Honda looked even worse than last weekend. They better get M. Marquez on that bike fast. Headcase Miller another 9th place. Zarco leads the championship after two 2nd place finishes.

The return of Marc Marquez. Let's see, if he has lost a step, or should i say, if the others have gotten better than before.

Excellent start, not so excellent rest of the race. Definitely missing some rhythm

Pedro Acosta meanwhile with another superb showing, what a phenomenal rookie season

 

First one since Daijiro Kato (RIP) to get a podium in his first three GP's. Although interestingly, Kato's first three races were all wildcard entries in Japan (3rd, 1st, 1st) before later he finally got a permanent ride.

Definitely was over excited at the beginning  Some close calls and shaky turns, which i think led to him taking a step back. 

 

And Rins just throws away the podium..., while Bagnaia makes the best climb so far!

And now Zarco falls, what the heck is going on.

Rins throws away a podium. Zarco throws away a possible podium and his WCh lead. As for the 'lesser gods', Oliveira, Miller and Rossi are out and Pol Espargaro parked his bike with a brake problem.

And Quartararo gets it, not much of a fight anymore in the top. Oh well, on to F1  

[Federer91 3,372]

Quartararo started last year with the wins as well, and we know how that ended. And gets points down for the stupid Ronaldo celebration...

 

Bagnaia with his best race this year, while Mir does, well what Mir does best, ranking the consistent points race after race.

Used the F1 red flag to watch the finish of Moto2. Raul Fernandez who couldn't win a Moto3 race until the closing stages last season has won in only his third start in Moto2. Big high-side crash for Sam Lowes at the start. That's good for the championship battle.
