My money is on Quartararo for tomorrow, with Morbidelli second, and Vinales third.

Good for team Motogrady,,, bad for Team 2fat.
Ironic that Zarco is on last years bike that Dovi helped design and engineer. Gots to be frustrating for Dovi.

I tell you, I'm surprised Dovi hasn't showed better at this event.  I thought, he's had time to kind of heal up.  He ran pretty good at the last meet.  Dovi, shoot, I had, kinda still do, him top 5 at this event.

We will see in a few hours.........

Anyone up for some live Moto2?

I've staggered to the monitor, hoping for the best for Roberts.

Hmmmmm....
Picking Vinales means picking a racer who is already on his last engine.

With 11 events to go.  Yikes.

Did you hear the Crafar report that he saw Yamaha refilling the valve train's gas on the grid?

[oldironnow]

I don't see how that's not a racing incident.
Pol slid wide and then came back to the apex.

[oldironnow]

Steel frames forever.

[Allred]

Who could have predicted that.........and none of the "usual" names, bar Rossi, in sight. I never heard Repsol Honda mentioned once during the race.

Quite a feat by Binder, he wasn't even on my radar.

I thought the race was going to be Quartararo's, but I guess experience includes tire maintenance on the various track surfaces.

Excellent effort by Zarco, and Rins, and I was cheering Rossi all the way, but a start from 10th takes some making up.

I guess the only thing u cant change, is change.  

[oldironnow]

The usual problem children were to the front.

Morbidelli usually fades.
A more flexible last-year Ducati is ahead of its likely spot.
Steel frame KTMs run top.

Good for all of them, but this may be a Brno specific outcome.

I bet soft-setup Lorenzo would've won.

Wait ... what? How did that happen?

Updated: just caught up with the news; what a mess.

And I'm stuck with him.

Me 3.  I don't know what the penalty is if he goes over, what is it, 4 motors?

[oldironnow]

I believe if they run the sixth motor, he has to start from pit-lane for that event.

Agreed. Ducati has a right to be pissed about that one. Zarco was on the line. Pol should of slid in behind Zarco and then took Zarco. He had the hp to do so.

I guess it really doesn’t matter now. Zarco’s long lap was fantastic.
