2020 Grande Prémio MEO de Portugal

I very much agree, I don't think Ive watched any feeder races since Sic vs Ayoma.

2-smokes are what i consider racers, not CBR 600 engines. Casey Stoner may still be racing if we had 750 2-strokes...imagine that beast.

I think Casey's main problem is Chronic Fatigue Syndrome for which he is actively advocating a greater awareness of and treatment development. He was initially thought to just have a lactose intolerance but it has turned out to be more than that.
 
I just watched the post-race conference. 40+ mins!! I was wondering what were they talking about for so long, but I enjoyed every minute of it. MotoGP is looking really good. There are a lot of strong riders on the grid with strong personalities.

I'm really impressed with how Jack Miller has improved over the last 3yrs and when I listened to him describe his off-season etc., I have new-found respect for his talent. Both himself and Morbidelli improved a lot through improving their own self-discipline and work in around the races as well as their fitness.

Miguel, I didn't really know prior to MotoGP but I fully expect him to feature at the front and will likely be a potent teammate against Binder.

I do think the 2020 Yamaha has just been difficult to extract consistent performance out of and that the riders have had to put up with a lot of criticism for it. FQ got himself all flustered over it and this didn't help his cause, but he will likely learn. His ability to do so is palpable.

Someone mentioned Franco having an attitude problem. This may be the case, but like Dovi, he is fascinating to listen to and has this tendency of frankly saying things as he sees it, even though it may be potentially contentious.
