Binder's short circuit race quality is showing through. He knows how to take advantage of the shorter sprint races.

Marini has inherited his brother's whining attitude 😒

Rossi was the king of hard passes but was too big to penalise.

But was the king of whiners

LM should STFU

I think the problem is with the stewards for the most part, not the riders. There's a complete lack of consistency in pernalties being applied. Things started going downhill after the stewards became 'a panel' rather than a single individual.

They say you can teach a fast racer to not crash, however Lowes proves that you can't.

I've given up on him.

Good to see race direction weren't so heavy handed this round.

Herve Poncharal is a star. :lol:

Good entertainment in all three classes.

Yup. Good hard racing :)


There was a big meeting between riders and race instruction.

I reckon the riders expressed their views quite strongly ;)

And the excuse for all the other crashes in his career? :D

But yeah, it was an odd one.

Well that was an expensive meeting for a few teams!
I think MM showed his class with that ride. The sooner he gets on a European bike the better.
