So long as he keeps staying on the bike, it might just work.

He has a few races every year when he looks like Stonor on that bike (He might be building to have a lot more this year). No doubt the Honda wasn't the bike to be on, he got everything out of it.

Just to add to the Dani momentum, he always seems to be better in the second half of the season. I really hope he does it.

Danny Kent has found reverse

May have (hopefully) spoken too soon, in the mix
On his career? Or the wildcard KTM ride that hasn't exactly helped his employment prospects. Talk about throwing it all away in the heat of the moment!

VR wanted that win for many reasons I think.

It was Yams 500th, and he took the 500th for HRC, to arrive at Mugello 7 points clear would have been fantastic.....

But thats Racing I guess.....

Still plenty of season left though.

Great to see Dani coming strong, and to see Miller in strong form after THAT crash.

What a up and down year .

Vinlaes is leading but it only needs him to dnf again and it's all up for grabs again , and lets face it the season is young and so much has happened already.

Anyone fancy a charity bet or sweepstake to spice up the racing ?

" Randy de Punio " ( as he said it ) ....
and calling the result , as if Rossi had won it 1.5 very telling laps from the end ...utter utter cretin .
I know it's all been said before ( he's a tit ) but Christ , if he actually gets paid let's hope he does the decent thing and donates it all to charity .... unlikely but he is keeping a decent / capable / ok just not a total prick , out of a job !

It was when Rossi passed Zarco and he said something like "Yes, Rossi goes to the front of.........Zarco into 2nd place."

Heuwen - "Doctor, Doctor, Doctor, Goat, Vale, Doctor, Doctor, Doctor, Vale, Doctor, Doctor, Goat, Vale, Doctor, Doctor, Goat,"

Ryder - "It was half an hour before I realised he'd got stuck in a loop"

Who is that?

It's almost like Huewen and Ryder are paid by the word, they've got verbal diarrhoea. I remember one old school commentator (Murray Walker?) saying that if a commentator had nothing to useful to contribute then saying nothing was what they should do. Toby Moody annoyed the hell out of me with the crap he came out with, he wouldn't stop telling everybody what the racers were thinking. How the hell did he know?

It's a real shame there isn't a red button that mutes the commentary only, I would be happy to just watch the racing and listen to the bikes.

Murray Walker was the original babbling idiot commentator. The fat one is the worst of the two now that he seems to be permanently eating and smacking his lips whenever he's speaking.

He did but he got to 8th before the 1st corner on lap one and gained another two by Marquez and Rossi having their little... issues.

I'm not mocking him, though, he's my favourite rider at the moment. A proper sportsman, which is more than can be said for quite a number of the rest of the field.

Credit where credit's due: they're both the worst one.

It's the gargling noise he makes when he starts shouting I object to most of all.

That, and literally everything else.

Disgusted for the Doc. He's my number 1. Nothing against Vinales, who looks undoubtedly the quickest but if it came down to it I'd be for Dani.
