What a race. Those last 4 laps were epic. Dovi outlasted Marquez's last lap banzi takeout move. Looks like Ducati is finally a player. Yamaha kinda sucked. Kallio & KTM top 10, great job & Zarco's back. All comes down to tire choice. Last week was a perfect example. Marc & Honda schooled everybody. Great racing.

Great race I couldn't believe the last few corners Marquez was doing dive bomb moves! Woohoo

Last lap move was an excellent one by Marquez, definitely not a take out one though. Dovi was over reacting a little. Pedrosa was funny saying basically... hey this is all I had. I think the new fairings on the ducks look silly and it seems they're trying to get around the rules put in place sfter last seasons "winglet madness" but whatever. Fun to watch on a Sunday morning.

Glad for Dovi, Marquez is an extremely talented bitch.

I'm not so sure about that move. If Dovi hadn't seen it coming & checked up I don't think both of them would have made it through. As it was Marquez barely made it himself. Typical overambitious Marquez block pass. Not a big fan of the new Duc fairings either but Lorenzo likes them. First time he was able to make his tire last.

Maybe it's just me but has anyone noticed the last few years maybe (four or five) road racing has turned into a high-speed Motocross chess match in the corners--a lot of block passing and stuffing. Woohoo

I'm not complaining I kind of like it I just don't remember that kind of stuff going on before.
It was more sweeping corners on the outside.

Vale has always been good at it, (ask Sete Gibernau), Marquez has taken it to another level. I think the GP bikes have, with the aid of electronics & tire technology, have become more point & shoot machines rather than the cornerspeed type that made Lorenzo famous. You wanna see stuffing & block passing watch moto2 & 3. Great stuff, literally.

Very good points and I agree with you 100%.

Yeah Rossi schooled old Sete pretty hard, but you also have to remember Rossi is very good at Motocross. There's a definite connection there. Cheerful

Oh yeah I DVR it all the qualifying on Saturday and all 3 classes.
Those moto2 and moto3 races are insane No Doubt.

On Tuesdays do you watch Pitlane with that Terry girl you know the skinny blonde Hottie, it's a great show!

Yes I watch Pit lane too but that little blond is very distracting. Whistling

Cant get BEIN sports.
Void once posted a source to watch Moto GP
Races were usually up within 24hrs but I think that site was shut down.

Yeah, that site "disappeared". But, I usually do a google search the night after a race and find a torrent of the race. For example a search "motogp brno 2017 torrent" usually finds a good hit in the first page of results.
