Too tough a penalty on Honda/Marquez you reckon?

I do! Here's why. First time this sort of thing was done. It would be all too easy to miss your pit board the first time round. Perhaps M93 thought that he would wait for one lap longer than Lorenzo, thinking Lorenzo went in on lap 9 (not the actual 10).

In any case, what's done is done and M93 will have to work hard the next few races.

It's certainly going to increase the gate takings and TV ratings.

The penalty suited his track entry exiting from pit lane. Poor timing and across JLs line. Mind you he had a look and saw him. Nearly RIP for both of them. Missing his pit board and getting in late was more technical and that was harsh. Maybe the two infringements were put together.
Trying to understand the race officials is like trying to understand the AFL tribunal.

So how many people after watching that (aren't) going out Monday morning and buying a set of Bridgestone tyres for their motorcycle 

What delaminates on Sunday dont sell on Monday.

   Couldn't agree more, the penalty was to harsh for missing his Pit Board but was fair for wandering onto JL's line.

    From Motegi, Japan this weekend. Could be interesting all Friday practice cancelled due to bad weather and possibly same again tomorrow. BUT !  they have a plan A, a plan B and even a plan C. Here's hoping for good weather.

Holy crap what happened to Espagro in the GP today in Japan 

   OK race fans, last round for the year at Valencia, championship decider. Barring some disaster M n M should take it but I would not begrudge JL another championship he has been amazing.
