How moto gp has changed with the highest placed Japanese machine only seventh. Another DNF for MM I think his glory days in the sport are over as I can't see honda developing the bike enough to be competitive with him on it and as you say I don't think he has the knowledge to help in development.

Been away, got back today and watched all 3. Nobody has got a chance of competing with that v4 with a flyweight on it at the moment, saying that, he is getting the best out of the package
Rea and Toprak to fight it out for second, needs some luck though. Insane on the brakes TR again 
Got my tickets for the Donnington round

A Bautista T Razgatlioglu race one,two and sp, JR third in race one , fear it may all be over for the season unless something dramatic happens.

Great ride from Binder, looking strong KTM, Hopefully mixes things up a bit!
Feel for FQ, that Yamaha is not at the races as the saying goes

Good race with KTM 2nd and 3rd but close to a win.

I think they have done a lot of work with the Kawi, last season it was well off the mark, still sounds like he is suffering with front end grip though.
The V4 is some engine, I noticed FQ is feeling the pinch too, he has been vocal about Yamaha needing to bring out a V4, which I would love to see. Saying that, the cross plane crank is still one of the best sounding bikes around for me. Can’t see a straight 4 been truly competitive for a while, Audi / Ducati have done some work on that V4 power plant and they are now reaping the rewards, like looking back to the 916 days 
Saying that Honda have run a V4 for years. Somebody in the press was blaming MM for Hondas poor performance the other week, saying he was a great rider but he was poor at developing the bike 
Qualifying and the sprint race today

JR clearly had more corner entry and mid corner speed but was slower out of the corner. Vtwins always generated more mechanical grip and grunt than straight fours but lost out on top end but Ducati have the best of both with the v four.

Not good
Ducati straight line speed is crazy, like cheating. I see they are trying to get another 500rpm for the Kawasaki, they need it!
Ducati dominance 
Saying that just bought myself a 1299 Panigale on a 17 plate, last of the big twins, I had been looking out for one for a while tbh

Copying WSB. Not watched one as yet?
To be fair as a fan there for the weekend it has to be more entertaining that just the free practice and qualifiers on the Saturday

Deffo wants it
If it’s like last year I much preferred WSB. Needs somebody to shake it up a bit, Aprillia or Yamaha in the mix for me, saying that we had quite a few years of Repsol dominance
