Have they all had a go with the bumming hat?

Weeksy told me you'd taken the weekend off.

I'm properly looking forward to this one. Always enjoy the Austrian and I've got an especially good feeling about it this year.

Excellent work so far too.

I'd be amazed if anything changes for Yamaha this year,even Fabio can't make a difference now.

I can't 'like' that!! But, if anything can help him win, it'll be cos I've taken him off the team!!

There are times when I despair about Maverick Vinales - so much talent, but he always seems to find a way to torpedo his chances. I don't know if it was pilot error or a system malfunction, but his start in the sprint race was painful to watch, and put him right back in the middle of the pack and prone to being taken out - which of course was what happened.

George Marteeen must have friends in high places.

Results?

Has the post race investigation finished on the crash?

I know I'm not the most knowledgable, but surely his waving an arm after causing a multi rider crash is a bit wrong??

Or am I wrong and he wasn't the reason for the skittles team winning on the first corner?

Just finished watching it & in my opinion the first turn incident was just that. If George is being blamed for being on Fabio's right then Bastianini (I think?) on his left should also be. Everyone just ran out of space.

Edit - Viñales, not Bastianini...

Jorge Martin was undoubtedly the domino that triggered the fall of all the other dominoes, but as one of the commentators said 'Marc Marquez has been doing that for years and he gets away with it'... It certainly wiped out a lot of the expected front runners, and JM recovered sufficiently to blag a podium, which I'm sure won't have pleased any of the affected riders/teams.

Fair enough - I was listening to French commentary!!

Bez appeared to think differently.
