Jack’s high side in FP3. I thought for sure he wasn’t getting up, yet he popped up and walked away.

Joan’s crash recovery was epic. Basically ran back to the hauler for new leathers and fresh bike.

Last 6-7min of Q2 was epic!

Joe put it on the pole again! [clap]

Jack bounced well and Mir hit the ground running [thumbsup]
Congratulations to Petrucci, AM and Pol!
That was another wild one! Petrux wasn’t gonna be denied today. AM who? From 18th to 2nd, great first rain race and podium for him. Pol getting another podium for KTM.

That was smoke from Jack's bike when it stopped. It was pit garage rage after that because both he and Petrucci felt their tyres really come in for a late surge while Dovi's tyres began to fail.

That's two engine failures for Jack, do you think the engineers are tweaking the electronics? There was a podcast about Yamaha's engines and how it was necessary to make changes in the electronics to compensate for overheating. Just thinking!

Anyone else think it was bullshit that the moto 2 race was started before Joe got to the grid? I know he had to start at the back because he had a problem with wheels, but it would have been nice if they had waited for him to get there?
WTF was that all about?

Just finished watching it. I was screaming at the TV! Seriously WTF was that? On a good note he battled back to 6th, with the help of a few crashes.
Plus he had to navigate the pace car, which could have been an issue.

Joe's performance was awesome. He carved through the field.

He’s starting to come into his own. He can battle with the top riders, and most likely would have been on the podium again if not for the starting grid tire/wheel issue.

Last race was Fabio's tearoff in the airbox, not likely that hurt the motor and don't recall anything about that motor being withdrawn.
This motor in France, yeahhhh I think hammered
Speeddog.
That was Pecco's engine that choked on the tearoff.

No, it was Jack’s. He even nailed it to the wall the following week

I heard it said that the two of them signed it, Jack and Fabio, and it was auctioned off and raised quite a sum!

I read that too. Pretty cool. :D
I'm wrong! I think they blamed a tear off for causing Pecco's crash, while he was winning the race.
