Fantastic! MotoGP has been consistently exciting to watch since last season (I didn’t catch most of the previous seasons) and this race was no exception.

Marquez is back on the form I remember seeing when he won his championships - it seemed like he really lost something last season. After the bike switch he was untouchable, although Rabat separating him from Rossi probably helped things.

I was heartbroken for Vinales - I was really hoping he could get a podium finish.

That said, I thought the Ducatis were doing excellent in catching Rossi but still keeping the intra-team battle. Looked like a real clumsy move from Iannone, but I appreciate the heart from Dovizioso to run his bike over the line. Real shame for them, although obviously a huge plus for Rossi and his fans.

Big surprise finish of the day is probably Laverty (who I really didn’t see much of) who would’ve gotten a solid finish of 6th but got an excellent 4th place with Iannone’s help.

I’d be really fucking pissed if I were the Ducati team boss.

It was a shame, though it helps Rossi’s title hopes which I think are very important for the sport in general.

If you haven’t you need to check out the Moto3 Race, it was incredible and history in the making.

I really don’t know much about MotoGP, apart from Marquez and Rossi, Lorenzo (I forgot to mention the other surprise was him making a rare mistake) and Stoner when he was still racing. I may join in if I see other threads come up, but I’m going to be out of country for the next two races so I won’t be able to participate in those.

Given what happened last season I think a proper Marquez/Rossi showdown needs to happen. That was a real bummer to the season finale since Marquez really had nothing to do with the championship battle between Lorenzo and Rossi. Then again, even a proper battle between the two Yamaha riders would be some consolation. I expect a pretty close fight between those three, despite Lorzeno’s no-points finish in Argentina. That said, Dovizioso might be someone to watch out for given his performance.

Running the bike over the line for those 13th place points was great to watch. That’s a real racer

It was hilarious and also impressive as hell, 20 something seconds ahead in a series where they mostly fight the win over thousandths of a second.

Moto2 was pretty much par for the course, you know it was a great weekend when Moto2 was the worse race of the 3.
