That's as unexplainable as Senna at Monaco '88. 

 

Do they just lose concentration when there's no opposition or pressure?

Is it time for Rossi (and Vinales) to go? 

I know it's Sundays that pay points, but Yamaha's youngsters are 1-2 on the grid on the satellite bikes. The works team haven't looked that quick in years.

Pure class from Marquez in Jerez just now. Good rides from Rins on the Suzuki up from 9th to 2nd and Rossi from 13th to 6th. Only 3 points separates 1st to 3rd in the Championship after 4 races. Rossi 9 points back in 4th. Good to see Honda, Suzuki, Yamaha and Ducati in top four.

MISSING WORD

Put them all on Moto 3 bikes. What a race!

Watching the best motorcyclist in the world drop it on a slightly damp surface at Le Mans in FP4 and qualifying demonstrates how difficult it it to be safe on a bike in damp conditions.( Marquez down twice)

He falls off more than just about anybody else. Luckily he hasn't really hurt himself to date, and still wins most Sunday's.

And he qualified on pole for tomorrow. Likes to find where the limit is like Schumacher used to as well.

Correction in-line, bold.

Agree, he is far too aggressive. I rather he didn't end up like Rainey, but I'd even more rather he doesn't put one of his competitors in that state.

Only found out today that when Marquez and the guys roll into a corner 3 cylinders are shut off on the bike as they only need 1 cylinder to keep firing as they go into the corners, just like the wife's Karoq which can shut off 2 cylinders.

Well done McPhee, pole to win on Petronas Moto3 bike, first Brit to win Le Mans lightweight race for over 50 years !

+1 Great race and hope all those that crashed are ok.

Marquez dominant in the main event again. Another Masterclass.

And it's just boring.

Every year we know who will be champion before the season starts.

Dull, dull,dull,dull,dull. 😁

....but some of the individual races, or even laps, or even just 1 corner can be really exciting, today's race winning move for example

And a Honda didn't win for a change.

What an utter C***.

 

Thanks for nothing Jorge.

 

Maybe you'll get a Honda contract extension like this, cause you aint getting one on results that's for sure.

FIM stewards fail to penalise Lorenzo for taking out 3 other works riders including his team mate's major championship rival.

 

Amazing.

 

 

Love Assen. Even the much shorter modern version produces great racing. Well done Maverick.

Yamaha at its best.  Bike looked a joy to ride.  Where is Rossi though ?  Now too old to physically compete ? 

Wow. What a finish. The winner just looked like he had something in reserve all along. Epic.

Great to see Dovi fight so hard.

 

Well done Fabio Q, superb ride for third and two more Yams in 4th and 5th at Austria which is a power track, inline 4 cylinder M1 got some life in it yet.

 

MM perhaps being more mature thinking of the title and to get crowned Best Of All Time in the next couple of years.

 

Also well done to John McPhee in Moto3 and Bradley in Moto-e getting 3rd places, 300 kg Moto-e bikes in damp conditions, challenging.

Front Row Valentino! That's been a long time coming. Looking forward to the race.

Great finish, although I'm getting a little bored of Marc's sour sound bites after a defeat.

He always has an excuse that seems to belittle the achievement of the victor. "He only luckily beat me because..." sort of thing - never any credit for the winner.

It happened in Austria and now in Britain too.

 

In this case something like,

"Well I fell for RIns outside dummy that he pulled on the previous lap, and he totally pulled my trousers down by passing inside the final corner instead"

would have given credit where it was due, but MM didn't say that.

 

If he's embarrassed at getting beaten he needs to ride faster or take defeat like a man, not a spoilt brat.

Race of over 70 miles, first beats second by a few centimetres...................

Rins even pops his head up to get a good look............................................
