Proper sketchy track conditions. Seems like the sun came out, or the wet patches dried a little bit, and the riders just couldn't see them any more.
ETA - Guintoli and MLav gave a good explanation of the weepers in the post race chat. It's actually likely to have been more moisture being drawn to the surface as the climatic conditions changed.
It's been a problem at a few circuits where the track is too porous and you have water rising through what are effectively capillaries between the stone.ETA - Guintoli and MLav gave a good explanation of the weepers in the post race chat.

When Rockingham circuit opened with the Indycar race (back in 2001), they hit this issue, the cars missed the first two days running as weepers were popping up everywhere.

Another Pecco no score.
Doesn't seem to fancy the championship this year and his decision making under pressure can be distinctly suspect. Binder's move was hard but fair. I wonder if Ducati are regretting his two year deal - Marquez and Martin would make a formidable team

Way too early to write anyone off yet though.

Embarrassing from Miller and Binder.
Fantastic sprint, everything F1 isn't.
Will caveat this by saying I'm no fan of Miller, but in his defence when Dani smashed every KTM rider at Misano his bike had some upgrades nobody else had. But getting done by the teenager and the old man is not good....Fantastic sprint, everything F1 isn't.

Millers done Imo and to be honest I don't think it's looking good for Brad either
Binder is contracted till the end of 2026. Totally agree Miller is done. Wouldn't surprise me if the swapped him with Acosta mid season. Although maybe they shouldn't mess with Acosta's team at all, as it clearly works!
And in terms of Red Bull riders there's no one in Moto2 showing they are ready to move up to MotoGP, from last years problem of trying to fit more riders than seats available at the moment they are going to have to look outside KTM if they replace Miller or Fernandez completely. Which is where Marc Marquez could come into play.

Yes I am being mindful of what happens with Marc. I think KTM could demote brad to gas gas to get the Pedro / Marc dream team
I like it.I think Ducati are going to do their best to keep hold of Marc though.
I do wonder if Marc realistically wants to be going through another adaptation to a new bike too, so it seems like a sensible punt for him to stay on a Duc.
k that was stressful
