I don’t think a lot was revealed in the race that we didn’t know before. Marquez is in a league of his own and can only beat himself. Honda is nowhere without him despite having excellent talent on their bikes.
Rins is quick and legit.
Dovi and Ducati have weak tracks.
Quatararo is talented.
Rossi races better than he qualifies.
The only real surprise was Vinales’ early pace. If he can continue that he can challenge for wins easily. Its hard to have faith that this isn’t a one off though.
Even without my bias it’s hard to go past Marquez romping towards another championship this year. Between now and the end of the season the only races were Dovi should be favoured to beat Marquez are Austria, Brno and Mugello. 2 of those tracks Marquez goes well at while on Ducati’s and Dovi’s weaker tracks it’s not unreasonable to favour Rins and a Yamaha to beat Dovi across the line.
It could be a great showdown for #2 in the championship but it’s hard to imagine Marquez self destructing like he did in 2015.

I'd stay away from that ..... I think it's cut with strychnine.
I'm 28 and never smoked anything in my life. Always been strongly against it...and guess it's too late to start anyways. But if I had to, I'd go with something that'd send me straight to space, so at least I'd have stories to tell afterwards

So, this is why you have an avatar of some dude taking a heavy drag off a ...? The interwebz are/is so weird. Correction: the people on the interwebz are so weird. I should know - I am a pony.I'm 28 and never smoked anything in my life. Always been strongly against it...and guess it's too late to start anyways.

I have seen conflicting reports on what the Petronas team is riding. Originally, it was suppose to be one tier two and one year old bike. The latest I have seen is that they both get current spec bikes. Anyone have a GOOD link to the truth?
Either way, I think it shows that the MovieStar team may not be as stellar as some would like. Either the kids are faster on the same equipment or faster on older equipment. Not good for Yamaha team one. Full disclosure, I have never been a MV fan, so I was actually surprised he even got a third. If not for a mechanical failure, would he have even had that show?
I really never spend time in discussions with addicted people. But I recommend you to get out of any little green in order to keep some cognitive skill so you can understand simple logical reasoning, and thus, we can engage some discussion. Right now you don't look like any capable.

Ok, mate. You put your point, I put mine, so that is it. Both you and me probably won't change our minds at this point in time. Maybe later in the season.
The main problem of Ducati, Suzuki and Yamaha is a certain Spaniard called Marc Marquez.
The Honda is clearly one of the best bikes, with the best rider.
For Dovi, Rossi or Rins to beat him, they need to have some sort of equipment advantage - and that's hard when HRC are on their A game.

Right. (fixed that game rating) The bike has obviously improved, but it really is MM, isn't it? Honda has had chains falling off, shifter problem, etc. It is not a perfect machine, that is for sure.
Other Hondas finished: 8,9,10,12. Not exactly dominating, are they? The standings are similar after 4 races. It seems the thing making Honda look good is Marc Marquez.

At last some sense. Livio Suppo is quoted in an interview as saying HRC would be in real trouble without Marc.

If you don't know who the "dude" in my avatar is, it means you have very little knowledge of the history of motorcycle racing
then again tho, you are a pony, so that's fine.However I made a JOKE to gui just to state I disagree with several parts of that one post, thought we're all old enough to get it and certainly wasn't really trying to piss anyone off.
I am only happy to read a different opinion as this is a forum, if we all had the same thoughts it'd be cult set wouldn't it
Peace pony

Save your intelligence for some one else. Talking to this guy is a waste of time. Look back on most of his post....

OT:
I'm well aware of the fact that he never won a title while Agostini won 15, but I'd pick Pasolini over Ago any day. Amazing character and charisma. I did not witness his career as he died decades before I was even born, but still I'm blown away by his personality and riding style.
