Definitely an interesting weekend of racing. That was definitely the most star studded Q1 session I've seen. And when I watched MM's highside in FP I thought his career was over...but, remarkably after he slowly lifted himself from the gravel and made his way back to the pits-maybe not. I was really happy to see KTM get it figured out and for Suzuki to get some results. As for Pecca B., not sure what to think. Maybe a red bike will win the next one. Colin

As much as I love watching MAR ride, he has to be thinking about the rest of his life after another episode like this. Re: Mandalika - OLI rode perfectly from the start, it took RO/4 too many laps to find his rhythm and that was the difference at the flag. I’m happy ZAR came through at the end, but Ducati have work to do if they want to win either championship despite fielding 8 bikes. Hope they have a plan, Dall’Igna is as likely as any to be on top of that I think. Also, no more front ride-height devices from next year. I’m on the fence on that as I like to see MotoGP push ahead with technology but there isn’t really a road bike application so maybe that’s not a bad thing.

I sincerely hope he’s going to be OK but this is the third round of this for him. It’s pretty easy for me to see MM call it a career. With the tire issues the Honda seems to have and the result being moonshot high sides, jeez man, how many of those can anyone take? Vicki
