lorenzo to ducati for 12m per season

 

I sort of like Ducati, but Lorenzo is so damn boring...

I'm afraid Viñales will go to Yamaha in his place, but I really, really hope he stays at Suzuki and keeps improving himself and the team..

Wow, what an absolutely epic Moto3-race by Brad Binder

Amazing 2nd place for Bulega, for the 1st time on the podium (he has 16 years)

I didn't check results yet, but I suppose Herlings won everything in MX2 again while drinking some coffee, baking a cake and reading the entire Lord of the Rings trilogy during the race?

And there was the extremely weird fall of Marquez and Dovizioso, which was just funny to see  

 

Unfortunately after that it was such an incredibly boring race...well for the 1st place it was boring after 5 seconds  

 

Moto3 was ok, Moto2 was "meh"..

Incredible day of racing at Mugello 

 

Moto3 - Bizarre race where lap after lap 15+ riders had a chance to be in the top-3 one lap later...even for Moto3 standards this was an amazing race.

 

Moto2 - Hilarious chaos after a red flag situation, where the 'quick-start procedure' for the restart eventually took 45 minutes. Organizers made a huge mess there. After that it was a huge battle between Zarco and Baldassarri, amazing fight!

 

MotoGP - A shame Rossi's bike stopped but the fight between Marquez and Lorenzo was absolutely thrilling, what a finish  A bit a shame that so many "fans" are not really fans after all and couldn't keep themselves from booing for Lorenzo and Marquez....assholes, but that's what happens when we're racing in Italy. Same thing for the "fans" leaving after Rossi was out of the race, clearly they're not MotoGP-fans after all.
