How was Zarco pushing Pecco with no throttle?

Noticed that too, enough torque at tickover for two bikes!

From what I’ve read on Twitter it was Zarco who had ran out and Pecco was towing him

They’re saying the commentators were getting it wrong as they thought it was the other way round.

Always thought it was better to pull rather than push ;)

Makes me laugh watching qualifying that the commentators are babbling thatQuat actually has a chance of winning the title. Lol

Well he does.

Chances are small, Pecco only needs 14th place and Fabio needs to win it.
Pecco is perfectly capable of binning it, Fabio is quite capable of winning it - everyone in front of fabio on the grid are regular visitors to the kitty litter. Remeber 2006 and all that! :)

Also, if you were a commentator, you wouldn't say "well don't bother tuning in folks, its a done deal" ;)

No but they were actually building it up like it's a decent chance when imo I'd put it at massive odds.

I just don't see it, not even a little bit

I'll be astonished if it's anyone other than Pecco as WC this time tomorrow. Fabio is a one-legged man in an arse kicking contest 'cos of the Yamaha, but Pecco still deserves it. As would Fabio, of course...

It's the hugely, irritating, modern way to hype things up when there is very little chance of what they're talking about, happening. However, a Mr N. Hayden had no chance of winning the title at Valencia......... (and now I sound like the presentation style I loathe :lol: :D )

So McPhee for his final Moto3 race.... Lets see what it brings.

Thoughts on whether he was worthy of a Moto2 ride ? He can obviously win a race here and there, which is more than can be said for most racers in most grids..

Not really. Every year new lads come in. Learn the job second season then start beating him and go up to Moto2.

After 9 years, he's not much better than 7 years ago.

Wish I'd realised I could have bought a BT Sport monthly pass a month ago 😂 popped over to watch it with a mate but he's gone into hospital ☹️
