    He has won prob about as many races in a row as with the old mentality, the difference is age and the above.
    He has certainly cleaned up this season. The stats are all thats required.
    He will unarguably be the goat if he wins titles this and next year. Much to Rossi's disappointment I'd guess??
    It is quite mind boggling to whitness TBH

    Never hum with the ho's it leaves you in a compromising position.

    It was interesting that Marc just didnt have that extra bit.. and you know what, I reckon if that was Rossi or someone else, he'd have not cared so much about the championship and might have just found that extra hehe

    No according to Marc its that Alex has more stronger points on this track. He said his plan from the outset was to follow, because he knew if He followed they would gap #3, and then he might have a chance to pass Alex towards the end.. but then he was too much on the edge, went wide and then just accepted 2nd.

    I've watched too many podcasts on it this morning already lol

    championship

    If Pecco wins both races this weekend Marc only has to score 9 points total and Pecco cannot beat him in the championship.
    If Marc wins the sprint its all over for Pecco even if he got second

    Its a bit more complex with Alex. There are 259 points still up for grabs. If Alex wins everything from now on Marc only needs 77 points total to deny Alex .Thats an average of 7th in the sprints and GPs. If Alex wins everything and Marc comes second Its all over after Indonesia.In fact Marc only has to finish 4th in the GP at Indonesia and thats it.

    Nobody else can beat him.

    ok boys n girls ... lets see if Bez on that Aprilia can do it again for the main race... i enjoy seeing an underdog having a good shot - plenty of underdogs are lining up too (how many ktms,hondas,aprillias and yamahas have we got?)

    Just shows though, that even when someone is riding out of their skin, MM still has .6 of a second more...
    Also.. dont boo him, it just makes him go faster lol

    Well, usually I'd agree.

    In the sprint he had more than Bez. But he crashed straight off, so maybe he didn't.

    Then Bin the GP, Bez made a mistake. MM looked like he was going to pull away. But Bez rallied, wasn't broken and made it back up.

    I think it was the most honest even fight we've seen this year. Bear in mind they have to ration out their tyre wear.

    I think he was going to pass Bez anyway, he was shaping for it because Bez was a fraction off line a couple of times - once he got in front, if Bez didnt stick an immediate pass it would have been the same result. I think Bez was worse off than Marc for tyre wear, or at least control with the tyres in that condition. They were trading fastest laps of the race so there cant have been much left.. I was thinking how the hell is Bez still doing that.. Pretty amazing end to the race though eh?

    Match point in Japan isnt it?

    Yes Mark is only three points away from a position that he doesnt even need to race ie 5 x 37=185 ponts The gap is 182. After japan there are only 5 rounds left. They can draw,because Marc has the better record.
    I wonder after Japan if Ducati will let marc ride a gp 24 to compare to the 25. Maybe they will let Aldegeur ride the 25 in exchange? Alex probably wont be keen to swap until he is safe .He is 93 pints clear of Pecco .There are only 8 points between Pecco and Bezzecchi.Unless the changes he made at the test(helped by Stoner I believe) are good I cant see him holding on to 3rd from #72

    Finally watched the race. If anyone says MotoGP is boring, then they should watch F1 for the rest of the year!
