I like an optimist, but I don't think its likely.
The fact that a KTM is 4th says to me anyone below 1st is nowhere.

I'm disheartened for Rossi but at least it was Rins who won, he thoroughly deserved it.
I'm glad Yamaha has made big steps as it seems, comparing to last year which was a total nightmare.
PS I damn knew it something was weird when I saw that Vinales only lost one position at the start, I turned to my dad and told him "He surely must have jumped the start!" ! Hahah

I think Yamaha still needs lots of work. I reckon if Cal and Marc had stayed onboard, they'd have been well off into the distance. The Hondas are very strong this year. Cal is battling for podiums at every race.

So much for COTA being a Honda track. Sure was fun watching Rossi go for it, and even more fun watching Rins handily beat him on a Suzuki. Very odd to see Miller as top Ducati. Don't know what was messing up Dovi at the beginning of the weekend - but he did work it out Another lap and a half and he would have been on the podium. Very happy for the gang at Suzuki. I remember being so pleased when they returned to the series. A great boost for morale. Marquez going down with that giant cushion couldn't help reminding me of Stoner back in the day doing the same thing.
Chain jumped off the sprocket.

Any official word on what went wrong w Lorenzo's bike today? He said yesterday that the chain issue was some kind of inherent design defect. Kind of hard to believe considering how reliable the Hondas have been.

It overheated because it wasn't moving fast enough.

Deja Vue LOL.
In the race as well
Not sure how to put this, but are the teams being sneaky, Vinales pit board was not right the 1st time, so he drops like a stone using the long laps twice, then its corrected to say its a ride through, if that had been me I'd be looking for the bloke who wants to wear his face on the back of his head.
Then it goes per shaped for Lorenzo with another technical problem, okay the guys injured but it still smells.

Thing is until this season "penalty" has only ever meant ride through. It's the first time it's happened like this and will be a lesson to all teams. Gotta say, they should have also been relaying via dashboard message. Also, after his first 'long lap'. Team should have registered, if they were aware.

MM's fall was a result of Dorna having hired an infamous Swiss nano-neurologist who spiked his energy drink with the latest in nano tech bots that were perfectly timed to grow in his brain, which on cue crawled out his ear and forced his throttle hand to lose control just long enough to make him crash, because Carmello wants to keep things interesting, or at least that's what he believes. In fact he's been brain-washed to think this by Italian Illuminatii using cellular technology gleaned from ancient Druid texts kept hidden from view in a secret library underneath the Vatican restroom.
Cal fell because . . . well, he's Cal.
