Even that M5 had trouble staying on track in some corners.

Did it beat the Benz?

Conditions was too bad, could not see the Merc at all.

If that sound doesn’t give you a stiffie, you shouldn’t be on a motorcycling thread!

Sounds like a 3 cylinder. With that sound track, one could develop some respect for Moto2.

Don't think that is the Moto2 version proper, more a tracked 765R

It is the actual motor, but they are running the Triumph Race ECU, and not the Magneti Marelli ECU that the factory teams have been testing with in Spain. Plus it's a 675 chassis, with no Ohlins or Brembo. The final bikes should be on rails!

Bliksem, how crazy is Fenati in the Moto 2 race? What a box!!!

And apparently just a 2 race ban WTH!

Yeah also heard only 2 race ban.

[Steven Knoetze (sk27)]

Should have got a lifetime ban, not his first incident either. Guy does not belong on the track at all!!!

 

Was an okay race. Ducati has run so many laps around that track there is probably a Ducati shaped groove already so they were always going to win.

Lorenzo folding under Marc's pressure was a surprise though...........

[Popit]

Should be a 2 lifetime ban ....

[bertusras]

Yeah, agreed SK. Ducati were always going to romp this race, but Lorenzo binning it two laps from the end came as a total surprise. However, I saw the crash coming. The moment the bike stepped out of line I knew he was going to bin it. I actually felt quite sorry for him in that moment. Rossi must also be thanking his lucky stars as he would have dropped to 4th in the championship had Lorenzo not put it in the gravel. You really have to wonder what is going on with Yamaha, and whether they have just given up on 2018 completely. 16 and 19 seconds behind the winner is just shocking. 

 

As for Romano, I think there is not much else to be said. He should have gotten a lifetime ban for that, as it is not the first time he has pulled **** like this. And in the wake of not getting this ban, I feel that his team should take the stance and moral high ground, and fire him. And the other teams should have a gentleman's agreement to not hire him again. No-one needs behaviour like that associated with them. It's pathetic.

 

Great, looks like he's losing his MV Agusta ride for next year
