Huh?

[ducatirdr]

Ya I need more coffee today.

[jimmycapp]

Interesting they're going back to Misano next. I guess that's to replace Australia?

[MUZ720]

Wooowhaaaa

[Paul_E_D]

Yeah, interesting race, if not super exciting. But a well deserved championship for sure. He has been so close to dominating for a while now.

[BMMCBR]

While I think Quarter Dude deserves the hell out of this, I did also want to see it go down the wire. Bummer on Pecco's part.

Nice to see Bastianini take podium too.

[Philkinson]

A few up's and down on that race. I really loved Marini's livery and matching suit - very cool. I wish Vale would have done something like that.

Happy to see Marc win another race... I wonder if he will finish 4th in the championship? That would be something special.

Haven't seen moto2 or moto3 yet

Giggled when Miller binned it, didn’t giggle when Pecco did…Fabio is the man, can’t wait for the title defense next season.

[Paul_E_D]

Fabio's crash was strange. He had a solid lead and just got too aggressive on the brakes on the paint. That thing locked instantly. I did that in T3 at loudon this year. Surprised the hell out of myself, but lesson learned. In Pecco's case though, that was a HARD pill to swallow. Ducati can't be too pleased with him right now.

[OreoGaborio]

I'm pretty sure the neighbors heard me, when Pecco.......... you know...

Hard compound front tire and the temp started to drop, looked like most cold crashes to me. And having done it more then once, all is well one minute and then... I am sure Ducati is not happy but who made the tire choice as both factory bikes where on hard fronts? Don't think you can fault Pecco..

[Kenn157]

Fabio's crash? Ducati's home test track and ( I love them both) Pecco and Miller crash same spot. They should have been in Asia with warmer tracks. Thanks covid yiu bitch.

[JettaJayGLS]

I think Jack actually had a little more pace while he was following, and think running slightly, slightly slower may have been the cause of a marginal front tire temp drop for him.

Pecco lost it trying to make a break from Marc, so I wouldn't blame a cold front. That's kudo's to Marc for forcing that one. Even though Pecco handled Marc's charge beautifully just a few races earlier, I don't think he wanted to relive that experience.

This is such a long, hilarious video.

Pecco looked every bit as composed as last time and his lap times reflected that... In the moments leading up to his crash the air temps dropped pretty significantly according to Simon and he thinks that was the biggest contributing factor. I'm inclined to agree.

[JettaJayGLS]

Well I'll be. I haven't watched after the flag yet (waiting to watch Moto 2 & 3).
Was going off of what I saw live.

I dunno why but I think I'd trust Simon with my life. Best thing to happen to the MotoGP brand in recent years.
Worst thing was like 3-4 years ago when they updated the damn theme music. I still hum the old one every time.

[MUZ720]

Simon knows his stuff around GP bikes that's for sure... I loved it when he was interviewing the Honda team boss and pointed out the different chassis MM was using. The man was taken back and said your very observant, Like no was was suppose to know that by looking! Sometimes a tad long winded but very informative...

Marc is out of this weekends race. Concussion in training. Wtf

[Paul_E_D]

Damnit! Things were just getting interesting. I have serious doubts if Marc will ever be dominant again.

[OreoGaborio]

Big oof... that sucks.
