BTW, if Pecco ends up losing the championship, he would break Jorge Lorenzo's record for most wins in a season while not winning the big trophy.

I can finally breathe again.
Did not expect Frantisek to pull it off in the rain. Fair play to him. He was the one that didn't make mistakes today.
Jörg listened to the warnings and didn't do something silly.
Acosta almost crashed a dozen times but it worked today. Would've loved to see Jack on the podium though, he came so ....... close.

I've just seen the first part of the race that I missed as I was watching time delayed and skipped forward. It seems that much of the action of the race was in the first part.
Bagnaia's one mistake, not really a 'mistake mistake' was his relatively poor start.

That was a loooooong race!
Impeccable ride from Pecco.
MM- entertaining as usual. His fall was an absolute bummer.
JM rode bravely. Great damage control in the end.
Pedro - great scrap for the podium. That was a nothing to lose ride if I’ve ever seen one.
Great ride to 4th by Fab Dig.

Was that Marc kicking his legs in frustration after his accident finally came to a halt?
That surprises me. I had no clue.
When I heard him speak for the first time I thought that was an Australian accent.
Though the lack of excessive usage of the word "mate" should've made me skeptical.
Well today's race vinidcates some of that

YesI was thinking that Marc would best Pecco and pull ahead. Today it was Pecco: 1, Marc 0. And I'm not sure in the wet the GP24 has as much advantage over the GP23 as it does in the dry. (I'm happy to hear contrary opinions.)Well today's race vinidcates some of that

I think the opposite.
KTM will never want to get rid of him, because he only believes that victories are relevant .

Martin almost crashed when Marc did. So lucky, else Baggy would be leading by 3 points. I believe someone will drop it of the two left in title race. I would prefer Martin the rocket to win, as that would dismantle princess next year with Marc piling on pressure.

I admit I was wrong about Vinales / Bezzecchi in PI, plenty of similar passes in the race with no issue.
My hot take today is that Morbidelli is often an ....., but his move was clean. He did not initiate contact, was in front and had the line. My guess is that had Fabio not turned in on him or not gone down there wouldn't have been a penalty.
Marc's move on Mir on the other hand was not clean, I might even say dirty. Marc did initiate contact, was not in front and did not have the line. Why he was only penalized one position (didn't see him drop one?) And Morbidelli got a long lap I don't understand, maybe someone can enlighten me.. Marc has a habit of banging riders out of the way after rejoining a race, and also a habit of banging Mir out of the way, so no surprise. I'd suggest he might be salty about Mir taking the seat he left, but I don't think Marc thinks that way.
Impressed with Acosta's ride. Was thinking that he should stay put behind Brad and just finish a race, but he managed quite a bit better.
Solid work from Bagnaia, championship isn't over yet!

If Pecco wins will he be as quick to credit his championship to Marc crashing, as he was to ..... about Alex taking him out?

Considering that there is only three riders who can compete at the front, as Bastianini would now be given team orders, we can assume that 1st - 3rd are the only places that are up for grabs for them.
25 - 20 - 16
12 - 9 - 7
It has become a slightly harder task for Bagnaia. He'll need to shrink the disadvantage down to 7 points in Sepang.
The only way, apart from a Martin crash, I see that happening is if Marquez manages to squeeze between the top two.
If not, Bagnaia will have a nine points gap going into Valencia.
Maybe Bastianini could mount one last race?
Pedro got a lot of .... thrown at him by us, myself included, for his series of crashes recently.
Was it completely undeserved? I wouldn't say so.
But we all shouldn't forget, out of 54 possible podiums this season, non-Ducatis have scored 7.
Pedro scored 5 of those 7, including the 3 sole podiums in the last 15 races.
He'll give Marc and Frantisek a run for their money next year, and Aki's mentoring surely should help reduce the amount of crashes.

Martin will be 9 points ahead if he finishes 2nd behind Frantisek in both races at Sepang

Morbidumbass doesn't deserve a ride in gp next year. I was really looking forward to seeing what Fabio could do today, but we were robbed of that by an underachieving .....
That was an awesome race. The young guns coming of age in the wet and not backing down. Pecco looked awesome with Martin giving it all he had. Both doing what they had to do. Acosta not only stayed upright, he took it to a podium finish. MM blinked, almost saved it, but almost doesn’t count. Morbidelli should find a real job. Yamaha looking a little better, could have even improved more if morbid had taken himself out right then instead of Fabio. Miller no doubt pissed at himself, Acosta finally showing some race craft.
