Even MM looked stunned. He readily admits they don't have race pace,but that lap was something special.

A bit disappointing for Marquez the younger,he found Morbidelli in the wrong place at the wrong time. I think he'd have done well in the race,but he's well deep in the grid for the sprint race and only 12 laps to make any ground.

Yamaha are fucked,by the look of things.

They just said that Honda have asked Kakex to make them a new frame.
Blimey, that's swallowing a lot of pride.

MM is still the supreme opportunist. His racecraft is next-level.

It's shit that a rider has to have a big one before anyone takes notice of rider concerns.
I am surprised it didn’t already have air fencing as iirc it’s the same place JR and Toprak had big offs last year when WSB were there and both skimmed across the gravel but didn’t quite reach the wall

I have read elsewhere that there has been an air fence installed this morning ;)

On a side note,it was heartening to see a walking talking,seemingly recovered Gino Rea being interviewed.

Looking forward to tomorrow''s race. Looks like the Aprilias will be strong, who knows how the KTM and Honda will cope with 24 laps.
Would love to see Jorge Martin take it to the factory boys but Paco looks scary quick..
