Lorenzo looks comfortable in spite of the mixed conditions. Has the new fairing restored some of his mojo?

yeah mate, that sums it up pretty well I think.
(Had to turn the sound right down tho, yapping pom commentators.)

Rossi fans are surprisingly quiet on FB comments section today.

[ellipsis]

VR...fucked things up but still made fourth...maybe it may have gone better or even worse with a different scenario...

Funny that. But he did do well to get up as high as he did considering. Now that MM has his tail up, I think he'll be hard to head off now. Coming up to a lot of tracks he goes well at.

Remember in Valencia 2015 he started from last and finished 4th place? That shit was crazy. Thought he was racing against AIs on Gran Turismo video game.

[ellipsis]

Dani stayed out a lap too long also but he said his reasoning was that he didn't know if the dry was for real or whether it would get wet again...I can only imagine the dilemma in the head for them all...a risk whatever way you go...MM hit the right decision button and won out overall...another GP that came down to the fickleness of the weather...

[Autech]

MM is the luckiest rider in the paddock by far. He's proven it time and again he effs up with the wrong tyre n still wins. Bastard! Good work by Dani though to take 2nd, he carved em up shame we never got to see him n MM duke it out though.

Well that was weird. Weird but interesting. Nick Harris pissed me off much more than usual: banging on about MM's master plan, saying Abraham was in the gravel when it was Bautista, and making random predictions. About the only thing you can be sure of is that his predictions will be wrong.

Glad the long break is over, looking forward to the next one.

[speights_bud]

I suspect MM expected the soft to last a lot longer.

However with the tyre shitting itself almost instantly I think he had a "Fuck it, changing to slicks can't be worse than this situation" moment on lap 2 and it paid off.

He probably planned to change early, but I suspect not that early...
I bet Honda have a pretty neat algorithm which calculates expected lap times etc for wet/dry track and tyre combinations which gives them the ideal lap to change etc given some parameters for track conditions. Given electronics are one of their specialties I find it hard to believe they wouldnt'.

I thought about sending Harris a "congratulations on your retirement" tweet for being a useless cunt. Just to make myself feel better

Yeah Nick Harris was extra annoying, as if he took entire tablet of viagra.
