Bagnaia usually plays the long game over the weekend. Quite often he's down the list of times on a Friday,but up to speed when it matters.

What lap will MM bin it during the races?

[Yorick]

MM93 was flying. Took 1/4 second off lap record.

Good to see Zarco going well.

He was saying he'd 'need a perfect weekend' to win. Going ok so far.

Tough news about Sylvain Guintoli's youngest son having cancer. Understandably Sylvain has cancelled his endurance racing and his Motogp commentary. Wishing the family all the best.

Good to see that the resurfacing of track (that wasn't finished in time to run a GP there in 2023) hasn't ruined it.

GP24 not so special today!

[ChrisW]

Enjoyed that!

Gutted for Zarco, pleased for Marquez, impressed by George, happy for Acosta, fucking delighted for Quatararo , pleased in general for the championship.

The weekend I bin Acosta from my fantasy team the tosser gets third in the sprint.

Don't feel too bad about it - I switched Bastianini for Asparagus the elder in my 'Gold ' team, and Aleix didn't even complete the first corner. The Beast comfortably beat his 2-time WC team-mate...

After MotoGP qually they showed the full video with Acosta. About half hour.
Wow. What an amazing kid.
Highly recommended.

[Yorick]

Oh. And in Moto2 qualifying, the 3 lads who are in MotoGP next year, are all way down the grid.

But amazing pole for Jakey.

[Skub]

Great to see Quartararo having the tools to show his talent for a change. How he keeps his chin up,I don't know.

Maybe the 12 mil helps a little.

[mangocrazy]

Good on Jake - that was a classily executed race. But Vermin is looking a bit of a busted flush right now. And what on earth was Joe Roberts thinking?

[Yorick]

Quiet race, but top 5 are non factory bikes. Same as sprint race yesterday.

[Yorick]

I don't like Bagnaia

Is that the one where they visit him at home and go off in the van for practice?

Yip.

So MM93 got the clean sweep - pole, Sprint win, GP win and fastest lap. 'Dominant' hardly does justice to it; he was in a different race to the rest of the field. Kudos to Jorge for trying to keep MM honest, but it was only ever going to be a race for second.

Sickening crash for Bagnaia - he had the corner, but Alex didn't get the memo. Glad to see both of them appeared relatively unscathed. A good weekend for Pedro, as well.
