Historical moments reached by Marc, so happy for him. He gave me goosebumps I swear...
Concerning that Crash between Alex and Pecco, I would say it's 50/50. Both of them choose to fight for all at this moment.
I don't trust AM when he said he didn't know Pecco was behind, it's obvious he has heard Pecco's engine after he gone wide ... BUT he was on the line at the next fatal corner. Pecco choose to overtake him by the outside and he just cut the line to AM. And this is not the first time Pecco did this kind of move (I remember he did the same to Vinales at Le Mans, and finished in the gravels).

Didn't he say he couldn't see him, not that he didn't know he was behind him/close? That is a big difference. Didn't see him is fair, didn't hear him is extremely unlikely IMO.

Would Bezzecchi have made the same comment if the positions have been reversed, ie Alex went around the outside and Bagnaia hit him on the inside?

Yeah, I noticed that as well. Not sure if they should have pushed him or not but I will miss Simon's analysis and insights next season.
He may not have been everyone's cup of tea, especially when he first started but he always had great insights IMO.

Holy ...., my opinion of him really lowered after hearing what he had to say about it. I would expect that type of opinion to come from a rookie, not someone with two premier class titles. I don't understand how he couldn't even consider the possibility of AM not being able to see him on the outside.

I figured I’d save Mdub the keystrokes. He was thinking it.

Crafar says 70% Alex, 30% Bagnaia. I take that as racing incident but if Crafar was already in charge of safety would he invoke a penalty on one or both of them?

Simon Crafart is to the Vr dude ranch what fox news is to the Republicans. Find one time he has ever said anything negative about the ranchers.

They're all on board with that. Freakin' Nick Harris has used the phrase "nine times world champion Valentino Rossi" more times than he's said the names of his children. Wouldn't be surprised if he calls out Valentino! when he's boning his wife.

I absolutely feel you. Between losing my grandma in 2022, my grandad in 23, dropping out of college the same year and a beautiful girl telling me goodbye this year I went through some hugely depressive episodes and watching my sporting heroes has helped me throughout this time.
I became a fan of Marc the second he passed Rossi in the corkscrew at Laguna Seca and haven't looked back.
When I said this victory was a wholesome moment I meant not only for Marc but also for me and all of his fans who suffered with him through the last four years.

He's still in the hunt for the title this year in my humble opinion.
