Lorenzo was launched out of a cannon and never looked back.  applause 6 riders on the ground before lap 3. MM tried to ride it out.

I think Marquez should have received penalty points for pushing Petrucci of the track.  Petrucci used up his tires catching the front runners.

I remember that wrestler. Grin

I reckon Ducati team thought that Dovi's a hard braker, so why does Lorenzo need a different tank? Maybe lack of upper body strength or due to sitting back further with a larger gap to the tank? Was it an excuse or a real issue? If it was a major factor, we should see some more wins or podiums.

Good point.

George is too 'particular'. If everything isn't perfect. he sucks. If all his Ducs are lined up, he's unbeatable. Ducati's are not perfect...never have been.

I also don't think he gives many suggestions to the engineers as to what he needs. I obviously don't know, but if he needed a different tank shape to win races and told Gigi that's what he needed, do you really think it would have taken 18 months?

Ducati paid 25 million Euros to get him for 2 years. The tank mod cost $50.

I'm not buying the excuses. It was a good manicure.

I think Magilla or Jack will be more mentally robust and adaptable which the team will like. Surely the team will just generally get on better with either of those guys.

Just for the record, nothing would make me happier than for You'reghey to go back to Yamaha, and whine about how Rossi and Vinales ruined the bike and that's why he can't perform.

Agree. The officials are letting him get away with all kinds of nonsense.
