Look, every time you yawn, you make Dani think he can climb into your mouth.
The take away seems obvious. People followed the conventional wisdom that HRC are always screwing up their own bikes as they did during they days of Spencer, Gardner, Doohan, and even Rossi (to an extent).
They don't understand that Nakamoto is a plain spoken Japanese executive who was put in charge of HRC to make changes.
I once opined that every HRC press release was a lie. Since Nakamoto, everything seems to be reported plainly with little or no ulterior motive. When he said the engine wasn't the problem and the bike wasn't broken, he wasn't toeing the company line like his predecessors. The RCV was simply not broken, and they needed a bit of time to make some adjustments for the tires.
Not spectacular hyperbole like Jumkie, but he'll be along eventually.

Nearly hit Redding, nearly hit Vinales, trolled Lorenzo for 1/2 lap, ran wide a half dozen times at turn one.
Standard fare for Marc

Hahaha, yeah I know. Apart from the qualifying tire and extra liters of fuel, the top 4 have been the top 4 machines just about...well always.
Where is JohnnyKnockdown when you need him? Here is a prediction: the top 4 will be some combination of factory Honda/Yamaha or Yamaha/Honda.

Look closely at the picture. Honda have outsourced their bikes that had design flaws to Yamaha. Which of course explains why they are 1-2 on the lap times today.

Well, there is a simple and quite clever physical explanation, Marquez has shackled his arm behind his back. It doesn't take a rocket appliance to understand this really has improved the aerodynamics for the RCV.

Dude, I wish I knew how to post .... like that. Thanks man.
Can you see if you can post Marc's almost torpedo of Redding in practice today? Its quite hilarious...well if you're not Redding's mom, or anybody else who prefers he be alive than dead.
