MotoGP, Di Giannatonio: "Marquez? If I knew how he makes a difference, I would too."

MotoGP: "Physically it was the worst day since the injury. My Sprint was a jungle, but in the GP I can do well," Bezzecchi: "In the first corner I was 7th, but my lowering device didn't unlock."

Bezzechi’s Ride Shyte Device failed to disengage at the start as well.

At least we know now why his gap was so large at the beginning. Just part of the learning experience I guess.

That was definitely a race of two halves. Great to see a debut win, and a debut podium. This is what Moto3 is about.

I don’t care if Alonso wins the championship this year but Colin Veijer is the most exciting rider on the Moto3 grid.

He’s a full sized human doing impossible things against mosquito sized competition.
This kid will be going places in Moto2.

Great rides by Rueda and Lunetta as well.

Aldeguer had a chance to make a lot of ground in the championship and hardcore bins it.

I think Aldeguer got overly ambitious, just wasn't the right time to go stuffing it up the inside at that point.

I'll be honest, I don't know entirely what Ducati see in him. Not that he is a bad rider or anything, but I'm uncertain about what his ceiling really is.

Jake Dixon with a great ride, kudos to him for making the most of it today.

On the flipside, Joe Roberts crashing out on the last lap seems to be within the realm of normalcy for him.

Well managed by Dixon up front who did his championship campaign huge favors today.

Good to see Tiger Tony back at the sharp end.

Ride of the day by Öncü. Excited to see what he can do in this class.

Good damage limitation by Ogura who is probably the biggest winner today in terms of the championship.

Aldeguer, Roberts and Garcia need to go home and sleep this off and focus back on the championship.

With how inconsistent everyone is, Jake ain't out of this championship.

Roberts buries his championship hopes in the gravel on the last lap.

Ogura with a champion's ride. Salvages 8 points from a race he wasn't even expected to contest.

ATTA BOY DENIZ!!!

I just missed the whole Moto2 race. When I came back from shopping, I was so surprised that the young people in the house were pro-actively starting a major clean-up, that I joined in. Intending to watch the race later I was going to close the MotoGP.com tab until 1pm, but the Moto2 podium was there. I'm switching off again as while I can guess who was on the top-step, I closed my eyes in time and it could be his team-mate.

I fear for the guys in the first lap.

Everything off line is treacherous as hell today.
You have no option but to go wide if the Ride Shyte Device (TM) does not go off.

Neither Bagnaia nor his team look very happy. This is a day of damage limitation for them I think.

Dorna and the FIM seem to be asleep at the wheel regarding how dangerous the Ride Height Devices are. I really hope no one gets injured because of them.

I didn't see this. But I guess maybe they haven't found any solutions with the setup options. Marc's data must be useless to even try to copy based on everything that's been said this weekend.

Well hopefully this is a clean race, no injuries and the like. Just good racing.

Shyte start for Bagnaia again but they’re all thankfully through safely.
