Had they told Marc that his lap was cancelled immediately, he would've attempted a few more tries. Waiting until the session is ending to cancel his lap is absolute .........

If it took them THAT ....... LONG to figure it out, what did they do, pull out a ruler and plaster it on the TV?

Bagnaia on the front row with Martin on the 4th. I’d like to say that will tighten the points but let’s wait for the DNF’(s)

I gather not from the track sensors, but from TV footage, which is wrong imo in practice for the very reason that the decision comes too late. Probably won’t make much difference if the race is damp.

Hoping Jörg can save as many points as possible.
Marc will definitely make his way to the front, question is will he crash on the way there?

Only one Ducati on the front row. (Yes, I haven't seen qualifying yet).

Maverick is the shittiest starter I have ever seen in my life. It shouldn't be possible to be this bad at launching.

FFS Binder with a mechanical. I was just about to call him out for a possible P3.

This is one of those races Pecco really needs to win, but it looks like he is starting to lose pace ever so slightly.
