Blame Rossi. He's taking up one of the rides even though he rarely competes for wins any more. Don't take me wrong, I love watching the guy. But if both he and Zarco had the same bike I'd put my money on Zarco over the course of a season of results.

I would likely take Zarco as well. The thing is with Rossi until last year he was second in the championship for 3 years running. He certainly isn't the Rossi of old, but he is as competitive as a very large chunk of the grid.

No comments about Jerez yet? It looked like bowling with bikes from here...

That’s an amazing save; wonder how quickly he pitted to change his shorts

Kornfeil landed in the gravel and managed to avoid a tankslapper after that, it was most impressive. In moto3 the KTM was clearly the fastest bike, Martin could barely hold the draft on the Honda. The whole weekend was a crashfest, over 100 crashes in total. Too bad for Zarco, but he was so amped up for this race I figured he was going to win or bin... Rossi laid a beating on Vinales this round and the Yamaha looked almost competitive. Looking forward to Mugello, it is my favorite track and usually features a moto3 lead group of 20+ riders.

Ouch, Pirro crashes hard in turn 1.

You have to be registered to watch that video. Here is one from youtube:

It's a massive crash, he apparently ended up with a concussion and dislocated shoulder. It looked like a brake malfunction of some sort, like the brakes locked full on or similar the way the bike nosedived and dug in.

Geez, that's a scary crash!! :disgust: :concern:
Hard to imagine a brake failure mode that would lead to that, but i guess anything's possible. It looks like he just grabbed way to much front brake, but that's hard to envision too, given his level of experience on that bike and at that track.

A good article on the day at Motomatters:

The footage just didn't look real at first glance - it was like he was a rag doll being thrown through the air or some CGI....
Amazing that he survived that with minimal injuries.

Well, I certainly didn't expect that and I find it hard to believe that Lorenzo simply needed a different shape fuel tank to look like the Jorge of old. He's still a douchebag, but maybe he's back to being a fast douchebag.

He's always suffered when his bike isn't 100% perfect. He can't seem to ride around little problems like Marc and Vale are able to do.
But.....give him a perfect bike and he's right up front.

Yep, that was the old Lorenzo, holeshot, build a gap and then manage it to the end. Doesn't make for an exciting race, but it's impressive as hell.
TT Assen, awesome qualifying and even better race.
One of the best this year.
David.
