Strange race. Amazing scene where dad Marquez hugged his lads.
Gonna whizz off now and find the full story.

Not a classic by any means but interesting to watch all the same.
Marc clearly the class of the field, I was surprised Peco wasn't even able to have a go at the end.
Shame about Yamaha - wouldn't have imagined Jack would be the leading bike.
Ogura the big surpirse again! And Bezzechi did well too, bodes well for George when he makes it back.

Bets of both worlds - I went out all day then watched it when I got back in

Just watched Moto3. Always fancied Rueda and there's few new young crazy dudes.
Stan Ogden did OK

I hope the rule enforcers aren't going to be turning it all into a tyre pressure contest,that's beyond boring.

When you find yourself watching half of the race highlights in fast forward then it wasn't an exciting race.
Mind ewe they've totally banjaxed the highlight program with virtually no coverage of the sprint, moto2 or moto3 and was shown had a banging sound track.

I don't mind a quiet race. Because you're seeing everyone pushing 100%
Not like car racing where overtaking is difficult.

There was less overtaking than an F1 race!

You missed my point.
But it's still intriguing and other tracks will have more action and bikes will improve.

The bikes have been 'improving' (i.e. faster lap times) very noticeably in the aero era and the racing has got worse. The margins between success and failure in an overtake are are diminishing and it's all getting very processional. The new 2027 regs might provide some respite but in my view it's all too little, too late. The aero genie is out of the bottle and there's no putting it back in.
At least F1 has DRS to artificially brighten up the show; there simply isn't the space or the weight capacity available to do that on MotoGP bikes.
There is no cloud, just somebody else's computer.

We've had one race (ok, and a half one) on not the most exciting circuit on the calendar.
Let's see how it goes from here.

Yeah, that’s a real shame! Was looking forward to seeing him defend the title—hope he recovers fast. Should still be an exciting race!
