More or equivalent power, and drastically less downforce created by the wings on top of the car. However they get there, I don't really care. That needs to be achieved, and it shouldn't be difficult.

True, Zazu, but the track was far better. Not sure how it is possible, but the recent resurfacing has made the drainage infintiely worse, the bumps were worse, and the conditions deplorable.

I was incorrect, Vinales is contracted through 2020. No wonder he's so downtrodden, this year is blown, and he wants significant improvement for next year, obviously. Hope Yamaha gets him and Rossi engine improvements.

It's a damn shame this happened. It really annoys me of the state of F1, with three teams competing, and then there is everyone else. McLaren in particular.

Great racing! What a fabulous finish and fight amongst Dovi, JL, and MM. I have a lot more thoughts to expound upon later, but I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed that one yesterday, as a racing fan first, and Ducati fan second.

Great ride from Lorenzo! He finally understands that you don't win by running away from the field on the Ducati. You have to allow the tires to slowly come into their window and not push until about half way through the race. Honestly, I think Ducati have had the best bike three years running now. ...

I've no issue with the layout, but the blue lines + looking like it's in a gigantic parking lot is terrible.

Yes, Fiki. Essentially a spacer placed on the edge of the tank that supported his position on the bike with less stress to his arms and his core muscles, which was making him tired very fast on the previous iteration. As an aside, just looking at Lorenzo compared to his Yamaha days, he looks like he...

I actually loved watching the 2-stroke 125's. They seemed much more dynamic than 250 four-strokes now.

Current MotoGP bikes are probably already too fast, any increase in displacement and they'd have over 300bhp and probably go 240mph if you had enough of a straight. They continually are able to squeeze more power out of the engines each year, it's alarming. If they didn't have the electronics they d...

Think everyones getting a bit carried away with Jorge/Honda being unbelievable. Pedrosa was on the podium in 1/2 of the races last year and managed 2 wins.

Nope, not forgetting it at all. I just wonder how blatant will they be about it, and if they will punish Lorenzo if he refuses to make way. If he truly has found the fix to his issues with the newly configured fuel tank, he might be challenging regularly, which will put him and Dovi together often o...

Yep, Shoot, that’s the likely team.

Sandman---Yes sir, Vinales and Rossi both extended to 2020 earlier this year.

Suzuki has Rins signed for this year and t...

Very unfortunate, which is why I viewed this as bittersweet. From the way I’m reading the press reports and comments, they are going to promote Petrucci.
