Better late than never....

Pretty ambitious (and disastrous) first-lap pass attempt by Marquez. Too bad, as I was excited to see what kind of a race both Marquez & Martin were going to put up.

Tyre issues seem to be a problem with inconsistent performance with the same tyre on the same bike/set up. Baggy was very unlucky and Jack had to play the tyre the best he could. While tyre conservation is an important skill, it appears that tyre performance is a bit of a lucky dip at this point in the premiere class. I'm amazed how 1/4 does it. He must have a freaky adaptability to tyre degradation.

I think it's being examined by the officials.
