Mate, it is not "supposed to be better", but it has its moments. The PI races were as good as it gets. Aragon disappointing. On the other hand in Argentina, I had that " I want my money back" feeling that I had at PI two years ago. A race marred by being reduced in length and a compulsory bike change. Those race "conditions" are the sort of thing that reminds us that OH and S has arrived at MotoGP. In the good old, bad old, days it would have been, "Get out there and race". Up to the moment that MM and Rossi pitted it was a great race. After that not so. I don't resile from my admiration for MM, I think, and hope, that he can become World Champion again. And again. Crashed on the podium but had a good laugh at himself. As for Rossi, well, Iannone, or "Crazy Joe" as he is sometimes called, helped him to a podium big time. Can't imagine a lot of good cheer in the Ducati shed. I was sorry to see Viñales go down. Cost him a podium, maybe. He is a goodie and will have a big future. His error. I thought Jack Miller might do well but he put himself down as well. Ah well, next time maybe. I know if I lived within striking distance of Austin I'd have my ticket already.
Cheers, and now to bed.
