MM's tyre rim was a right mess, that kerb must be pretty savage...I'm thinking leathers wouldn't stand a chance if it does that to a rim 
Mr Acosta doing the doo too...old hand or still rookie

Toprak is a great rider, first season though. Jap bikes have gone mate, MGP and as a whole, lacking behind European bikes with technology and all round performance 
Great win for Aprilia that, good result for RF too!
MM blow out!

Those Aprillia are going to take some stopping 
Great tussle between MM, PA and F until MM ruined it 
Toprak doing o.k but that Yamaha's going to need something to give him a fighting chance.

Great result for KTM that, Aprillia may be up there too

We watched the latest MGP vid tonight from Thailand, they reckon the Aprillia is equal to the 26 Ducati, it broke the lap record, down to the riders then...love it

Will be interesting to see who will be Yamahas leading rider. FQ is in the top 3 riders on the grid for me, Toprak could be up there too. Problem is, that Yamaha might still be off the pace. Costing FQ a proper shot at the title but he has stuck with them so far!
MM is back, hope he wins the title, nobody on that grid has the skill set he has 
I know Rossi had seen Topraks data and said it was unbelievable! 
The Ducati package is the one to beat

Some interesting stuff on net today about Toprak, great lap time at Sepang in cold conditions with cold tyres, and Yamaha restricted him to only 2 sets. Story is he tried to cadge some more from the Honda garage 🤣

Great bike that inspired one of the best road motorcycles ever made, the R1
V4 power is untouchable, and Honda have run that for many years, prior to Ducati which is not replicated in their fireblade road offering!
The whole motorcycle world is ****ed up for me. Give me a litre bike anyday, than a middle weight twin which all manufacturers seem to be pushing, good fun but not the same experience by a long way!
Most GP inspired litre bikes are now pushing 20k for a base model, and are been phased out sadly
As for Moto GP, MM is a racing god, like him or loathe him, completely different level, closely followed by his brother!
Roll on next season, it could be interesting because that Aprillia looks good, Yamaha and Honda may be stronger too

Good ride from Alex M in the sprint.
Fab to see Bulega on MMs Ducati, sad he had a off, espesh doing something he said he'd found out in practice that's different on GP bikes, ie, instant front brake grab, guess it was just habit.

Yep, very nasty, and on the sighting lap too One relatively o.k, the other will require multiple surgeries.
The GP was good for the 1st 4 laps, great ride from Alex in the end...and Mir stayed on his bike..a bigger achievement than the podium
EDIT, Reuda with fractured hand & bruising but Dettwiler suffered “multiple cardiac arrests”, fractured his leg, damaged his spleen and lungs, and “lost a lot of blood”.
