    Amazing to see him fight and run a complete race to the podium...damn! And yeah, he seemed to be the focus for 80% of the race coverage.

    HRC said the electronics acted as designed and that MM would’ve saved it.

    If he was you’d never know judging from today. He definitely seemed equal with VdM regarding engine power.

    He did seem closer. Close enough where it was hard to say whether power or corner speed made the difference on any given occasion.

    I was nervous as shit during that race...and I have a half-empty pack of menthols to prove it.

    2006 Valencia MotoGP (We all know what went down there, except Broome, because 2006 racing is B.C. to him) and the 2018 Twins Cup race at Road America (Draik won) are the only other times I've been that nervous.

    I had actual anxiety hoping nothing bad would happen! Hope GG has turned the page for the remainder of the season and not just a fluke because of previous testing time at this track.

    That's such an awesome accomplishment by Garrett. It's so awesome seeing an American up on the podium again.

    If not for over-defending in those last corners, he’d have scored P2. Great result!

    LOVED watching GG achieve some well earned success on the world stage. It was really great also for him to get so much screen time and commentary. Hopefully more to come for sure. Also really happy to see he represents the same way on the world stage in parc ferme as he did on the national stage.

    His mid corner speed in sector 3 was awesome.
