Wow another person that wakes up early to watch live like I do haha, great race indeed. Great seeing Vale back to form and showing people he still has it. Kind of sick of seeing this kid win to be honest but well at least he's not doing it as easy as the beginning of the season. He seems to be pushing harder and harder which caused him that crash in Q2 yesterday so we'll see if he can upkeep the pace without ruining the perfect season so far.

Same here, I'm always up early for the races on Sunday. Race could start at 3AM and I'd set my alarm to wake me up to see it live

My take on Marquez, at this point some of his wins are brought down to the bike itself. I hate being "that guy" that says someone wins because of the bike. However, if you compare him to the other three, you can tell his has a little extra grunt when he needs it. Even Pedrosa's RC213V doesn't have the overall grunt of Marquez's bike. Marquez is also willing at this point to make some super aggressive moves. He's got a 50+ points spread and can afford to bin it just to find where his limit is at. I would of thought his crash in qualifying would have done it but I think it's going to take him going down in a race for him to dial it back and ride a little more sensible. However, if no one is willing to jam him right back after he passes he's going to continue to ride the way he does until someone fights him back.

Rossi would be the most willing to fight back but it goes back to my initial point of Marquez just having the faster bike. All the race craft in the world isn't going to help Rossi if he can't get right on Marquez's back wheel and set up corners to pass him. He has the pace to keep with Marquez, just needs that little bit more of grunt to get on his back wheel and then make the lunge underneath. I believe we'll see a very good race in Assen, it's a smaller track where agility and bike setting mean more than outright speed. Because anytime you have a giant straight on a track, the Honda will use that to their advantage.

That being said, Yamaha could have put a stop to this had they not blindly accepted Honda's notion of a engine development freeze. Yet they agreed and now are paying the price for it.

Plus one on the spoiler in the subject line. I cannot watch the races live, and often can't watch them until a week later. So thanks for ruining this one dick.

Yeah if anything this was a real pee pee head remark.
