    MM is so far above the rest and Alex is not far, the domination almost gets boring but it’s amazing to watch nonetheless because they’re such cool guys. Morbidelli’s battle with Aldeguer on lap 18 was quite epic!

      I used to get bored when one rider dominated, but after all that MM has been through in the last few years, I’m glad to see him so happy again 😎

        Well, it is boring if MM wins every race without having to fight for it, even if it’s a crazy feat. I remember when Doohan came back winning A LOT on the Honda 500 after almost losing a leg and having a fused ankle, at a time the bikes were actively trying to kill you too… but I don’t remember him or anyone dominating that much, ever. And Alex is barely slower than him and also dominates the rest of the pilots. I think the Marquez name is gonna feature at the top of MotoGP for a long, long time!

          I never usually like to see one rider dominating like this but maybe I’ve changed. I want Marc to win as much as he can before he retires. I want to see how much he can achieve and how high he can go. I’m not sure how many years of riding he’s got left, maybe 3 or 4? I doubt he’ll ride for as long as Rossi did. In 10 years, people will look back and say ‘remember Marc Marquez? Wish I’d been watching back then.’ So I feel lucky I’m witnessing this era.

      I don’t normally bother with the other races but I’ll go back and watch if you say it’s a good one!

    The sprint saw more action than the race. The KTMs have good top speed but just couldn’t make s move early on in the race. If Acosta had gotten past Pecco, maybe there would have been more action
