecco was saying that the front is vague.. and they suspect that's why MM fell too.

    Interestingly AM's times were pretty much what Pecco did last year which suggests to me that Pecco isnt actually faster than Alex, and Alex isnt as fast as Marc.

    Testing times were interesting... MM was .3 faster than next fastest and Pecco was 1.5s down. Probably not much to read into that though.

    Yes, my comment about Marc may have been unfair. It did appear from the replays that he came into the corner slightly wide and fast, but he clearly expected to be OK.

    Ducati seem at a loss to help Pecco, and we're well into the season now. Mav has done well at 2 different tracks, but the KTM needs some upgrades to beat the Ducatis.

    On the track yes, but that's not what the results say. He was 4th on Sunday at Jerez.

    Maybe I was right about Marc's crash after all:

    If you use Motomundo, they are looking for donations to upgrade their server. Better protection against DDoS (Denial of Service) attacks is the main reason.

    dodgy forecast for le mans from the three weather sites i looked at - fine today then patchy sat and shite for sunday. whoose good in the wet? our jack if he stays on, Zarco n Fabio, mm of course...
    Do they still do stunt displays etc like way back? there was a guy at le mans when i was last there that put on a hellava show - some of it real high speed with a young lady all over the bike... quite scary to watch, but not as scary as Sarron having a 4th gear front wheel high side at T1

    Le Mans... All time lap record to MM.. Pecco is not too far behind, but Fabio is even closer. The sprint should be interesting..

    Overtake of the season! Fabio just did not see it coming.

    Well, that would have to be one of the most confusing, crazy and unpredictable motogp races I have ever seen!
    Well done Zarco, My heart was in my mouth for those final 10 laps or so, I was with his team silently screaming at him to slow down, and he just kept going faster and faster! He deserved that and what a fantastic life long memory for him!
    MM did really well to keep his all or nothing tendencies in check and bring it home in 2nd. That new bloke Aldeguer is proving to be very impressive and a leading light for the future.
    Poor Bagnaia, seeing an image of him looking super depressed in the pits was hard to see. I hope he finds what he is looking for really soon.

    I know I have put the boot into Maverick for years now and frankly I thought he was ill suited to the ktm, but I was wrong.
    He is in the best vein of form I have seen from him for many years, and he is being consistent with it. Well done Maverick for issuing me with a hearty fuck you and you don't know what you are taking about
