Hahaha. People were lining up to bestow Alien status again. Nah, I should be fair, he beat VR in dramatic fashion at Aragon, kudos. But the groundhog has gone back into his cave.
Rossi still has a good chance of taking the championship.
The only thing that will stop him now is the crazy lorenzo streak.

Man of the Match ............... step forward Andrea Ianonne.
That was quite a special race highlighted for me by Ianonne's pass at MG after the Rossi block pass on Marquez ............... brilliant opportunistic overtake that really set a tone.
All up, a damn good race to sit through and watch as these guys put on such a show at close quarters with everything thrown by the master of Rossi, countered by Marquez and Ianonne.
Then of course the last lap, a few magic overtakes topped off by a new lap record on the last lap by Marquez.
And of course we must RIP C.Gull who will be sadly missed by the feathered fraternity
Oops, forgot to add ............. Lorenzo at the Hayshed, spectacular and not once but twice at least. For those that have not been to the track, the Hayshed is one mother of an off-camber corner that even taken very slowly (as I did) frightens the crap out of you
Also, credit to Vinales as well .............. a damn good solid race

Welcome. Title over. Been over. Sepang is VR territory. Marc on form preserves VR lead. Jlo (*edit) not winning today slams the nail in coffin.
Cue Yellow smoke.

Not since he broke both his ankles in the 250cc all those years ago.
The track just does not seem to be to his liking
Hello all. I'm routing for Rossi to win this Championship at this age. Maybe he's not the most deserving, maybe he is, but what we do know is he's been the most consistent rider this year, which places him at the top of the standings currently.
Its unfortunate for Rossi, that Pedrosa comes out victorious (out of nowhere mind you) in the scrap of his life at Aragon, and today Iannone rides the wheels off the Duc, making things closer than they would've been otherwise. If Rossi is going to win this thing, he's going to need to impose his will at Sepang and Valencia, two tracks he does well at historically. I think hoping to place close to Lorenzo is a losing strategy. Subtle, but it's more racing not to lose, than racing to win.
With that said this race was a real pants ....... the whole way through. Just wow! Great rides all around for the top 4, what else can you say? Lorenzo rode well, maybe the least remarkably out of the 4. That final lap by MM was simply sensational. To make up that much time on the final lap, and ride the fastest lap with burned tires. The Duc and Ianonne were fantastic. Rossi rode the most desperate of the four, pushing his machine to a pace he hadn't showed all weekend. It was special. The championship is tight, can't wait till next weekend!

Just wonder about Dovi, 13-th place at 29 seconds from winner, while Iannone is there fighting for the win. What happend to him?
Thanks!
Well today's race was by far the most amazing race I've ever seen.
Even though Rossi did not finish on the podium.
