    not if you regard the soft -hard continuum as in the past.These new fangled compounds seem to have different propertiees to what we are used too.And the soft-medium -hards are all very similar .I cant get my head around how softs can cope with the heat better tho......

    Dovi is certainly using his smarts at when to use the Duke power at the crucial part of the race good on him.
    Twas Folger, bike got some decent air time. Poor bastard, air fences save lives.

    What happened to Espargaro binning the KTM after the finish line? Weird.

    With Pirelli, the soft rubber works at a higher temperature. So when the track temp is up a bit, they work better for longer. It seems totally wrong I know, but the harder compound overheats the surface rubber and starts to tear up before the carcass has enough temp in it.

    We found the best way to combat that was to use the blanket thingies over the warmers and get the whole tyre and rim too hot to hold onto. Works ok so long as it's not a windy day and the rim doesn't cool down between leaving the pits and the lights going out.

    Either that or a mode selection fail.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    I think fuel starvation is the likely cause, but how it happened is up for debate.

    MM looked pretty relaxed and in line compared to his usual style..i wonder how it would have turned out.Dovis pass on VR was very assured.He just stayed in VRs way,I think VR sorta let the brakes off a wee bit thinking he would eventually be able to get back in front.Dovi is really showing he has confidence in his own pace

    MM vs VR vs CC for 3rd, with much elbows and awesome battling.

    It's on Yamahas and tyres but still doesn't answer Drew's burning question. In fact it reminds me of the old thing, "If it hasn't enhanced your understanding, I trust it will at least have added breadth and depth to your incomprehension".
