Frankie a couple of years back on Petronas? Possibly not leading though, but close.

Of course it is. I am surprised he didn't yield even without being asked. The gap at the top is in single digits. Didn't make sense to me and a red mist whilst racing for 7th?
Pecco doesn't seem too concerned publicly.
‘Pissed off’ Bagnaia loses title lead, but defends lack of team orders
A nightmare Qualifying 1 exit and frustrating Mandalika Sprint saw Francesco Bagnaia stripped of the MotoGP title lead he has held since April.

Ironically us spectators don't like team orders but we also don't like seeing no team orders

It's perfectly legal to wreck Brad but Brad isn't allowed to wreck anyone.

That was dramatic. Races are never decided until the end, and Martín paid with overconfidence, his title lead only lasting only one day; oh well, time to learn from this. I wonder if this will shake his form. Pecco, what a race, absolutely extraordinary and his best ever; I know a lot of people don't rate him as high as other riders but this was a career defining moment for him. Great races by Mav and Fabio too, I wonder if any of them could've gotten the win if they hadn't been battling each other. Binder with a total wreck job and even then he still finished 5th not too far behind the top 3, preceded by Di Giannantonio with the best ride of his MotoGP career so far, a little too late for him.
Next week, the best race in the world.

Anyone who says that MotoGP is boring needs to watch the replay of that one
Pretty much yes. It’s not the first time either. Even with two long laps, still not a bad finish. What could have been…..

Did Brad Binder .... someones wife at race direction? Someone really hates him. I'd be interested in how many points he has lost due to penalties.

Big congratulations to Michelin on celebrating their 500th victory in motogp. What an accomplishment with all the stiff competition.

I've said it before but none of the new crop of riders strike me as the strategist type. They know how to go fast but beyond that...

I have had the same thought since Mir won the championship. It seems less about who wins the championship and more to do with who didn't lose it.

I don't think Pecco is any sharper.
Martin wasn't pushing. His front tire just let go. Probably not a fluke that Pramacs other bike fell over in the exact same place.
