All credit to Bastianini of course, and the first assumption should be that he is better at preserving tires/riding on worn tires, but I wonder whether his version of the Ducati which was the best bike last year is also easiest on tires. Other riders on the new Ducatis and not just Jack seemed to run out of tires at the end of the race, not much of a problem for Bagnaia or Martin last year as I recall.
Sure, this is something Ducati will sort out soon you can be sure. Expect the GP22 leading the pack at the 2nd half of the season.
But despite GP21 still being a superior machine, Enea is looking like a thing I'd say. We must wait a bit more, but...
I think Miller didn't expect Rins coming to attack in that last lap. Too late for any reaction. Good race for him.
I'm impressed by MM one more time. What a rider he is. Incredible. I'd say he would win today if not by the problems at race start.
Nice race. But think a bit... we are having lots of different riders and machine fighting at the top at each weekend but I sincerely miss the times where we had that bitter rivalry between only 2 riders (Rossi x Biagi/Gibernau/Stoner/Lorenzo/MM, Stoner x Lorenzo, MM x Dovi, etc.). I am missing the "good guy" and the "bad guy" times. That was more engaging IMHO. Not very funny watching a rider win in a weekend and get lost in the back of the pack in the next one, lots of different riders winning here and there, motogp nowadays seeming like Mario Kart. Not that Mario Kart was boring but it's nice to have rivalries. Just saying... motogp is boring for me this way, I'd preffer the other way. bah...
Dorna has transformed motogp in a moto3/moto2 of 1000cc. I'm not used to this. I'm used to understand motogp as the last and final stage in the rider career, therefore it is obviously not like moto2/3. I'm missing the times where we got into the weekend knowing we would have a bloody battle between two aliens fighting for the top.
It's the first time in decades I'm not making a point of watching motogp anymore. I'm not getting excited anymore. I don't know how you feel about it right now but I feel this way. Strange times. This is not the thing that caught my heart in the early 2000 era. Sad times for my racing side. F1 is .... and now MotoGP is .....
When Rossi retired (actually since 2016) I somewhat felt this would happen but at least MM was making that bridge and now stupid Honda managers destroyed MM career and we are left with a bunch of average and boring riders. It's the first time there is not a single alien in motogp right now. Is this good? I don't think so. .... that .....
