DesmoDovi is a decent rider and knows for sure how to handle this italian beast, but MM is by far the best rider of the pack (even though I dislike him since he destroyed VR46's championship a fe years back)!
Again a mediocre performance of JLo (he isn't worth any dime of his huge salary @Duc) and DP26 (this should be his last year @MotoGP)!
Great ride by Danilo, CrazyCarl and TopGun Vinales woke up to late to challenge at least the GOAT (VR46).
The old man is still in good shape and having for sure the #3 bike of this years championship (#1 = Duc, #2 = Honda) we won't see so many close battles as Qatar has always been in the past Yamaha-land...
Poor Rins to fall of the bike he was doing great whilst the Maniac AI wasn't been visible at all.

I'm more than disenchanted with the way Marquez flaunted the rules showing total disrespect for his fellow riders!
Plaudits though to Cal Crutchlow - first Brit, since Barry Sheene, to lead the championship...

Only just watched the race of last week... I was always a big Marquez fan, but this... I don't understand! I can imagine some kind of red mist, but come on... he's got so much experience by now, he should have known not to loose his cool...

Unbelievable move and he is a repeat offender... how are they letting this guy still keep his racing licence?

Good to hear he has been fired, he clearly has serious problems with self control and rage, it wasn't a one time thing. Unfortunately a person like that will be destructive to others where ever he goes, he can be responsible of doing anything without thinking the consequences like a normal person would.

That's probably the case I remembered. Canepa is still active in SBK?
Can't believe he got away with just a year ban

Well now reading this, it was in testing so I'm not sure if FIM even handles this before court, let alone gave a ban of any sort.
Front brake grab and kicking you off the gear are the classic dirty tricks so there probably are loads of cases in the past like this.

Totally fed up with Moto GP...
Now worse than F1 - no overtaking and Marquez beyond dominent!!
What's happened to Lorenzo?
Valentino Rossi - finished, but not surprising as he's now over 40...
Not worth watching any more - shame!

Marquez's domination has a lot to do with it, he is simply the greatest rider of all time. Nothing wrong with Lorenzo, he is just having to compete with the same bike with Marquez and that makes him look bad because no one is at the level of Marquez.
I have been following motorcycle racing since the epic duels between Wayne Rainey and Kevin Schwartz, followed the progress of greats like Rossi from 125cc till now, but I have never seen someone so above the everyone else as Marquez, so precoceous, so competitive, fearless and aggressive, so successful in a time with good competition (unlike Doohan's championships with Honda for example), someone who developed a new superior crazy driving style that everyone else is unsuccessfully trying to do to be able to compete with him, it is spectacular.
26 years old and already has a 125cc and Moto2 championships, and now 6 motoGP championships (6 of the last 7), and still has many years left...
Unfortunately now with him at his prime, has rendered motoGP uncompetitive, but at least it is because of a GOAT rider and not the bike, unlike F1 where it's just the best car that wins and not because to the driver...

I started watching MotoGP this year and.......WOW!
Amazing races! Quali and Races are so unpredictable! F1 is extremely boring comparing to MotoGP.
I guess this year is more fun to watch because unfortunately or fortunately Marc Marquez had that nasty accident in the first race and hes injured. .(He ran out of the track and recovered from last position to 3rd place in like 10 laps . Hes Honda team mates are always at the botton of the grid. He has insane skills...)
Rossi is a great rider. He's 41 years old and he finishes in top 5 most of the times.
Also, I'm rooting for the portuguese Miguel Oliveira #88 of course . Hes been performing well but unfortunately he is very unlucky. Last race was the 3rd time that a KTM rider crashed into him. He was 5th
For people bored with Formula 1, I strongly recommend watching MotoGP. You will not be disappointed
