Maybe but there have been quite a few great races this year.

Also, sounds like Pedrosa may retire after this season. He'll announce "it" at the Sachsenring.

If there was a "worst" track for Marquez, Brno is it.

Mugello is by far Marquez's worst track since it does't have many hard-breaking corners.

Kaito Toba with a nasty crash in the Moto3 race.

Cracking race among the top 3, Lorenzo looks like he'll either pass Dovi or wreck him.

that was good. thought marquez was gonna drive away with it, but it ended up being a nice battle between him and the ducatis. lorenzo seems to have really improved his race strategy

I have a general question but I think this is the place to ask: how do you determine threshold braking on a motorcycle? (without ABS of course).

On a car you can just slam those brakes until you lock slightly the wheels and then you know the correct pressure. Or you feel the pedal starting to vibrate. If you do this on a bike you'd fall in every corner until you figure out when the front tyre locks. Do you feel early onset of locking in the brake lever? Do you manage to get away with slightly locking it and releasing without the bike immediately sliding underneath you? I never rode a bike so I'm curious. On a shitty moped or on a mountain bike you can slide a little and recover, I don't think this is an option when grabbing the brakes at 340kph!

Esteve Rabat has fractured his femur, tibia and fibula in a FP4 crash at Stowe. That's probably season over for him.

It's been a while coming though, Silverstone is a notorious hazard for MotoGP tbh.

But he was hit by another rider motorcycle, not his or track fault at all...

Rabat was stood in the gravel after falling, then got whacked and thrown 15 feet by Morbidelli's fallen bike

Four bikes went off at the same place at the same time though.

The only thing I'm thinking of is the concrete runoff so the bike just slide and hit him instad of loosing speed in the gravel. But then, bike could roll and hit him. Anyway.... tommorow MotoGP race is rescheduled to 11:30 local time
