Still don't like to see riders waiting for a tow. Especially those who shouldn't need too.

I think mm93 played with Dovi today. He new Dovi was struggling, so made a very hard move early on to play with his head and then played cat and mouse to leave it to a single flying lap in last minutes of Q2 where mm93 was in the driving seat with a tow from the rapid Desmo.

Me and the missus went as guests of Ducati and met Loris Caprossi in the garage just after FP4. I remember asking him could he beat Rossi in Qualifying and he winked at me and said he had something left in his locker. Special race and a very special moment I will remember all my life.

Anywhere to watch Quali? Not available on BT Sport :@

Avoided the results so far (though I assume Marc got pole)

What a difference a year makes (wasntme)

2018 Q2

Rossi 1st
Lorenzo 2nd

2019 Q2

Lorenzo 17th
Rossi 18th

Whats happened to Rossi? Same bike, same team and the Petronas riders are showing the m1 can still put a good lap time in on a track that doesn't really suit the Yamaha.

Wowwwwwwwww what a race (allhail)

That could have been a moto3 race (clap)

Very pleased for #9 Petrucci, so well deserved and should cement his 2020 seat on a factory Ducati. Perfect team mate for Dovi.

That was certainly not boring. A joy to watch.

I'm so happy for Danilo. You can see how much it means to him.

Gutted for Jack today. No One is braver than Mr Miller and that breaking into T1 on L2 was scary to watch, what must have it been like on-board.

Just watched the last lap again on chequered flag.

Pleased Petrucci won but if he hadn't stood Dovi up in T1, could Dovi have won and stole valuable championship points of mm93 which maybe needed at the end of the season?

Racing to win. It's way to early in the season for team orders. It's what the paying public want to see.

Could be that breaking his race wins duck, makes Petrux a force to be reckoned with from now on and Dovi needs some other riders to take the fight to MM. Miller was taking no prisoners with him either.

No I don't like Team orders but after the Dovi, Iannone crash incident I wondered if it was possibly crossing a line.

With hindsight just watched the helicopter view and there was a clear gap so Petrucci went for it which was fair play.

From this angle it looked very close, probably closer than it actually was to be far.
