2017 MotoGP LeMans *Spoilers*

[kopfjäger]

from what I read, *ssghey said “[It was] Very rude. I think that's something you shouldn't' say to any rider in front of the others, and certainly not to a five time world champion.”

IMHPO, *ssghey is full of it, since he doesn't have one  . . .

Yes, he has 5.

[GK]

Must be tough going from up the front to down the back!

Rossi knows how that feels. The Ducati has frustrated many. Only Casey has mastered it.

[koko64]

What a race and full of drama with 8 DNFs via crashes or blow ups. The championship takes another turn. Pedro is second in the championship! Miller survived to come 8th. Zarco podiums again.

[DarkMonster620]

Yes, he has 5.

I meant an *sshole . . .

[duccarlos]

Damn it Rossi!!

[kopfjäger]

My boy!  I'm so happy.  Zarco is here to stay it appears. Satellite Ducati bikes were dropping like flys today.

What was the deal with the track in the Moto3 race!??!

[Grampa]

Oil from a crash remount.

They had gone through that corner during the sighting and warm up laps. No one noticed the big line of oil?

Great race from both MV and Zarco! I'm disappointed that Rossi crashed on that last lap. It would have been awesome to see him at least try to get MV on the last corner.

Pedrosa is now 2nd in the championship!! Who would have seen that coming? That was a pretty rough pass on Cal. Something tells me that Cal thought it was MM for a second.

Dovi at least is the class act and bringing steady results. Jorghey can kiss my ass.

The oil was from a lap one crash in the race.

They'll be discussing the remount rule because of it.

I don't get to watch the races due to travel, but I do get to see the clips that come out after.  Lot of ugly crashes this week but this was an impressive save... 


From when the rear comes off the ground to when it returns, the bike must have rotated 45 degrees!!  How this wasn't a highside I'll never know.

[Grampa]

Low level tail whip.

[Mhanis]

It WAS a high side, he just didn't fall off!

Miller lucky beyond description to escape that FP4 crash.

Cal opened the door, and Dani had his foot in before Cal could close it.

Rossi, intoxicated by the smell of the top step of the podium, goes to Mugello 23 points behind, instead of 3.
An even uglier fact is that he's finished the same number of races as Zarco, but he's only 7 points ahead.

This season is shaping up to be a 'fewest dnf's gets the chip'.

This is an excellent assessment of Zarco, from David Emmett's report:
".... the last rookie to get a podium in his first season was Marc Márquez. Before that, it was Jorge Lorenzo.
But Márquez and Lorenzo were on factory bikes, and Zarco is on a satellite Yamaha.
The last satellite rider to get a podium in his first season was Ben Spies Casey Stoner in 2010 2006..."
