Yeah, it was. Even with Rossi in pain.

 

any one watch the Moto 3 race?,best race of the day,fantastic to watch

 

Watched all 3 classes, Moto3 is always the most interesting to watch, how a rider can go from 13th to 1st or from 1st to 13th in just two corners is crazy. Slip streaming and calculating your position is just as big a part of their racing as is being able to ride the bike well.

 

MV said he was still feeling sore in his arm after his crash and Dovi had to miss the Warm Up as he was still feeling the ill affects of food poisoning! All three did very well, all things considered.

 

Moto 3 was imsane as usual. It looked like 8 wide a few times.
Did Ducati have a little more speed in there home town ?

 

Whatever they had going on, it brought them 5 bikes in the top 10. Dovi (1), Petrux (3), Bautista(5), Lorenzo(8) and Pirro(9). Did you see Petrux pass MV? Almost looked like MV was going backwards!

I was really digging watching Moto2 and the dicing between the three front runners. Pasini did some awesome passes.

 

Ducati tested twice at Mugello before the race. One of the tests was with Dovizioso and Lorenzo and all they did was work on setup, no new parts tested, nothing....and they only get 5 of those days outside of the official tests. Ducati really wanted to have a good showing at their home GP.

That podium by Petrucci was something that Scott Redding will never do, GP15, 16, 17, or 18....good way to save your ride and get re-signed....Although he is the lab bike for Ducati, his season hadn't gone so well until Mugello

The Migno win was the best of the day. I rooted for Pasini....not a fan of Alex Marquez at all.

 

Migno went wild after he won. I thought for sure he was going to lose being in the lead at the last corner as so often happens in Moto 3. Rossi was almost as happy as he was. Have not watched 2 yet, I'm in Utah working. Not on getting sister wives you sick bastards.

 

Commentators said the Ducs were putting out 280hp. Pulling wheelies at over 200 mph on the straights I believe it. I guess the special fo session rules they have been enjoying for 2 years has been good for them.

Not getting on the podium and having access to the concessions is what all the factories are working towards.

 

Norca do you know if Aprillia is working under the concessions rules?

 

I was under the understanding that Aprilia, KTM and Suzuki still fall under the concessions, as they fall under "new" or returning manufacturers and until they start placing like Ducati have will have them for a while.

 

Thank, that is what I thought.

 

I feel it is a fair and just rule. I don't think podiums made up of a combination of Honda's and Yamaha's is good for the sport in the long term. Last weekend was a great example of just how well the rule works. The GP's have been the fastest bikes for quite some time now, they just have had a problem turning.

 

I like the rule too but I don't think Ducati should have had 2 years of it.

The Duc's still have stupid power! They can power by anyone, no drafting required. Dovi has figured out tire wear it seams. The Yahama's struggled all weekend long. MM did very well after 5 crashes leading up to the race. Pedro ahead of MM is interesting, I don't think MM likes his front tire when braking hard.
Have not watched the other races yet.

 

I don't think many would have predicted the outcome of the MotoGP race! I for one was surprised. Although not a huge JL fan I found myself routing for him at the beginning of the race. What about the two rookie Yamaha riders?! Great job on both parts and JZ seems like he's still able to manage his tires to the end.

 

BTW, the Moto3 race was as fun to watch as usual!
