Noooooooooooooo!!!!!

 

For fark steaks. Thats not lekker at all.

Bad news indeed .

Hope he heals up well .

I also hope this is not the beginning of the end ????

[Long Wheel Base]

NOOOOOOO. Come on VR46, heal up quick.

[Steven Knoetze (sk27)]

Its a fact, the older you get, the less you bounce. 2nd significant injury for him this year too.

[Wannabe]

And them old bones takes longer to heal.

I hate say it, but it's the beginning of the end.

Joh!!!!

The only predictable thing year seems to be Crashlow, well, crashing...

[Steven Knoetze (sk27)]

What a race yesterday.

Lorenzo off down the road like a scolded cat before really going off down the road.

Blames it on getting distracted switching electronic maps, his excuses need a bit of work methinks.......

 

Marquez was masterful. Interesting to see the Spanish media saying if it wasn't for the booing Rossi fans with his crash on Sunday morning, he would've been happy to settle for 2nd but felt like he needed to prove a point.

Petrucci is really riding well. Suppose Ducati didn't need to buy Lorenzo when they had a potential race winner right there already

This championship is now only MM93's to loose.

He is riding masterfully, really impressive.

[Popit]

MM93 proving that he is a big threat in all conditions .

Petrucci was good , actually he deserved the win after leading for so long .

Dovi did the smart thing .... Points , points and more points .

Thats great and all but could they not put him on Zarco's Tech3 bike and have Zarco run the factory bike.

See one golden lining to this whole sorry situation is that Yamaha have now shifted all 2018 chassis across to Vinales as he is the only Yammie in the title chase now. Before Rossi and Vinales only had one 2018 chassis each which made things tough.

[Wannabe]

Agree with sk27, rather put Zarco on the factory bike, he already has shown himself competent on the Tech 3 M1.

There is a huge difference between the R1 VD Mark is campaigning and the M1, I think the transition will be too difficult for him to be even remotely competitive on it (don't think he could even outrun LM99 or Sir Crashalot...    )

Well yeah that's exactly the thing. The 2017 chassis isn't great, so rather leave Zarco on what he knows and excels with (2016), give MV both 2018 chassis to allow for more setup time, and pray that MvdM doesn't bin the current 2017 frames.
