Marc decided that taking turn 3 normally was boring:

I can only imagine the tantrums if Alex Marquez had pulled the same moves on Jack Miller. We'd still be able to hear the Aussie's whinging now.

I'd love to see Alex return the favour on the last corner in Valencia.

The Jack Miller love-in with the BT sport commentary guys is cringe-worthy, too. Particularly Keith Huewen, I'm not sure if a lap went past without him gushing over how good Jack Miller is on the brakes whilst seemingly ignoring Alex Marquez was often the one stoping Miller going straight on and missing the apex .

Alex needs to toughen up for the final round, I can't imagine Marc being pushed around like that.
