Well, the point about tennis was if you are not better decisively then you shouldn't complain when it slips away. In other words, don't put yourself into situation where such a call can make difference.

Sure Dovi is not a top 3 MotoGP rider all time, and nor is it likely imo that he is racing anyone this particular week end who is/will be a top 3 rider all time. | |

The comparison with tennis is apt, particularly at this level. The game is almost all mental when the mechanics are a given, or should be. Racing is the game as well in this case, although games are usually played with one ball.... I don’t understand Fabio revealing so much at this point in the proceedings. It makes me think he still has a lot to learn. It’s a little endearing certainly, but can also be seen as a sign of weakness. Why tell your opponents how you are playing the game? Unless you’re sandbagging of course.......up it a level! |

Thing is, the draft from a few lengths further back doesn’t help the lead rider, only when they are nose to tail. In fact I have heard rider reports a rider in front can feel the effects of another bike a couple lengths back on the engine in 5th and 6th gears, holding it back. I don’t have an understanding of the physics why.

Could have been obviated by him being faster than Jack Miller or not in Q1 in the first place I guess, but 3 tows is perhaps excessive and I have never been much of a Petrucci fan in any case. | |

2 excellent weekends for Alex Marquez in a row. Strongly starting to think that HRC made the wrong call replacing him with Pol.

Mir looking great for the title now. But it’s closed up so much that it’s still anyone’s game.

Amazing race. I said I predicted Nakagami for a podium and he was 5th so I wasn’t too far off. Alex Marquez is really impressive.
