Baz was the ride of the day. He hardly got a mention.

Brilliant for Vinales and Suzuki

What a cracking race - heart was in my mouth for the last 5 or 6 laps. Great podium - something for everyone (except the Cal haters)

Lol it baffles me how they still can't see he's the best UK talent by miles and miles.

Does Cal got haters? Fairly indifferent to him as a person but he's a great rider, awesome ride today. 🙂

Well, you have to say that with eight (different) winners in as many races, it really does give better value than F1. pity the championship doesn't reflect that.

Sure was. Pedrosa out with broken collar bone.
Laverty apparently OK.
Marquez manages to almost hold it on his knee/elbow but jumps straight back on.

I knew it was possible, but I didn't expect to see it happen this morning!
Well done MM93. It's been a great season this year, let's see what can happen in the last few races

As if getting up at 5.40 wasnt bad enough, the sudden deflation was crippling. It was the longest of long shots ,Cest la vie 😥

So much for the Michelin tyres suiting Rossi and the M1. I've never known him make so many unforced errors.

Fair play to Marc for being able to win so emphatically with a bike/tyre/electronics combination that has been causing so much grief for the other Honda riders.

What can Nicky do on home turf?!

I think he is a total a hole but FairPlay to Crutchlow, two wins in the season, can't argue with that.

Nice PF, I like a man who can accept he may be wrong.

Brilliant ride by him if you ask me. Possibly helped by lack of dry setup time for everyone, but still, outstanding ride.

I think watching his interviews this year someone has had a word with him about how he's coming over and he's sorted the attitude.

I loved his reaction to Rossi, using vague lipreading he says something like
"I saw it was you on my pit board and thought Oh No"
Rossi laughed and gave him the finger. I laughed lots.

He's from USA. Thought he had a great weekend and happy to see him back on that bike.

Cal's ride was brilliant. Wish MM had stayed on the bike for a fight with Cal but as he responded to Cal's pace he went down. Shows how fast he was.

That was nerve wracking last few laps. Stoked.

........ maybe the answer is there in his own words ....... his track record of loyalty to his MotoGP teams?

Looked like a great race until the frontrunner started falling off. After that it was rather dull. Great to see Dovi on the top step though.

Disappointing to see Crutchlow go down. Again.

He reminds me so much of watching Gardner. The talent is there, but there's no half measures, it's do or die.

Entertaining, but not getting points. I suppose it's a worthwhile strategy because this year he has certainly stamped his mark on the series, and when you see that he can run with the likes of Marquez, next year is going to be very interesting.

What on earth has happened to Smith? He's faded right out. I had him pegged as the best of the British riders.

Smith is coming back from a pretty serious leg injury at an endurance race. But his year has been bad before that, his team have just not managed to adapt the bike to the new tyres.

As for Cal falling off, un equal machinery plays a part but that Honda has been difficult. It's only hidden by the talents of Marquez

That's why I compare him to Gardner. He's riding a bike beyond its limits. Pays off sometimes... 🙂
