Iannone making quite the understatement.

I'm a bit envious of his lifestyle, also.

Marquez is a marvel to watch. There truly aren't enough superlatives. Especially when you look at where the other Hondas are in relation. In other news, KTM relieves Zarco permanently, Mika Kallio steps in for the rest of the season. https://www.crash.net/motogp/news/929333/1/ktm-replaces-zarco-kall...

Great race for Quartararo, I was really rooting for him. If I was Ducati, I'd be wanting to make him a huge offer for 2021. And if I were Yamaha, I'd be giving him the same equipment as Morbidelli, who he is now dominating. Does Quartararo switch manufacturers when he is deal is up in 2021? It'll be...

Because it was Ferrari in Monza there is no doubt in my eyes it had SOME factor in the stewards' decision. I don't think that is right, it should be binary and 100% objective, but we know the reality of the situation.

Pretty cool.

A lot of the faster corners that have the huge asphalt run-off can still exist, but putting a bit of grass on the edge of the circuit, say 5 meters worth, would be a good solution in many areas. As many have suggested. I still think there is way too much run-off at corners that just don't need them....

No way should Sainz have been punished for what was a very bad decision by Albon to attempt to pass around the outside of that corner---he was behind, and Sainz was on the racing line. At that speed, the trajectory of Sainz was always going to carry him to the rumble strip, which in turn made it ap...

This probably isn't fit for this thread, but it is shocking that Abu Dhabi was a clear sheet design, and the folks that put it together were given an unlimited amount of money....to build that steaming pile of excrement. I mean, visually, it is very cool, but the track layout and the racing there......

Disagree with you entirely on the best rider for Yamaha, Pokerman. From a points perspective, Vinales is now besting Rossi 118 to 116, and has 1 win and 4 podiums to Rossi's no wins and 2 podiums. It's not a substantial difference, you are right, but Vinales has more pace than Rossi, and when he get...

Yes, it's difficult to with Rossi. He undoubtedly has such flair and charisma, still, that from a business perspective, there is every reason to involve him with Yamaha. From a performance side, unquestionably he is on the downside. I think his window of being at the front is so small vis a vis the ...

Sensational finish, a millimeter-perfect pass by Rins on the last corner of the last lap----just unreal.

Miller inks a one-year extension with Ducati and Pramac, giving him a factory ride along with Bagnaia. The entire field is signed for next year with the exception of the now vacant KTM ride that Zarco is abandoning.

Rins binning it was difficult to watch, but as has been stated here, when the spotlight is on him, he tends to make mistakes.

What a race!!! I’m not a huge Petrucci fan but I was thrilled for him to get a win, in Italy, on this bike. If he does nothing else the rest of his career he will always have this day, and what a day it was.

Probably settles the issue with Miller, too.

Honda's improvement in engine power has been impressive, and since that was really the only thing they lacked vs. Ducati, it's now really, REALLY a foregone conclusion that Marquez flies off into the distance each race.

From what I’ve read there will be reprofiling of some corners. The width, though...it’s like Imola. (Thank God that was removed).
