Yeah, real tight. After the relative damp squibs served up in the junior classes, I thought halfway through the main race this would be more of the same. Especially once Pecco got past. But credit to Martin. Man, that was edge of the seat stuff.

Back to the drawing board for KTM. Two vastly different tracks in two weeks now and they were battling compared to the Ducatis in both.

Only 1 non Duc in the top 9 or so…but I felt KTM had the pace, maybe they got their tyres wrong. Can’t say anything about Honda or Aprillia though and as usual Yamaha we’re nowhere

You do realise Duke is a major line of KTM bikes?

The common nickname for Ducati is duc, and is pronounced like duck.

It was just disconcerting seeing that he was unable to make any impression on Martin and Bagnaia in clear air once he had cleared Marini.

But yeah. They definitely have the pace and potential but certainly have to make a significant step forward if they want to be regularly challenging for wins.

Roll on Assen!
 
Maybe Brad was stuck behind Miller for too long, to have any chance of catching up with the 2 in front. Miller is a bit worrying though... again not able to take advantage of front row

Brad needs to sort out his qualifying

Doing a lot better, but it's now the second quali in a row he gets nailed by a yellow in the last minute. Needs to be doing a bit more earlier. Bad luck for Darryn... getting taken out in the 1st corner

Darryn needs to come home and slaughter a goat or something hahaha, his sangomas are not happy.
 
Unfortunately for Darryn, the chances of being caught up in a first corner incident are so much higher when you qualify near the back.

Long lap penalty for Brad. What a joke! No European rider would have received the same treatment for what the replay showed.

After watching the sprint again, sadly have to agree with the stewards - FQ had received 2 warnings after he had been on the green, another and they would have given him a penalty/LL too...
BB did in fact go onto the green and it was the right call ( still pissed about it no doubt, but yeh... )

Oh well, onto the race we go today - BB to get podium is a min!
 
And that just sums up BB's luck...
And what's worse is it promoted AE to the podium... :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:
 
Moto3 can be so exhausting…. Yho… such great racing though
