If he actually did that stewards would've spotted earlier & someone would've complained to them.

At this rate Dovi can pull a Nicky Hayden & be content with finishing on podium until final race but the consistency from title contenders are shocking

When Doohan was forced to retire in 1999, Criville & KR Jr stepped up but it was mostly Criville who dominated (thanks to the bike). Pretty much similiar this year but no one has the consistency.

1999 250cc battle is tame compared to the previous year. 1999 was just confirmation of Rossi's talent.

At first I was wondering how Petronas SRT outperformed factory Yamaha but I was remindered that they have former Lorenzo's crew chief. A bit like how Rossi used to outperform anyone on a "satellite" Honda in 500cc days. Razlan really pulled a masterstroke there.

Pretty much confirms Martin is going to Pramac. A great step up for Remy too.

Yes & yes. Zarco is expected to be promoted to Pramac with factory bike & Rabat probably keeps his ride at Avintia. Next year's lineup is almost complete except the second SRT seat (Rossi?) & Aprilia's second seat (either they keep Smith until Iannone's suspension ends middle of next year or someone else).

Marini might end up promoted to premier class.

Qualifying: "everything is good."

Race day: "everything is bad/I've made a mistake."

Typical Vinales script

Raining now. Simon Crafar was right.

Ps: red flagged

The track dried out almost immediately. Capirossi simply stated the track is fine.

Unless the rain comes back later in premier class...

Italian winner in Moto2 & Moto3... Bagnaia next?

I think the problem isn't pressure but handling the pressure. Vinales is a neo-Gibernau.

Dovi is barely hanging on the championship lead by a single point. If only he can do better in quali...

Bagnaia still has a lot to work on. Hard to digest that surely.

"If I crash, I don't want to crash alone, I want to bring Lorenzo down with me" - Rossi, Fastest.

I think Rossi might end up with his own team in 2022.

I think Dovi's terrible quali performances might end up biting him back. If he can make it to Q2 consistently in next races the worse he could do in race proper is top 5.

What & where's next for Alex Briggs? This guy has been at the paddock since Doohan days.

Embarassing from factory Yamaha. The Japanese big bosses should amalgamate the factory team & Petronas SRT & appoint Razlan as team principle. Yamaha is no longer the top dog after Brivio left.

If this race was 2-3 laps longer, both Suzuki riders could've give Quartararo a scare. Quartararo complained his tyres barely made it to the end. I don't know how Suzuki made those Michelin tyres durable like Bridgestone. If only Suzuki qualified higher...

Biggest loser is Dovi obviously, although not his fault. A bit disappointed with Miller (terrible mid & late race pace, he's the opposite of Vinales).
