Like Kevin said, I was willing Pecco not to fall off while leading(not that I'm claiming any credit for his flawless performance😁😁)! Man, once he gets in his groove his concentration is amazing. As for the crashes, the racing is so close and so fast it looks just plain scary. Especially scary is the Honda. When you watch riders like Rins and Mir, let alone MM, struggling to get good laps in without being over the ragged edge all the time I wonder how long those riders will continue to endanger life and limb on a bike that is obviously not competitive. I think riding the current Hondas is a career ending move, either mentally and/ or physically! As for the Yamaha, like Simon Crafar said, increased power comes with a price, in this case, decreased turning ability which has always been the Yammies strong point that has allowed Fabio to ride it like he has the previous few seasons. It's so strange seeing the Japanese factories so far out of the race for the championship. Colin
