    Shame for Redding, looking like it's the Rea show again for 2020.

    Epic highside from Bautista
     
  4. Trying to be the next Elon Musk? Think he said in he watched a Space X launch before he went out and said “watch this”. Haslm down as well, between gp and WSBK expensive weekend for Honda.
     
  5. GG looked great in P5, ride well, aggressive but controlled. Showed a lot of maturity battling with veterans with serious race craft. Love the “the Yamahas aren’t as slow compared to the Ducati as the rest” :)

    Did the electronics on Baustisas bike go AWOL? That looked epic.

  14. GG rode great race 3. Managed to keep a tire under him, make great move on VDM, little bobble at the end for p2 but was smart and maybe could’ve tried to catch VDM over riding the bike but kept his cool. He’s racing against some crafty veterans he’s never really battled before and is showing great composure. I will admit, even though this is his best result yet, he has been steadily improving and I under estimated him a bit. He also has a very good team behind him and hopefully he stays with them next year and continues to build. IMO he needed to get up to speed with the team and vice versa. Lots of challenges understanding each other’s needs, how to communicate(not just language), etc etc. plus learning new tracks, tires that have different characteristics than what he’s used to, etc. It’s a tough series for sure and he’s starting to really show promise. Plus he’s not yard sale-ing bikes every session and making the best use of his track time. Well done GG. Merica!!!
    And yes. No paragraphs or good grammar just for Papa.

    Don't under estimate him. The kid learns quick and he is dedicated to what he is doing.
