    Is MM becoming more manganous in his old age. I just watched the highlights I didn't see the whole race.
    But it looked like he was going to let his brother podium, but as soon as Martin fell he passed him.

    Interesting
    So anyway I just saw the video of MM and his sidekick brother jumping up and down like a couple Looney tunes, like they both won the race,sad.
    On the podium peco barely clapped when they handed the trophy to Marc

    What’s sad about going a little crazy celebrating being on a MotoGP podium with your brother? I think it is awesome, and I am no MM fan.

    I bet if you gave him the option to win or he and his bro be on the podium that he’d choose the latter. They are very close.

    So staying on your line then having someone run wide and turn in to you is now classified as a "bonehead move"? And then you try to spin it that everyone that doesn't have a burning hatred for Marquez just saw it wrong? :crackup::crackup:

    As soon as that contact happened, Marquez started FLYING.

    Yeah, they just beat two GP24’s on slower GP23’s, becoming the first brothers to podium together in the premier class since 1997, and Marc did so riding injured and starting 13th to finish second…

    why would they be excited? lol

    It's like their TVs air an alternate broadcast different than ours.

    I saw a quote somewhere from his crew chief yesterday saying that as soon as he saw Morbidelli hit Marquez, he knew that there was no more strategy. :crackup:

    It would be interesting to know what "strategy" they had cooked up for an injured MM93 starting 13th on the grid. Keep it cool and shoot for a top 5?

    Part of their strategy should have been to make sure Marc didn't pull any bonehead moves like letting Frankie bash into him.
    That was totally Marc's fault, the damned bonehead.

    Yep, fool should have known - once the racer in front of you blows a corner and goes off line, you are now obligated to surrender the corner and NOT be on the correct line so you don’t interfere with his effort to get back on line.

    Racing 101 really.
