    Nice show from Dovi.
    With Lorenzo's mistake and Rossi's somewhat anonymous race, Marquez seems to be promised the title now...
    Ducati seems to have the best bike but will almost undoubly miss the titles - looks like a Ferrari fate...

    Yeah, it would be a massive achievement to catch Marquez. I am loving these battles up front that seem to go on throughout an entire race.

    I am really hoping these Yamahas get up to speed before the end of the season - I'd hate to see the season close out with them on a downswing.

    F1 has been getting better, but I still love Moto GP Sundays more. The VideoPass now uses html5 video, I think, and doesn't require Flash anymore. It's been much more stable since the change, with me always getting the highest resolution possible. Worth every penny to see all three races like that. :)

    Marquez is at the peak of his form. Love him or hate him, he's the best rider out there right now.

    Speaking of Moto2 how about Romano Fenati grabbing another rider’s brake lever while passing him? Talk about ending a career, banned for 2 races, current team sacked him and MV Agusta has fired him for next season. This guy and Santino Ferrucci should hang out together.

    That actually ruined my morning. Which is one reason I stopped posting about the races. It even made national news, it was so sick.

    Fenati to appear before FIM. Do they pull his racing credentials?

    He shouldn't even be allow to operate a vehicle on public roads. Turning off another riders bike a few years ago, kicking another rider during a race, and now this.

    Yeah, I saw some of Fenati's clips - unbelievable! I'm surprised any team would want him. Kicking another rider, and nailing a guy's brake can be viewed as attempted murder if it were taken to an extreme. Shutting off a rider's bike before a session starts is actually a bit funny - if only it was done in jest.

    The Moto 3 race was crazy. Two in the lead group out at the last turn before the finish line!

    If it's proper battles throughout the season, I don't mind Marquez/Lorenzo winning.
    At this rate, we're gonna see Marquez pass Rossi in Championships sooner than later.

    Marquez is something else. When he finally calls it a day, he will probably own most MotoGP records.

    Not a great race for lead contention, but for 2nd place - WOW! Great battles between 4 or 5 guys for that 2nd step on the podium, while Vinales held the lead comfortably. Great day for Yamaha - they sure needed it.

    What a shame! Vale was on his way to winning, and he crashes out with a few laps to go. Nonetheless, not much for Yamaha to gain this year, but good way to end the season showing them being competitive again.
