Yeah, I think I only breathed twice during the whole race 🤣
Just settling in to watch the whole thing over again, morning warm ups just finishing.

Quite a stylish disembarkation though. 
Dunno about picking a winner, Cal Cruchlow ? Why not. 
but it could well be a KTM rider.

I was impressed with the fortitude and elegance of the dismount, too. 8 / 10. I've only ever attempted the big step off on a wintry moor.
Dovi seems to be the most consistent but I've never seen MotoGP be such a lottery.
I would like to see Suzuki at the pointy end more often, Rins meerkat riding style cracks me up and Mir is hitting his straps.
The Pol and Brad show is pretty epic.

Suzuki have made mahoosive gains, as have KTM. Yamaha haven't.
I enjoyed watching Jack Miller, very smooth and stylish when braking and entering the turns, none of the leg dangling there. Certainly seems a lot more entertaining with Marquez throwing a sick note in.

+1 much more interesting than the MM Show.

Think Dorna should pay him to stay away, mind you this is the first real injury he has had so just may slow him down a bit.
For a challenging summer try the

It's interesting to watch the variety of winners. Some new talent coming in - e.g. Binder. Strange that big manufacturers like Yamaha and Honda making a pigs ear of things. Just hope that there aren't any more of these scary accidents.
I still prefer watching WSB though. I know it tends to be the Jonathan Rae show more often than not these days but there's a lot fewer under nourished midgets than in Moto GP - some of them look like they should be in hospital rather than riding a 200mph bike, Rossi is a prime example. Plus there are more races in a weekend in WSB which = more enjoyment for me.

For your entertainment...........
Rossi is 5' 11" = one of the world's taller midgets 
(he and many others do look underfed esp. compared to me).
Bradley Smith is a similar height. to Rossi (a tad taller)
Cal Crutchlow tips in at 5' 7"
Piano teeth is 5' 6"
Dani Pedrosa is 5' 2"
Leon Haslam 5' 5"
Jonathan Rea 5' 10"
Meanwhile in the 3:30 at Kempton................
Willie Carson 5' blot
Lester Piggott 5' 8"
Stop giving them watches n cars for winning and use the cake handicap system instead.
