I was quite correct in what I said. Because you were so desperate to take exception to something (called manufacturing drama) you made a unfounded and idiotic comment. Stop trying to rationalize it.

Going to be the big question no doubt.
Never saw any numbers out of the recent Jerez test Honda did, but hopefully they have made considerable ground up there since last year. Would be nice to get a good 3 or 4 way battle up at the front between between Honda and Yamaha. I wonder where Ducati is on that fairing of theirs. They need help.

He needs to do more of the braking move he used on one defense of Iannone down into turn 11 where he braked much later than he normally was.

If Jlo is uncomfortable with the front tire, he is going to be slower in transition and definitely not trail braking much. We know the Michelin lacks the feel of the Bridgestone from what the riders have said, and we know Lorenzo rides the front, so what do you expect with a bike that isn't as neutral as the Yamaha?
I do think the riders are getting more use to the tire, however, and things may start to change for the better rather than worse for everyone and not just those on factory Yamahas. Dani is a good indication, I think. We need to see Dovi and or Jlo more consistent, and things will be vastly different the rest of the year, imo.

Too early to gloat, man. And gloating is always in bad taste. It could be Rossi's Hayden year, for sure. Not much threat for third at this point, but it is awfully early. You don't want your detractors coming back with big ugly sticks, later.

Round 3 of 18
I might be in the minority here but I thought Rossis penalty was pretty weak. Zarco fairly gained a position and picked Rossi up(in the same way Rossi did to Lorenzo last year and many others) yet Rossi rode outside track limits, gained the position back and closed up on Marquez.
Good ride from Rossi either way, Dani clearly had tyre issues at the end to drop off that much and the usual Austin Masterclass from Marquez.
What's Vudu now saying about Vinaeles being in Marquezs head?

Could not make a judgement call re: Rossi being irresponsible or whatever. That said, when I saw how wide he went - my first thought was, he's too good a rider to get THAT thrown off by a bit of touch, and that he was likely, taking overmuch advantage of the incident. Even if that were not the case, I would agree with RD in that even if it's a given that he didn't exaggerate the cut-across, he did gain a few tenths that he didn't earn. I think it's that simple.

And position. That's my issue is that he gained a position and was not penalised for gaining the position.

It differs from Rossi standing up Lorenzo at Misano because there Rossi beat Lorenzo to the apex. Zarco was late with his attempt to get in front of Rossi so as Rossi was about to hit the apex they were on a collision course. A block pass should be executed before the apex, but Zarco was in a hurry to try to take advantage of the mistake from Rossi two corners earlier.
Vinales making a mistake and crashing doesn't mean Marquez didn't consider him a major threat going into the race.

Wrong forum I know, but Danny Kent has left Kiefer Racing due to 'irreconcilable differences'.

Third place for third place, where exactly did he lose the place?
I thought he either gets no penalty at all ir has to give the position to zarco, Rossi ran off but yet was able to get back ahead and in fact closer to the rider in front. He could have rejoined and left Zarco past. Bit of a fair game mate, you got me but lucky I didn't fall off altogether.
Due to the corners, he was able to cut the track. Long left hander or grass/gravel and it was a few spots or crash from being dived under and forced to sit up.
That's my take
