I'd quite like A.M to win .
As nice as it is to have another rider in the mix challenging for wins, this is the one out of almost all of them I'd rather it wasn't. DORNA had a total hard-on for the (Spanish!) Espargaro brothers when they were racing in different classes, when one was out on a fast qualifying lap they'd immediately cut to the other gurning brother on the pit wall.
Marc Marquez is well on his way to becoming the GOAT already. When he's racing it's "Marc this, Marc that".
Can you imagine the wall-to-wall coverage we'd be faced with if Alex starts doing well on a regular basis? Might as well change the name to MarquezGP and run a separate championship for the other non-spanish riders.

Agreed about Dorna's issues but putting that to one side I'm really happy to see progress as a result of his steady, careful work. Alex has benefitted by Marc's absence this year by not being constantly under the cosh of comparison to his brothers results giving him the time to find his own path riding what many regard as a difficult bike to ride; he's only had nine races and he's already scored 19 points more than Lorenzo. Good on him.DORNA had a total hard-on for the (Spanish!)

John McPhee with a long lap penalty for going a bit slower for a lap after getting fed up of everyone else using him as a "tow truck"
Yet another reason John needs to move up to Moto2
But as it stands the opposition have won this one, slowing him in practice/qualifying then giving him a penalty in the race.

t penalty for McPhee.
