the sun was already up by the time moto2 finished..

if u ask me, Race Direction could have wait couple of minutes for track to dry up and not declare it as Wet Race.

but it gonna be conflict with sponsorship & tv schedule..

last season ducati conquered this track 1-2...

expected them to challenge strong again this time.

1- Andrea Dovizioso
2 - Marc Marquez
3 - Dani Pedrosa

it was a battle between Honda & Ducati, especially the last lap.

MM is such a talent and joy to watch, reminded us of rossi when he still has that aggressiveness and fighting back spirit.

Yamaha once again seems comfortable to just trailing behind.

vinales lead fp1

suddenly yamaha not doing bad...

the mystery continues...

marquez gonna start from pole again...

Great win by dovi...

Looks like Yamaha got it right this time.

Too bad for marquez his bike blew up...

Riders' World Championship:
1. ^1 Andrea Dovizioso ITA Ducati Team (GP17) 183 points
2. ˅1 Marc Marquez SPA Repsol Honda (RC213V) 174 points (-9)
3. = Maverick Viñales SPA Movistar Yamaha (YZR-M1) 170 points (-13)
4. = Valentino Rossi ITA Movistar Yamaha (YZR-M1) 157 points (-26)
5. = Dani Pedrosa SPA Repsol Honda (RC213V) 148 points (-35)

Point gap between TOP 5 still is not much. A single 1st place win (25 points) can change everything.

looks like rossi injured in enduro training..

i dun understand why u need to risk urself like that in the middle of the season...especially crucial time where only 6 races left.

more likely he asked for it.

btw, rossi will not race this weekend & no replacement according to yamaha.

he has been like that for 3-4 races now. leading confidently and then dropped/crashed behind.

nobody amazed when he's leading.

great win by MM! last lap overtaking.

overall apart from petrucci vs marquez, it was quit a stale race. that's why i dun prefer wet race.

everyone was holding down and took little risk in fear of crashing.

van der mark will be replacing rossi at aragorn. rossi maybe out of contention also.

even for 1 or 2 races only, the point gap may already be too big by that time.

unless dovi or mm fucked up.

yeah, i think italian fans always prefer italian rider.

he is near 40... that ruthlessness & ferocity fading away.

sometimes, we can see glimpse of his pasts when he is pushing for the win.

more like he still race for fun & to entertain his loyal fans.

rossi will be racing at aragorn this weekend..

yup, that would be more realistic target.

rossi himself already said his return this weekend is not for his championship.

MV has good chance to capitalize on points from this race.
