MotoGP - Sachsenring
Discussion
You have to respect the lad, he was losing it in interview and you can see what it meant.
Again Oliveira gets very little respect from comms other than them moaning about press comments, the lad is riding out of his leathers his pass on Miller was Marquez level.
But his is all about Marc, superb win, and I loved the emotion, which he did it more over the years.
Only downside, what was going on with Vinales and Franco, that is beyond bad, I would get rid of both of them at this rate, Vinales for sure has to be gone surely.

Well, well, number 11 actually happened. Great win, really enjoyable race, superb from Oliveira and another champions performance from Quartararo. KTM showed they're well and truly in the hunt and Ducati had a decent showing at a bogey track halving the gap to the leader and quartering the gap to the podium.

Agree. It was great to see 11 back, she rode a mature race, a bit gutted for TBA, he is riding well. But seeing 93 on top again was great. I don’t always like his tactics but that was a gutsy ride by a master. I also think this year shows just how good, and probably underrated Cal was. He was the only other rider who could consistently make the horrible Hondas perform. The other Honda riders are nowhere…I think the issue is that at this track it was mainly left handers, he suffers far more on right handers with the injury.
Miguel was taking time out of him at end of lap, Marc was pulling out in the lefts. That is the issue long term
I also heard rumours that doctors have told him he will perhaps not gain full strength back in that arm/shoulder for 12 months maybe.

They said all of the above numerous times on BT Sport. Miguel was taking time out of him at end of lap, Marc was pulling out in the lefts. That is the issue long term

Emotional to watch tbh.....
Delighted for Miguel, thought he may just have had the pace..
I do wonder how much that will have taken out
Of Marc tho...
He'll be fine. He was throwing his arms about all over the place hugging celebrating etc. Granted the strength in it needs to build up but he's given the arm a good test now this season with all the crashes he's had. This has got to be the turning point. Whether he will go as well at Assen, who knows, probably not.. we can't forget that the Honda is a bit crap.

Much as it’s great to see MM winning again I hope he’s not able to be the dominant force that he has been in the past.
It was good to turn on the TV in 2020 and settle down to watch with honestly not having a clue who was going to win.
I don't think he will be this season anyhow, he will still win another race or two though. It was good to turn on the TV in 2020 and settle down to watch with honestly not having a clue who was going to win.
Acosta unless something goes wrong give him the trophy now, he's a skinny young kid destined for stardom, I just hope he suits the big bikes assuming he can he's the next Rossi, Marquez in the making.
Great ride from MM today, got to the front within a lap, for a while I thought the Aprilia might hang with him, clearly being a left handed track and unbeaten played into his hands, and the quick bit of rain he gambled and gapped the rest, great to give him the confidence and the boot, but Assen in 5 days... Hmmm
Oliveira - what a race from him, the only one who could have taken it to MM... so close, but used his head to get 20 points, rides like that can win championships.
Vinales - Nothing positive to say here, he's never been consistent ever, and starting and finishing at the back... I'd be ripping his contract up now, Yamaha will end up in the same boat as Honda if they don't act quickly.
