    Poor Georgie....broke his wrist now all the technical problems. At least he wasn't the only Honda not to finish, I don't think ANY Honda finished :eek:

    Did they show the Vinales jump start video. I saw Mir's and that was another soft one a'la Crutchlow

    Nakagami finished 10th. I think I tipped him to be Rookie of the Year last year. Another bad call:rolleyes::rolleyes:.

    This fall of Marquez reminds me of his bad 2015

    Where did all go? What are the predictions? Marquez will finish the race this time?

    Was really good to see Quartararo and Morbidelli take 1st and 2nd in qualifying. Lin Jarvis celebrating with the Petronas team was interesting seeing as how the factory riders did nothing.

    Marquez on Dovi during qualifying, too much or one of those things?

    Too much for qualifying from my perspective, but fine for racing.

    Agreed...... No need for that!

    Cannot wait for this race, highlight of the Motogp calender for me, I love it. The track, the painted curbs, the scenery, the yellow smoke...... Its like no other. I just love Italy :)

    Got sick of hearing about the Petruci/Miller contract saga. Four times during the race and three times after the race they went on about it and Huwen and Hodgson missed half the action as it happened during the race. Terrific race but Huwen and Hodgsons commentry is crap. I'm surprised Hodgson didn't congratulate Sam Lowes for finishing a race

    Fair call, Ian. Totally agree.

    I'll add one to the list:
    The over-enthusiasm on reporting John McPhee's every move in Moto 2 is really too much. Sure, be patriotic, but also be professional and commentate without bias.

    Translation:

    Alberto Puig, the Repsol Honda team manager, criticizes those who say that the Honda RC213V is tailor-made for Marc Marc Márquez and leaves a warning to other riders, namely Jorge Lorenzo and Cal Crutchlow.

    "When you have a driver who wins almost every weekend with your bike, there is nothing to say. End of conversation. That's why the other riders on this bike can complain whatever they want. But there is one that always stays on the podium ... so if you are a pilot and you know you can not fly the bike, do not come here. If they come and have this bike ... shut up and drive, 'Puig told PecinoGP.com.

    The manager responded to criticism that the bike is difficult to drive made by Lorenzo and Crutchlow, remembering that Márquez has no problems and has the same machine. Puig also reminded Lorenzo that it is time to show results:

    "He asked Honda a lot of things, and Honda gave them to him. I think Jorge arrived at a time when he realized that the time had come to not try too hard. He has tested many things, I am sure he will be able to put it all together and try to make this his bike.
