Sprint is in the bag.
I just watched Q2 - Will watch the Sprint later.

Petit déjeuner, déjeuner copieux.

100,000 people at the track.
Crowds the size of cities are not my thing, but I would like to feel this scene.

There was some electricity in that crowd during the Sprint until Aldeguer peed in the French Toast Crunch.

Man, what a mess of a race. Double long lap penalties for half the riders, dry tires, wet tires, high sides galore and a backflip from a well deserving winning Frenchman.
Craziness upon craziness.

Nailed it ^
A Byzantine experience.
What a day for France.
It was the perfect moment for the weakest motorcycle on the grid. Soft power has the best chance in the damp, and Zarco has the wisdom of years.

All the riders with yellow exclamation points earned a double long lap penalty for making a pre-race tire swap.

Fabio has been handed a 10 minute hold penalty for his disagreement with the marshals at the French GP.
He will have to sit for the first 10 minutes of FP1 at Silverstone.
This is the first I’ve heard of such a penalty.

Fabio should be required to watch that clip for the entire 10 minute time-out.
And then remember he’s an adult… on a time-out.

Now that's funny.

Emotions and adrenal glands overload.

So French GP rider, Carlo Pernant, is not happy with the way the LeMans GP went down. Said it wasn’t worthy of a championship race much less an amateur one. Said they should have delayed the race by 10 minutes to avoid the 2x long lap penalties and mass confusion.

Some agreed others say it’s part of racing.
Opinion’s??
