How is Zarco regularly beating the factory Yamahas of Rossi and Vin?

And how is Zarco's teammate down in 14th?

Is the Frenchman an alien and up there with Marquez?

Can't imagine Yamaha are too happy, and it's not just today it's happened either. Obviously having their bike on pole is great, but doesn't say much for the factory team.

They are dishing out some stupid time penalties in Moto3, everyone I have seen has backed off when they have gone wide at t2 and lost time anyway. I think Kornfeil might have got his at the fast chicane around the back when he was forced off the track too.

Does seem a bit arbitrary.. 1.3 seconds, 1.8 when the backed off when rejoining?

[hairyben]

Weird penalties being applied in moto3.

Short the turn, rejoin in place but penalised? Eh? Who's in the steward room max Moseley?

[FourWheelDrift]

Kornfeil!!! Give that man an X-games medal.

[FourWheelDrift]

Usual mad finish,

[FourWheelDrift]

And another penalty for the winner !


Ridiculous.

[Yazza54]

Awesome race but fking disgraceful from race control

[Steve Bass]

Fair play to Kornfeil for sticking that landing in the gravel!!!

Classic Moto3 race but Race Control need to have a long look in the mirror...

[mckeann]

Absolute Bullshiit decisions from race direction.


Kornfeil jump and gravel landing is move of the year for me.

you couldn't have staged that jump better.


They need the bollard on the corners rather than time penalties - this is idiotic.

With the bollard if you leave the track you cannot rejoin the track until you've passed a bollard after the corner, punishment is organic and instant.

[cmaguire]

Why is it they manage to do the side banner with the position, race number and name properly in GP yet they leave the bike number out in WSB (and BSB I think) so you rarely know the relevance of what you are looking at unless it is the leaders?

[FourWheelDrift]

Along with the mad results, with the exception of Marquez waltzing away with the title after that one you might be surprised to learn that despite the disappointing race Vinales is now 2nd in the championship.

Get rid of 93 and it'd be the closest title race for years!

[egor110]

The potential rivals are handing the title to marquez by throwing races away rather than grabbing points .

Tricky choice for ducati do they bring in petrucci or miller , will suzuki play hard ball and get lorenzo on the cheap ( will they want him regardless )

[Biker 1]

I've said it before that I can't stand MM - its beginning to look a bit like the MM show & I'm sure he'll walk away with the championship.
Is there anybody out there who can come close?

Lorenzo on a Suzuki would be a good bet

I don't think we've seen anything like what that bike can do with the right rider

He might come cheap now too!

[FourWheelDrift]

One rumour has been Suzuki trying to get Joan Mir. Mir & Rins next year.

I don't think he will come cheap , he's so arrogant he'll still believe he's worth top dollar .

I think if no offer comes he'll just retire .

Rins has signed for Suzuki
Puig wants Mir in place of Dani, but i cant see it......
