Good read. Colin will be missed.
What he said about Elias is true. I have read many times that his setups are virtually unrideable to most people and Michelin made him some pretty bonkers tires to make it all work. Since they switched to spec tires he hasn't done as well. Watch his bike from this past WSBK round and it is all kinds of loose compared to everyone else.
What a wacky weekend of racing! The disaster that was Qualifying for the MotoGP riders and then race day the weather acting up again.
All classes had their drama.
MM can do no wrong regardless what gets thrown at him.
Good battles from AD and AEsp.
VR mucked up on tyre choice in the beginning he may of finished higher up making the opposite choice. That being said a great job compared to where he started on the grid.
Championship is interesting for second place now. I don't know what can be done to even catch the top spot.

Unbelievable. This guy actually had the guts to admit this. No excuses about his bike.

That Busa video is interesting...
I actually gained a lot of respect for the guy for fully admitting it, I raced once in the rain with full rain tires and it is scary to say the least, I can just imagine how scary it is to do the speeds these guys do on slicks on a track that is still wet. Good for him!

Just a little strange coming from a 2-time world champion, especially from Lorenzo. Either he's becoming less and less of his old self, or his confidence has been utterly shattered.

As do I. Again, it's just surprising coming from Lorenzo. You'd think he'd blame his bike, or some other factor other than himself.
It was good seeing Rossi work his way up from last to 5th spot. His lap times were close to the top riders all throughout the race. If he didn't screw up on the tire choice in the beginning, who knows how close this race would of been. As others have noted. The challenge now is to see who will finish second overall.
