The Pol/Baz crash was scary. I'm glad they came out of it mostly unscathed.

Maverick pretty much showed the skills of an alien. He checked out, finishing at over 4 secs ahead!  :o

Crutchlow has definitely found the groove he lost when he moved away from Tech3. Not sure what changed, but I would definitely start worrying if I was Rossi and Jorghey. MM has a considerable lead and these upstarts are taking away valuable points needed to catch up.

Tt was a very interesting weekend. From the weather to the racing across all 3 classes. We don't generally speak of Moto2, arguably the most boring of the 3 classes, but not only was the racing excellent, but Zarco/Lowe's "incident" has a lot of implications. Rins definitely has an easier path to the championship. Zarco seems to have had the red mist come over him in that corner.

Zarco is definitely out of Lowes' will.

a completely different way than you, you will be open to understand how that

This has been by far the best season of MotoGP I have witnessed. I started watching consistently in 2006 and have to live through the parade lap racing. Whomever gave up watching and switched to WSBK, should reconsider coming back.

I concur. After last season, barring the shitshow that was the last couple of rounds, I didnt think this season could in anyway match last years. I am happily very wrong.

That said, I like the current crop of WSBK riders and I think them going there is just going to make both series really fun to watch. As soon as someone can figure out how to challenge Rea on that Kawi.

My only grip right now with that race is that I still havent seen the last 2 laps. BeIn cut off the last two because of the red flag and they still havent shown the replay yet. After a day or so of waiting I broke down and just read the results.

Went back and checked from the early 70's on, we've 1 season of 8 winners, 3 with 7 winners. Last one was (surprise!) just back in 2006.

I'm betting we see an 8th, one named Pedrosumthin'
