I rewatched it just to check, it looked like there was two actions but the first one was still after the lights went out but before anyone else had reacted.
Could be possible, I just saw him move before anyone else. They didn't show any replays.

Yes the yellow flags and air pressure rules ruin MotoGP as the safety car does to Formula1
Cant think of a more boring sprint though, the only highlight being how close MM beat Top-Revs to the line

Another snoozer of a race.
No one can race anymore because of the godd*mn aero. It's complete sh*t and we still have 2 1/2 more years of this f*cking bullsh*t.
Kudos to Trackhouse for finally showing something today, not sure what tomorrow will look like for them.
I have a theory that Pecco benefits more from tracks that have braking zones that require more braking in a straight line than a circuit like the Sachsenring where you are constantly leaned over for most of the lap with only a couple of straight braking zones. Don't mistake that for me saying he sucks at braking or something of that nature, I just think his braking strength is not on a circuit like this one. Doesn't mean he can't win tomorrow or anything, just will take a little more work than he's gotten used to the past number of races.
Martin rode well, I still think he's going to cough up the points lead before we know it. But hey who knows, anything is possible tomorrow.

Another impressive start by pecker, sparkling as a nice bottle of prosecco, you got to give him that

He still saves plenty. In my humble opinion, the reason we don't see more is because he doesn't need to explore the outer limits of rideability, as he did with the Honda.
I tend to watch the Friday sessions as well, when work permits, and from memory, I'd say he is the Ducati rider who has saved the most crashes this season.

Very impressive race by Oliveira! Also good job by Martin and Bastianini.
Shame that Acosta ran wide, although you want him to explore the limits this week season

It didn’t feel like a snoozer to me. It seemed that riders who were able to pass did so. Sure aero has affected everything, as all rules do. Those who adapt best naturally have the best results.
Marc had one helluva save in turn one today and probably had the save of the season so far at Le Mans.
I feel like Acosta isn't quite the same as early in the season. The crash at Jerez definitely impacted him but I have zero doubt he'll be able to recover from that. We shouldn't forget this is his rookie season.
Oliveira found his form at just the right time, he badly needed a result like this. Another Top 5 run tomorrow should bring him in a good position for contract negotiations.

Yes, Marc still makes saves. He just needs to make fewer when the bike is the best one on the grid.
Is Acosta a bit further back because the others are quicker, due to development?

Personally I think that any race that has that double pass by Bagnaia at the start, and that race-winning pass by Martin on Bagnaia absolutely cannot be a snoozefest.

Then you clearly have never watched a good race if thats all you need to get excited. I almost felt asleep
I share the disappointment. The politics intervened.
Well on another note, my nephew lives in Leipzig. Even though I said I wasn’t going to another MGP race live, I might make an exception for the Sachsenring. It seems like a really great track for spectators. I’ll have to time a visit for that race!
I was waiting for "Mapping 8" to show up on Enea's dash.

I was thinking the same, just in time for Oliveria's silly season
I wonder what trackhouse found? having both bike at the pointy end is something they haven't done before
