First time I have seen someone lowside completely off a bike mid corner then get back on it and finish the lap

Lowside, highside, save, throttle open. How does he ride with balls that big.

I expect the wall will return to the Yamaha garage next race.

I can't work out if Rossi is genuinely a mind game playing or if he's just going about his business and young ambituois riders are so in awe of or scared of the size of his legacy, that they perceive that he's trying to fk them up and he's as surprised as the next guy when they throw their hands in the air at him.

That save from Baz was outstanding, as the commentators said "that was a crash!!"

[308mate]

The interview with Cal on crash.net from this week is worth a read. He is basically asserting that the HONDA is a POS, Marquez is superhuman and making a silk purse out of it and that all the other Honda riders are benefiting from Cal's testing feedback.

Marquez you beauty

I've never seen so many people in the Yamaha shop. They stripped it of everything with a 46 on it!

There wasn't much love between the Ducati garages. Lorenzo is in the right garage.

I enjoyed the reaction in his pit. They were happier than they would have been if he'd put it on pole.

Here's the Baz save for those that missed it...

What's the Problem with Danny Kent? Didn'r get anywhere in his first stint in Moto2 on the Tech3 and still not able to make progress on either the Kalex or Suter. Looks like passing on the MotoGP ride could leave him with no career soon.

A much improved weekend from Pedrosa. I like Dani, he's seems a nice guy but I can't help feeling that he needs a big season before Honda start looking at younger, hungrier and maybe faster riders. Or is his steady approach the perfect foil for Marquez?
Looking forward to this. C'mon Dani

Predictions?

Moto3, same podium as the first two, hoping to see Nanny McPhee at the sharp end by the chequered flag.

Moto2, the usual crash fest I'm expecting. Morbidelli & AM somewhere in the tick of things.

MotoGP, can Vinales break MM? I think Vale may well sit and wait. Expecting to see Cal coming through. With Suzuki having some engine woes, not expecting much from them. I seem to recall Ducati putting in a few surprising results, could today be the start of some momentum for the boys from Bologna?

Installed on my couch & ready for my own personal marathon

Canet half a second under the race lap record before the red flag!

Will Lorenzo get to grips with the ducati , will Zarco podium ?

Zarco will these year, just when.

George = 'Special One'. He's lost no talent, but his head aint together at the mo. No doubt his speed & talent in my book, but mentally, one of the least resilient it would seem.

Felt sorry for Canet, but thought his speed/youth would be the downfall as it turned out.

Let's see what Nanny McP can do from the big pack in the last few laps. Like a game of poker in terms of last lap!

[FourWheelDrift]

That's 4 out already in Moto2.

[FourWheelDrift]

Manzi should have this bike taken away from him, that was appallingly late stupid braking.

[Yazza54]

Did I mishear, or did heuwen just suggest pasini was braking with his left hand?? Wtf
