MotoGP 2020

I wouldn't be surprised to see Marc ruled of next week's race but equally, I wouldn't be surprised to see him take the start line and win it.
 
Brad's times were second only to Marc over the last few laps. He must've made a mistake, but his future looks good.

Not a fan of Marc, but you don't want to see that. Shoulder or collarbone.

Brad Binder reveals what went wrong during his debut MotoGP race

Jerez, Spain - South Africans watched with bated breath as Brad Binder made his MotoGP debut on Sunday, but the television coverage left them in the dark about how he ended up at the back of the field after starting 11th on the grid and making a promising start to the race.

However, his KTM Red Bull team revealed after the race that the South African made a mistake under braking on lap seven, which saw him run off the track. This relegated him to the back of the back of the field, although he did manage to work his way back to 13th position after putting in some blistering laps.

Stupid question but is there a link that shows each rider's [best] lap times?
 
A more detailed description of Brad's incident

"Unfortunately, I grabbed the front brake a little bit too aggressively and locked up the front wheel and then I tucked the front after that and, to be honest, I’m really lucky my race didn’t end there because it should’ve resulted in a crash. But I managed to keep it up straight and go through the gravel but at Turn 5 there’s no way to come back on to the track except for doing a massive loop in the gravel. With the TC [Traction Control] then you literally stand still because with the wheel spinning in the dirt you can’t just hook up and go. It took me so long to get out of the gravel and I think my team said it took me 26 seconds because of the run-off.

With his pace after recovering from his off, once he gets to grip with the bike his future looks promising. The fact that he was hanging with Pol before his off gives me a lot of hope. Pol is no slouch.

Premier rookie mistake, but his Brad, he'll come back stronger, he always does - it was pity about his qualy, that had set him back

Definitely! If his incident did indeed cost him 26 seconds as stated, and he only finished 29 seconds behind Quartararo, that means he was comfortably running podium pace and could've been a real handful towards the end. I am definitely hopeful of some solid top 5 or 6 (or even a podium!) performances this season.
 
How disappointing and frustrating to see Darryn mess it up again.
If Moto3 races were 15 laps he'd be a world champ.
 
Just mind blowing!

Marc Marquez aiming to ride at this weekend's Andalucia GP

Just four days after fracturing his humerus, the World Champion will try to ride at this weekend's Gran Premio Red Bull de Andalucia

Repsol Honda Team's Marc Marquez will try and make an astonishing return to MotoGP™ this weekend, just four days after fracturing his right humerus in Sunday's season-opening Spanish Grand Prix. The World Champion had successful surgery on Tuesday, with MotoGP™ Traumatology Specialist Dr Mir saying the Spaniard could at best hope for a Brno return in two weeks.

However, in a superhuman effort, the eight-time World Champion is currently travelling to the Circuito de Jerez-Angel Nieto where he'll then undergo a medical check at 13:30 this afternoon, with the hope of being passed fit by the MotoGP™ medical team so he can then participate in this weekend's Gran Premio Red Bull de Andalucia.
