That's marvelous. I had hoped that Suzuki's return would be a success but this is remarkable for their first season back. Careful development and choosing top notch young talent is paying off.

Oh well, Suzuki's no podium, Lorenzo did what he does best, Marquez in another dust ball, Rossi tried sort of, and good to see Dani back on the podium.

Marquez acted like an impulsive and impatient novice rather than a world champion. He is his own worst enemy. The front row proved no advantage for the Suzukis as they were out done at the start. Vinales rode a decent race to finish in the top ten. An interesting if dull race.

I think Marquez is getting desperate. So used to winning. This year should be a life lesson for the young man. Better to ride like Rossi and get points than push so hard you wad it up.

I think MM threw away any hopes for the 2015 championship yesterday. Lorenzo shows no signs of slowing and both factory Yamahas are the best overall bikes in the field.

Eleven more races to go and a lot can happen. Here's hoping Marquez takes Ferret's advise, that Dani steadily improves, that Rossi stays in the hunt, and that Ducati and Suzuki continue to surprise.
