I was going to start with Joe Roberts but that wouldn’t really be fair to KTM and BB would it? The GP race was awesome! That move around the outside by Binder to get through the traffic was ballsy, and if I’m honest I figured on him cooking his tires with the way he was riding. Looking back at it now we know KTM just had it dialed in better than anyone else. Super pumped for the kid and for KTM, I hope they keep it going! I’m a bit split on the Zarco/Pol incident. I know Zarco should have yielded, not cause he could see Pol because he couldn’t, but because he should have known Pol would be there. I also am firmly in the Zarco hater group. Also, Pol just blew two consecutive corners and I’m sorry but if you blow the corner you don’t have right to the line. Also, the way Zarco pulled off that long lap penalty was nuts. So maybe I hate him less now? Great run from FM as well, he had a solid weekend except for his silly FP3 crash. Really humble dude, really smart race knowing he didn’t have the winning pace, glad he got his first trip to the podium.
Great job by Joe in Moto2. His start was weak as hell but I’m not sure it would have made much difference, EB is on fire right now. They were clearly looking for him to press hard and try and gap the field early with that tire choice, good on him for managing it well towards the end when it went away. Lastly, you only get your first podium once so WOW for big style points and balls crossing the line with a stand up whoolie!
Great race weekend all together. Got my moneys worth for sure.
