I can't get used to Pedrobot with grey hair.

If you don't follow Car Wow on Youtube you'll not have seen him drag racing supercars on a 2021 RC16. You see a totally different side to Danni - really likeable.

Here's one such race, however he's done a few on the channel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nr-JATEcvc8

I've always liked Dani. I think because he was the polar opposite of Rossi,he wrongly took flak for being standoffish and arrogant.

I didn't catch it either but read this mentioned elsewhere:

Two of my fantasy team went down,so I was straight on the phone to race direction and got the sorry affair red flagged. Much better second time around.

Binder was showing alien powers in the sprint race.

He may be one to watch in the long race,as he's good with tyre preservation.

Nice job from Lowes today, even if it made the race a little dull.

Moto3 was as always damn fine to watch.

The rules state that a rider must get back to the pits within 5 mins of a stoppage to join the restart.

This wasn't enforced yesterday, so I assumed maybe different rules for sprint race.

But it wasn't applied today either.

Surely rules is rules?

Seems the rules are open to interpretation when it suits, as in the re-start, and then also completely inflexible as in Quarataro's second LLP.
