The podium was a yawner but that MM93 vs Crazy Joe battle for 4th was wild.
Yep, good battle...

I thought it was a good race, kind of surprising to see yamaha dominating so far and ducati back in the hunt for a championship. The battle for 4th was insanely good but to me it is just odd to see M.M.93 not fighting for 1st, and I would hope Pedrosa can get himself back together soon.

MM93 and Iannone were sooo close so many times while swapping back and forth. Fun to watch but those guys made me jump a few times when I thought they were going to take each other out and Smith was waiting on just that. Great race back there and it made the race worth watching as it was a yawner for 1-2-3 running all alone..

Yesterday was a cracker of a race especially on m3.

#93 is going to kill himself if honda doesn't get on par with horsepower. Crashed out again.

The doctor moved up from 11th to 3rd.

The m3 class was nuts,10 bikes into the 1st turn on the last lap in abunch.

Yep, I haven't seen racing like that since the heydays of the 125s. Six abreast into the 1st turn was something to see.

On the Honda MotoGP thing, it's not the horse power, it's the front end under braking thats causing all the problems.

I'm hearing the new Honda's power is making it tough for Maquez to do his thing. He's trying too hard. Val on the other hand has figured out how to do it now that he's not 25 any more. Great race.

I cannot believe Marquez wrecked out again ,I hope they get the Honda figured out but at the same time the races have been fantastic, it's hard to believe yamaha wasn't going to renew Lorenzo's contract, 3 in a row,if he wins 4 it will be his career best, this is one of the better motogp seasons I have seen where as not 1 person has not dominated.

You got that right! Still 12 races to go in the season!

3 races before they come to Indy. Hopefully everyone stays healthy and it turns out to be a good show here.

I'm pumped, this will be the third year I've gone to Indy for the race, and I hope it's a good one!!

I WAS planning on going to Indy again for the 3rd year in a row but the buddy I usually go with got hurt badly on our Arkansas ride a couple of weeks ago so I am not sure at this point (incident with a deer). Playing it by ear.

Indy ain't a bad idea... never saw a GP...

I had no idea arm pump was a issue riders in road racing... actually I guess I can see it... I'd be riding with a "death grip"

For the right price I would teach them my patented stretch move that prevents arm pump:

Pit Row

Sound like he got a little peptalk after COTA. Be sure to read to the end.

Dude needs to qualify better and get better starts if he expects to take the title, though.
That was insane. These guys are doing some seriously mind blowing stuff

93s frontend is giving up because of pushing so hard on entry trying to stay with the tuning forks down the next straight.

They pull several bike lengths on him ever straightaway.

And the way the bikes are developed in the windtunnel to put the air back together as close to the riders back as possiblethe draftonly works when really close to the bike in front of you.

93 crashed again. Narrowly missed #99.

He missed the brake point by a mile or the brake failed.

His frustration is really starting to show. Val needs to qualify better to have a shot at Jorge.

I thought Rossi had enough laps remaining to catch him but Lorenzo kept the gap at 1.3 seconds for a bunch of the last laps. Good racing.
