Ogura takes it, as I predicted! :D
Proper masterclass there from #79, taking the lead of the championship in the process.

Canet probably holds a world record for the most number of 2nd place finishes.

Arbolino slowly getting his confidence back, he’ll be back to winning ways soon.

Gutted for Vietti, he definitely had race winning pace.

Very cerebral ride by Dixon. He caught Aldeguer in the end as well; the latter most likely is giving Ducati some buyer’s remorse, I’m sure.

Good damage limitation by Garcia. He did ride like he’s getting his mojo back. Hope he’ll be back to his usual form next time around. Camera shows him crying in the garage which was a hard watch.

All in all, not a very eventful race although it did have its moments.
 
Ai is getting a grip on this championship. Garcia has fallen off a cliff and I can't figure out why.
Joe has also fallen off a cliff, I guess it's cause of the WP riders catching up.

I am becoming less and less impressed with Aldeguer each race. I mean don't get me wrong, he could turn out to be a decent GP rider, but he's not really doing a good job of justifying this signing. I'm still not seeing the attraction to him.
 
I wondered why Forward put some unknown rider in as a replacement for Alex Escrig (Who spends more time being injured than on the bike), instead of giving Maria Herrera a shot as a reward for her performance in WCR.

Of course, there was a MotoE race this week.

Hope she gets a shot next time around. She deserves it IMO.
 
I just have to say, that while it's probably a shallow thing to have an opinion on, but I hate Canet's tattoos. They look stupid as ...., and going all the way up your neck is absolutely moronic. I can't take people seriously who do stuff like this and I generally do not mind tattoos. I'm half expecting him to show up at a GP weekend with his face entirely tattooed.

The only defense for him is that he’s decidedly bigger and heavier than his competition in Moto2; which won’t be a big factor in MotoGP.

I’m happy to be proven wrong as well, but as it stands now, I’m not too sure what all the hype for him is about.

He probably should retire in a Polynesian island where he’ll just be the average bob down the road.
 
Alright, all we have left is the main event!

Predictions?

I think Martin is going to give Pecco a major headache today if he gets a good start.

But it's also Sunday and Pecco is generally very strong on these days, especially at his home circuit. So I think it's his race to lose.

Maybe Enea can pull of his magic again today.

I wonder what Marc can do from P9. I'm still shaking my head at his overtake on Pedro yesterday in the sprint.
 
On to the big one, then.

Expecting Bagnaia to make amends for yesterday. Martin, though leading the championship , is still the underdog; his teammate probably has stronger loyalty to Ducati and VR46 and as such won’t be of much help, IMO.
 
Is there something in the water over at Repsol Honda?

Now Marini withdraws as well due to illness.

Oddsmakers had the championship heading into the weekend at a 21/20 for Pecco. But that is pretty much a 50-50. A Martin victory in the GP might break Ducati.

Someone call the Fire Services because I would like to report Arson.
