    I thought it was a mechanical too...until I saw him putting his thumb up and waving like he was celebrating and not stopping the bike...then I was like oh shit he's counted the laps wrong.

    The only race bike I have ever had a win or crash finishing record on.
    In the early days of supermoto, lots of the other riders often tried each others bikes, not one asked to ride mine, cannot think why that would of been?

    Back on topic, Fabio - wow, just wow! That pace all the way to the end, simply phenomenal. I hope Marc comes back healthy next year and back to his old form. To see those two go head to head at the peak of their powers would be amazing!

    Yeah turns out there's a reason, the lap counter there is fucking stupid and different to everywhere else. Being such hot weather wouldn't have helped too...

    But.

    Aleix should have known better especially as a local, never felt more sorry for someone in my life. Fuck ups happen though and its not like he's used to getting podiums week in week out.

    Fabio, fucking weapon.

    Nakagami, dickhead.

    Ducati will never win a riders title with so many Ducatis on the grid taking points off each other.

    Also, Moto2 is awesome this year.

    Rather him than me.
    About 4 years i snapped my humerus.
    As they expected it to heal it was left ages in a hanging cast and not plated until much later.
    After they plated it, it was great but it always felt it was rotated 20-30 degrees from where it should have been, as i couldn't go palms down to 180 degrees.
    I was told by my surgeon this was from lack of movement and muscle contracture. but doing a bit of reading up now it seems that misalignment in surgery for the Humerus is very common. (malrotation of over 20 degrees was found in 27.2% in the IMN group (all patients had humeral head internal rotation) and 40.9% in the MIPO group (55.6% of patients had internal rotation and 44.4% had external rotation) https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-021-98040-6

    It's OK to disagree with me. I can't force you to be right.

    And the lesson today is, dont stop racing until you see the flag.

    Feel so sorry for him.. and he's sittin the pits with his wife and kids and his kids are crying in sympathy.

    But yeah.. FQ - the only dude who can catch him/beat him is MM 100% fit on a decent bike.

    We may never see that though.

    Yes it would certainly seem so huh. Another Spanish sensation.

    I felt so gutted for AE I couldn't watch him come back into to the pits.

    Two races in a row now FQ masterclass- This Race Simply brilliant.

    Oh Dear Aleix - I think every man and his dog feels for him today.

    The rest was a mess
    Taka- stupid and proved Rins point from last race.
    Quite a few Ducati's on their arse
    Miller and Morbid not good
    Andrea simply gave up.
    KTM cant find it for their riders.

    Still hope for MV

    FQ has got them all syked out. Pure brilliance on a track that doesn't suit.
    I starting to think more power might fuck that bike up TBH

    Secondly I thought that Aliex lack of the speed he showed all weekend was maybe tyres not so good.
    Interesting Millers comments at 5:48 here

    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!!

    Just watched the Mugello race ! #20 Fabio Q and the Yam brilliant....

    Sad for me to see the lack of crowds, down about 50 % !! Haven't been for 4 years and can't ever see me going again.... But they were wonderful years and I spent a shed load of money doing it...
    Lots of memories...

    Catalunya next Sunday for me on Ch 3.

    Still backing #20 for a second Title .

    You'd never go hungry with Nigella Gaz.
    If it weren't for flashbacks...I'd have no memory at all..

    200 euros for ticket entry might have something to do with it..not sure if it was just that price for race day.

    Yeah I think I paid about 150 Euros in the last couple of years and that was for the 3days ! (was 4days).
    Wonderful place with over 100,000 screaming Italians .
