I really enjoyed all those races

But have questions (I've not watched this in years and years!)

What is a flag to flag race and how is it different?

what is an operation for arm pump? I know what arm pump is (not in depth) but had no idea you could have an operation for it!!!

Flag to flag means the race won't be stopped, no matter what the weather does.

And they just cut the sheath that surrounds the muscle.

Marquez senior definitely has a different airbag on his suit to the others as it now seems to cover his upper arm as well ...... his early crash showed how much he was inflated

How is it that Miller, Bagnaia and Zarco know when I either have them in or drop them from my fantasy team and time their best performances for when they're not in the team?

There has to be some kind of collusion involved...

But Miller was awesome today. No matter what race direction did, he was going to win anyway.

He's not a happy bunny at the moment. It must be difficult when the mid knows what to do,but the body is a fraction lacking.

I managed to watch two of the 3 races today,good to see J McP finish one and while the commentary team wet their collective undergarments at the prospect of a flag to flag race,I'd prefer a dry race any day. I think they confuse 'a lot going on' with good racing.

Le Mans looks a horrible place to race when the weather is cold and changeable. :shock:
