Cmon Dani . Win one more and you are Honda's winningest MotoGP rider ever! You can do it (broken wrist and all) ! PS watch out for Zarco early in the race...
Good for Cal. Seems like the Hondas are in good shape tomorrow but anything can happen.
I’ve been for a good long ride today and I’m not sure I can stay awake to watch it. Have to record it, I guess. Should be a good race. How long before Zarco wins one, I wonder?
He'd better do it before he becomes a KTM rider lol
Was it Pedrosa's fault in the crash ?
No. If anyone, probably Lorenzo since he cut into the inside rather suddenly. But, honestly, from his vantage point, he couldn't see that Dani already had the inside. From the field of view Dani had, the inside was also the safest line since it appeared that Dovi and Lorenzo were going to mix it up outside.
Just three guys pushing really hard, really close together, and they crashed. Racing stuff.
Now Zarco is runner up! That's interesting. Maybe now Yamaha will give his team some help instead of walking into his garage and taking everything to figure out how he succeeds.
After watching the replay I think it was just bad luck. Things happen in racing and I'm just glad they all walked away; Dani especially, still healing from surgery, he took a very hard hit on the track.
always glad you guys bring this up as i never keep up with motogp / no cable = [ political reasons ]
glad Honda won and will stream the race now

No, he was an innocent victim, once again. Dovi and Lorenzo went wide leaving an opening underneath. Pedrosa saw the opening and shot into it. Lorenzo cut back down to the inside taking out Pedrosa which pushed Lorenzo wide again, taking out Dovi. If I were to put blame on anyone's shoulders it would be Lorenzo, but it's a really tough call, most likely a racing incident and just bad luck for everyone.
Pedrosa would most likely be about 15 points back be in 3rd or 4th in the standings now if not for being a human billiard ball this year. Too bad, probably his last season on the Repsol Honda if you are to believe the rumors.
