Superb Moto 3 race, shame about Oncu's last lap, two big mistakes in one lap, and the effect the second one had on the results

Decent finish for Sam in Moto2

Points mean prizes

Bit of a dull race though

Were we watching the same race ? OK it wasn't Moto3 levels of insanity, but nothing ever is... I thought it was excellent.

All three were interesting races for different reasons.

Just finished a binge watch from FP2 onwards.

You have to feel for Fabio,but great to see Miller pull one out of the hat.

Solid result for Lowes and the least said about J McP the better.

In today's official tests, Miller was only 18th.

Too much partying ?

Oncu's crash was so predictable to the point that I said to the Mrs "he'll take everyone out on the last bend". The only bit I got wrong was that he missed Acosta.

Miller's win has to be he most popular in a long time, the whole paddock was out to greet him down pit lane, really chuffed for him.
Good to see Marquez keep it upright and finish in the top 10. Another couple of races and he'll be back proper I reckon.
Good podium from Sam, nice to see him keeping his head and not trying to defy the laws of physics!

Agreed, he was getting wilder and wilder as the race progressed. I was surprised he made it till the last lap but Acosta did well to avoid all the lunges

Weird how we've not seen that one manifest itself before.... Normally we see riders complaining of it for a while then getting it sorted, i don't recall having him talk about arm pump before ?

maybe he's just gotten on with it, or dealt with it quickly once its started to cause him problems.
