Me thinks that as long as Martin stays on the bike the rest of the way he's gonna win it all.
If that comes to pass then I suspect Pecco will be pressured in to at least one mistake.

I try to be offended at least once a month so I don't lose the art !

Hey, perhaps an offending service would be a good business idea? Everyone who gets pissed off with nannying society can call and be offended.

I hope not. He trys very hard and has done a lot of winning. He has been very successful prior to the open class. The bike is clearly not there yet.
He is a very good rider but with the aero and ride height it looks easier to crash when over the limit, and he has been.

That is the second one. It did look very close. I saw him go on the blue also but that isn't penalised apparently.
I didn't see him touch the green after that and the second one was skating on the edge it seemed.

Glad I wasn't here then.
Don't find personal abuse between posters enlightening to read. I come here to read and talk about motoGP racing and that is interesting

You say that but you missed out on one of the worlds greatest poems written about a member named barrymachine. Arrabiatta is not just a great corner at mugello but a wordsmith as well.

Yeah maybe. I've read some good insights on MotoGP though so it's still going alright. I like it anyway.
Had a few laughs too.

It was ....... wild around here back in the day. Lots of big personalities. There were a lot more active members and a .... ton more Rossi fanatics along with the Stoner boners from Australia.Yeah maybe. I've read some good insights on MotoGP though so it's still going alright. I like it anyway.

I missed a fair bit of the Stoner years. Life got in the way with work and kids. He looked to have a difficult personality but was sublime on the bike.
Rossi I was ambivalent to. Can't stand the kahn now though.

Stoner caused a lot of heated debates on the forum in his days. He was a guy you either loved or hated. His fans were in his corner and ready to back him up at all cost. It was a lot of fun with all the aussies back in the day. A few are left. MichaelM and Gaz. Both of which I had heated debates with but grew to really love as people.

Those are Misano curbs according to Oxley. Supposed to lose more time than you gain by using too much curb. Doesn't make total sense as he overused same curb previously earning the track limits warning in the first place.

Agreed.
I just woke up needing to urinate (of a certain age). I guess I won't go back to sleep so will see the races live.
I dreamed that two kiwi cartoonists had invented NZ's greatest cartoon character ever. They had him in a bucket. But, he was such an offensive little blighter with a steady stream of invective, obsenity, and strange fluids coming out of the bucket that they decided to flush him down the toilet and he was lost forever.

Why is Moto3 reduced to only 12 laps?
EDIT: Rain. Half on slicks half on wets. Alonso on wets. Another crapshoot like Moto2 some races ago?
David Alonso - please make the right choice.
EDIT: Everyone on wets except for Eddie O'Shea. I guess Alonso is on the right tyres or we get an O'Shea victory. It becomes - I hope that Alonso stays upright.
EDIT: More rain. Just as Alonso hits the front.

History in action. Great race there and well deserved record for Alonso. I guess that Furusatu gets the position even though he and the bike slid over the line on the ground? EDIT: Furusato is a DNF even though he crossed the line? Or was that a different line? EDIT: Currently in fifth, but commentators say he will likely lose that. EDIT: Furusato's position stands. I've never seen that before.
Now on to Ogura sealing the championship.

Alonso once again unbeatable, the other guys gotta be glad he's moving up.
Shame Furusato got taken out, he looked like he could win at one point.
Per my understanding of the rules Furusato can't be credited with a finish because rider and bike didn't cross the finish line as a unity.
Moron wrecks himself and his teammate on the penultimate lap.
