He makes a point though. Marquez was able to stay with him on a power track.

It was a great fight for the lead with a last corner pass that was a gnat's arsehair from disaster. Try enjoying the show occasionally rather than looking for ways to denigrate it. The fact Ducati didn't have a power advantage over Honda this time makes Dovi's ride MORE impressive, not less.

You are the motorsport fan equivalent of this meme.

Yeah, right but the repeated bashing about F1 is cool? I don't remember when was the last time I missed a MotoGP race (sometime during Rossi's boring win streak in the previous decade) and Marquez & Dovizioso driving away to settle it on the last lap was predictable and hardly exciting. It was much better when Rins, Miller, Vinales or Petrucci could have issued a challenge but in this race it was non-existent. Brno & Red Bull Ring were the two most boring MotoGP races this season and your memes ain't gonna change that. Marquez has been beaten by a flock of Ducatis here for three years running (he was a non-factor in 2016 finishing over 10 secs. back) so it was to be expected. Dovizioso's best title challenge came in 2017 and he's taken a step back the last two years. Ducatis should have rounded out the podium on this track and the fact Petrucci finished behind a KTM is downright pathetic.

That was a bold move from Dovi.

Honda and Marquez are just ridiculous.

I know he's injured, but Lorenzo is 4 secs off in practice on the best bike

Glad to see Rins get that after Marc's dick move coming to the last lap forcing Alex off the track.

I have a feeling that Rins and Marquez will be teammates next year.

I really hope not. Suzuki need to keep Rins. Plus Márquez and Rins can’t stand each other so I doubt the former will allow Honda to sign him.

I don't think Lorenzo will still be with Honda next season, and in that case they will want new young talent.
His rookie season was good, his next season was very good, this season is his absolute breakthrough. Every big team will want him next year.

That was bold stuff running it around the outside of Marquez coming to the last lap.

That was RIDICULOUS turning back under Marquez to take the win. Suzuki better dig deep into the wallet to keep that kid.

I was very sceptical about that bolded one ever actually happening and I am still. The MotoGP test a week ago was a success except for drives complaining about the configuration and track being too technical and slow, but according to the track boss Dorna has said no changes will be made.
