Last weekends race is one for the books. What's bad is if the weather stays wet, Q1 / Q2 was set in FP1.

Another great race, particularly back in 4,5,6. Marquez rode like a champion and Folger pushed him hard until the final laps. Pedrosa was solid, but slightly off the pace.

Some bikes it seems are good for some circuits.

I was disapointed Dani didn't push harder. He had the race pace yesterday, and seemed to stick like glue to the back of Marquez until Folger passed him, and then just faded.

Great battle for non podium spots though.

I was glad to see Folger keep 93 honest the whole race.

COTA and Sachsenring were apparently built for Marquez. Eight times in a row is unreal.

Great race in all the classes. Marc will now have to work hard to finish well on some tracks where he and the Honda don't necessarily excel - like Brno. No more DNFs.

I had hoped for more from Dani but he's a disciplined racer. He generally stays within his limits and races in a very workmanlike fashion.
