Hi All
Just getting news down here that Dovi is quiting Ducati, anyone know if it's true? As they've got form for miss reporting stuff like this before
Best

Well, just watched the highlights from Brno
Factory bikes, you don’t want a factory bike 
Very interesting and different race that. TBH I expected the factory bikes coming though at the end and dominating but they did not have the set up of the non factory boys for me which is pretty amazing really, refreshingly different
Honda?
I bet they were all planning on picking a few points up while rat boy is out, left the door wide open for him

Possibly, the Honda thing certainly didn’t work out for him. Think I read it somewhere, he had scared himself too many times?
A comeback and results would answer that I guess

wouldn't say he lost his bottle, maybe just wanted a year out to rest and cure his back..said retiring to jump ship his Honda contract maybe..but I agree he would be good on that suzuki..pol espagaro signing for hrc has been my biggest shock..why they chose him I cant fathom out? push cal out with the hump maybe? @ vossy,they might get chucked out yet not walk away

Funny, I was talking to the Mrs about his factory ride...do you think it'll make him better or worse...hmm. I'd love to see Suzi up ther again competing, thought they were on the up, maybe not.
@Clicky, Yamaha...what they hell...mad isn't it. I'm not sure given what has been seen as a factory advantage they should be allowed a dispensation to open them up, but I guess money talks and for Yamaha to walk away it would not be good.

it's not even factory bikes proving the point...all very odd
Looks like they have a decent bike and set up for him. We will see when he has a factory ride next season 
Imagine what he could earn from Suzuki who want to make their mark 
Rat boy still the best at the moment for me with somebody who looks a very close second at the moment

As the commentators said, Dovi might be regretting not putting pen to paper with that result
Great to see the GOAT on the podium again, defended brilliantly for that place.
Lorenzo situation...odd one, going to take a while for him to be back up to pace if he does.
So is it the riders or is it the bikes...MM and Fabio look well above race pace, 5+ seconds is massive, can't believe there are so few riders who can compete, and now it's not even factory bikes proving the point...all very odd.

Yamaha 1,2 and 3. Quatararo, another win, Viniales 2nd and Rossi takes third!
If rat boy hadn't crashed out I reckon he would have pissed it though, looked fast again...

That will be interesting,,great rider, thought he had lost his bottle. Just watching some highlights, said he would be good for Suzuki too?

Quatararo on pole again by the looks of it. Vinales has a lot to prove for me. He was going to be the next big thing, he has to make it happen this season for me. Dovi is in 14th place so he looks well off the pace. You could think the bike but Bagnaia is third on a Ducati
For me a factory Honda is still the benchmark and MM is so good because he is the best of managing his tyres and that’s a massive chunk of what it’s all about for me
