 No I watched the japanese races (GP/Sprint) on time this time, well maybe slightly on catch up, but right day anyway which is a improvement
Felt for Paco in both races but he's some talent. That accident in the main race  how wierd seeing the bikes tangle together!
EDIT, I seem to be doing a lost of posting on the hop at the mo, facts may well not be err...facts..take with a pinch of salt

Running a 2023 bike, lacks straight line power, putting my money on him being world champ again next season 
You just missed the Japanese round

Only just watched Indonesian GP, great ride from Martin and Paco, shale Bastianini threw it but you can't blame him for trying. MM title hopes up in flames maybe....
I'll get me coat

I did wonder if Bastianini was going to take Martin out deliberately, glad he didn't !

Good result that for JM. Deserves the title for me, was so close last year. Dodgey move that by Bastianini, could have took him out.
Baggnia, just not convinced, OK if he is out in front, as soon as it becomes competitive he either crashes out or bottles it

Fab u lous , that was a proper race in the end 🤩 Ducati have lost a great rider, Martin had nothing to complain about, shame Paco didn't finish:-(

I saw him wobble a couple of times, stick his foot out iirc, but it was in the end a bad decision.
The commentators were saying the odd bit of rain had been forecast but nothing to cause a rider to change tyres/bikes. Very odd and a few paid the price, maybe they took a wetter line on the track, who knows, it certainly cost them!

That was just a crazy decision that costs him, wtf was that about

Yes, hate to say it but I agree! Martin, some times it pays, some times it doesn't, the main thing is he didn't feel safe and acted, could just have easily carried on and taken somebody else out.

MM masterclass today, from 9th on the grind on a 2023 bike. Untouchable

Only just watched last week's race, that crash how lucky were they both.
That bike on top of PB, surprised when they said it only weighs 23 stone, for some reason I was expecting it to be a lot heavier, even so!
I didn't really enjoy those races, in fact I turned the sprint off half way though.
PB starting grid woes, it can't carry on. Very dangerous spinning up, sliding into the path of upcoming bikes that are doing at least 40mph more than you. I'd be having words as a race director, if they don't sort it they should be made to start on the last row where they don't endanger others.
Finally, dirty tracks...wth already saying the next track will be worse. Only 2 Q's, why hasn't it been sorted and if not why hasn't it been removed from the calendar?

MM, one word, incredible
Anybody who has not seen the AM and FB crash, have a look 
Thankfully both OK

Completely different level that lad. Best rider in the world right now for me. Can’t see him been in WSB much longer, enjoy it while you can, incredible rider that can do unbelievable things on a motorcycle
