Yay! Almost coming to 2nd part of season, with Yamaha and Ferrari figured out and fixed their shortfalls, after mid season break expect a tight championship comeback chase!

With intense competition, MM may break under pressure; Mercedes problematic spec-2 PU may not able to cope the continuous high engine mode. I expect 1 more fall from MM and 2 reliability problem from Hamilton to make the comeback realistic.

What the hell, took them ages to solve the ECU problem.

The Yamaha boys have been complaining about the electronics since 2-3 years ago I think.

#HS55 definitely out  of Tech 3..

Maybe Petronas will save him? Morbidelli not perfoming so well on the Yamaha, could get the boot(as an excuse).

SRT Moto2 team, probably yes. Both Morbidelli & Quartararo are too precious to be dropped.

Unless Quartararo is promoted to factory Yamaha (to replace Rossi once he retires), that will happen. But he's not guaranteed to get that SRT ride, still need face competition from other riders.

HS55 will be on four wheels..

Yes, procession race. HS55 crash again. Better race for Rossi compared to last few, still too far behind though.

i read his comment regarding the launch control problem. Maybe that's the factor of bad starting.

Let's see how Marc Marquez will perform this week at Ducati's preferred track (tho last year he beat Dovi here). If MM wins again for sure this is 100% Marc Marquez championship.

Big headline I see this morning "The Red Bull Ring is the only track on the current calendar where Marc Marquez has never won in the premier class!" 

HS55 crashed during FP1 and sent to medical checkup, hopefully no big injury.

I guess malaysian sizes cant tame the beast

Reminds me of Adrian Sutil case, Hamilton his accomplice but buat dunno when trail time came.

So that means moto > F1 now?😂🤣

Michelin is kinda like Pirelli. Might as well bring back Bridgestone.

(Side note: if Marquez didn't push too hard right from the start, he might prevent Rins from winning. Suzuki's tyre conservation is probably the best right now. I think Rins sat back behind Marquez for most of the race & pushed hard at final laps.)

Higher top speed or lower top speed doesn't matter much to MM, see those tracks he lost last year, that time some argue it's top speed that helps Ducati Dovi. This year with higher top speed same MM also not winning at those tracks, Qatar for example both occasions very slim margin to same Dovizioso. I think some tracks not suited his riding style no matter how... Haha.

i finally get to rewatch BT Sport HD (50FPS fuh lol) torrented for the MotoGP Great Britain - Silverstone.

Marquez did in fact rolled off and in the interview he even admitted with exact words "i missed the front and i closed gas"

from the looks of the entire race, Honda bike was struggling.
the better turning bikes like Suzuki/Yamaha faired better.
Ducati Petrucci's horsepower advantage also evidently didn't help at all in the sharper corners of Silverstone. (they barely gotten through 6 gears most of the track)

if you observe MM93, his tire's been chunking most of the corner exits, and he was tank slapping from the beginning and rear lifting in as much as half his braking and rears sliding out the moment they land after the lifts.
while the commentators even say Alex Rins was cruising...

until Mapping 3 on the last 6 laps lol.
can notice the corner exits become more slippery and power also sharper. commentators also discussing focusing on traction control XD

then supposedly the mind games of the 2nd last lap carried onto the last lap, where Alex Rins supposedly tricked MM93 to guard on a wider line, then he just moved inside.

though i think its mainly cuz MM93 cutting throttle (he had to) and lacking tires to hold the line/turn in to guard.

very very Technical race indeed   

Honda can focus that only because Marquez skill/talents of able to deal with slides/recover even if the bike is considered fall to most other riders (those slow motion compilations lol) and that crazy unreal lean angles lol.

His teammates, Pedrosa and Lorenzo, by no means bad riders, struggled hard.

don't think Honda would "change the formula" as they should focus on the championship rider, as long MM happy with the bike they will continue this direction, unless MM quits Honda.
Lorenzo's or rider friendly bike may be not radical enough to win championship. Yes Ducati shifted direction to more friendly handling bike, but this and last year really missing the recipe to be consistently winning the championship.

radical bike + radical rider (MM/CS) = championship formula.

That's why Pedrosa missed the championship though his teammates always won.

Lol, after 4 years, Marc Marquez's overtakes still triggers Rossi's fire carried from Sepang 2015. The fire is in Rossi's heart. Haha

need to give MM lesson else he thought this is Marc Marquez championship, everything under his control.
but i found MM usually doesn't give a f*** and life/race moves on as usual, he don't suffer mental block like Stoner used to. 

Seems like inexperience makes FQ lost this race but he gave MM a worthy fight, unlike all the other Yamahas.

damn sad for Quartararo, i also feel the pain..
MM seems purposely choose final lap to attack, he want to revenge back for consecutive final corner lost.

You guys saw how MM celebrated after he parked his bike and took off his helmet?

His face was scary.
