I don't know which is more delicious, Rossi riding like he is and MM finally coming unstuck by his uncompromising racing style.
Lorenzo is a shadow of himself, I wonder what is going on with him.

Lorenzo seems to lack confidence to me, he should have led through T1 in Austin but backed right out and in wet conditions he has referred back to his accident at Assen. Was never really a fan but I hope he improves.

He was sick 3 days ago, probably still a bit weakend, still his form is nowhere near where it was before his big crashes.
And well Rossi is a legend. Can't wait for the next GP.

If he is ruled at Rossi might have the buffer needed to stay in the lead.

Ehhhh this race was a bit of a parade. I guess Jerez can be hit or miss.

Yes, from the fans point of view it wasn't the best show but congrats to Lorenzo when he is 1st and have feeling with the bike he simply runs away. Marquez did a great job not allowing Rossi to come back.
Interesting championship with different results every race.

Yeah too bad Rossi got stucked a bit behind Crutchlow (I think ?) and couldnt close the gap after.
Lorenzo was just too fast this whole week-end. And Rossi choice to try to run the Hard tire on both practice friday and not get exp on soft might have cost him his race.
Another thing, since when did moto2 become so boring ? I stopped really caring cause swiss bikers are disapointing atm but tried to watch a bit the race on sunday and god it was boring.

Why would anyone even read this thread before watching the race,
if they want to avoid knowing the result.
Marquez vs. Iannone 👍👍👍
What a beauty. Andrea kept biting back, I loved it.
I wonder what Bradley was thinking watching all that.
Lorenzo 👍👍
Mr. Smooth as always.
Rossi 👍
Great recovery as always.
Smith 👍
Strength to strength.
Crashlow is back.

"This track" is Le Mans itself (albeit a short version of it).

I like it, the first few corners normally produce some good racing.

I know it's Le Mans, . The whole track is awesome especially since it's a temp track but the short version is meh I think. It only share umm 3-4 corner maybe 5 depending how you count the chicane.
Dont think it's really good for moto gp. There's barely any straight and most turn are taken in a way that dont let you any chance to overtake unless you're a whole lot faster. Moto3 race was awesome tho. We had good run on MOtoGP on the last couple of years because it was usually raining.

Just watched highlights of Le Mans, great battle with Marquaz and The Ducati.
Think I'm gonna watch more of this as kinda had it with F1 fir the time being.
Always had an interest in Moto GP mainly due to Rossi/Yamaha and was always a fan of Edwards and Tech3 but never really followed it as much as F1. I guess it moving channel quite and never really knowing the calender played a part in that.
Seems very competitive this year tho
