Re: MotoGP Italian GP
I didnt think Marquez looked that fast - amazing lap.
That place is definitely on my list - don't go without me

Re: MotoGP Italian GP
Still don't like to see riders waiting for a tow. Especially those who shouldn't need too.

Re: MotoGP Italian GP
I think mm93 played with Dovi today. He new Dovi was struggling, so made a very hard move early on to play with his head and then played cat and mouse to leave it to a single flying lap in last minutes of Q2 where mm93 was in the driving seat with a tow from the rapid Desmo.

Re: MotoGP Italian GP
Me and the missus went as guests of Ducati and met Loris Caprossi in the garage just after FP4. I remember asking him could he beat Rossi in Qualifying and he winked at me and said he had something left in his locker. Special race and a very special moment I will remember all my life.duke63 wrote:No idea.
Got to go to that MotoGP one day. It looks stunning.

Re: MotoGP Italian GP
Anywhere to watch Quali? Not available on BT Sport 
Avoided the results so far (though I assume Marc got pole)

Re: MotoGP Italian GP
What a difference a year makes
2018 Q2
Rossi 1st
Lorenzo 2nd
2019 Q2
Lorenzo 17th
Rossi 18th
Whats happened to Rossi? Same bike, same team and the Petronas riders are showing the m1 can still put a good lap time in on a track that doesn't really suit the Yamaha.

Re: MotoGP Italian GP
Wowwwwwwwww what a race
That could have been a moto3 race
Very pleased for #9 Petrucci, so well deserved and should cement his 2020 seat on a factory Ducati. Perfect team mate for Dovi.

Re: MotoGP Italian GP
That was certainly not boring. A joy to watch.
I'm so happy for Danilo. You can see how much it means to him.

Gutted for Jack today. No One is braver than Mr Miller and that breaking into T1 on L2 was scary to watch, what must have it been like on-board.

Re: MotoGP Italian GP
Just watched the last lap again on chequered flag.
Pleased Petrucci won but if he hadn't stood Dovi up in T1, could Dovi have won and stole valuable championship points of mm93 which maybe needed at the end of the season?

Re: MotoGP Italian GP
Racing to win. It's way to early in the season for team orders. It's what the paying public want to see.
Could be that breaking his race wins duck, makes Petrux a force to be reckoned with from now on and Dovi needs some other riders to take the fight to MM. Miller was taking no prisoners with him either.

Re: MotoGP Italian GP
No I don't like Team orders but after the Dovi, Iannone crash incident I wondered if it was possibly crossing a line.
With hindsight just watched the helicopter view and there was a clear gap so Petrucci went for it which was fair play.

Re: MotoGP Italian GP
From this angle it looked very close, probably closer than it actually was to be far.
