I think Zarco pretty well defined the term "Out of Nowhere!".

Have any of you watched the 1994 Suzuka race with Norick Abe, Kevin Swantz and Mick Doohan that is up on the Moto GP site now.  The wildcard rider Abe gave Swantz and Doohan fits.

An excellent race and great last lap. Dovi is King of the Late Bloomers.
Rossi was lucky to not smash his healing leg.

Dovi just keeps on retaining his composure and Marc is powerless to fluster him. Most excellent race!

Wow, just wow. When that last lap started I had pretty much given up on the win. Dovi’s patience is legendary and he definitely attacks once he sees an advantage. You have to give it to MM, the kid has no quit in him.

No modification goes unpunished. Memento mori.  Good people drink good beer.  Things happen pretty fast at high speeds.

It's all up to your will level, your thrill level and your skill level.  Everything else is just fluff.

To say that was a cracker is an understatement ............... wow

I was surprised when Dovi didn't attack when Marquez had his almost off.  Was that good sportsmanship by letting Marquez recover or was his plan to wait until the time he did?
Fantastic racing!

He would have if he was closer.

And hence my comment about his patience. Dovi understood that MM’s rhythm was off. He used the mistake to shorten the gap, then picked him off where he thought MM would have the least chance to fight back.

I watched the BTSport broadcast and Colin basically said best wet weather race he'd ever seen. [clap]

Yep. Calculated, measured, intelligent aggression. Dovi's like a boxer who "picks his punches", with a smart, smooth riding style.
