Bravo Binder. What a ride.

Loving this.

Bezzecchi looks like he could win it for me.
Wasn't a bad call!

Maverick is 3:1 for the title on Betfair. He can do a lap time but he hasn’t shown himself as the best at overtaking the last couple of rounds.
For me, 3:1 isn’t attractive enough.
Bezzzechi at 14:1 looks like better value.
Can’t see bez winning the championship if Pecco avoids injury - but if Pecco is out of it for some reason, then who knows. Seems quite a broad shuffle across the first two races but maybe portimao and Termas are very different tracks.

Mir declared unfit for the race today. Head and neck trauma after the sprint crash yesterday.

Anyone else think that BT could save a bunch of money doing away with the pointless, needless chat and people standing about trying to justify a living, and just have a couple of people in the box! Like the old days, viewing figures must be falling in the UK, with little prospect of it getting higher, why are they sending 7, 8 9 people plus crew half way round the world when you could manage with 2 or 3!

You do like a good moan.

It's good to have people on the ground with experience and contacts to bring the details to life.

Yes, for someone who claims not to enjoy it Luke has a lot to say and a lot to complain about. Almost as if he does actually watch it and enjoys it, because logically why would you watch and comment so much on something you don't like? coffee

Good result for Scott Ogden, 5th after the penalty.

Life is short, we spend loads of it asleep and working, spend the rest of it on things you enjoy.
Of course for some people the real pleasure comes in being miserable.

Who says I do not enjoy MotoGP, some people seem to spend their entire lives reading what other people post without ever really adding anything worthwhile of their own, dont they Freddo!

Good 3 race you knew Oncu was going to crash, utter waste of space, unlucky for Sasaki but telling people you are winning the title is never a good idea,

Quality national antheming, but not as much fun as the bloke at Portimao who they’d found face down in Saturday night’s dinner

It's a bit soggy, so it could be anyone, Brad Binder must be in with a chance.


DoH! Cancel that thought..........

Oops. P16 though so he can still score something.

Good race. If only Zarco could understand that the race starts at lap 1, not lap 15!
