Crazy race weekend at Mandalika, sprint race saw Martin win it and lead the championship going into Sunday after a blunder of a Q1 for Pecco. Now, come race day today Martin opted for a soft front tire (beyond me why ANYONE would do such a stupid ass thing considering the factors, new surface, heat and long race distance) so that ended up in disaster for him losing the front end about half way through the race and gifting Pecco the win. Maverick had a solid weekend, he had tire issues as well yesterday during the sprint which say him drop to 4th and then today he narrowly escaped with 2nd place as surprisingly Quartararo was on his ass for the last few laps of the race but with that underpowered Yamaha and not having enough grunt/grip out of the corners it was impossible for him to pass Maverick. Shit weekend for Brad Binder, some very questionable moves from him today, hopefully it won't be a regular thing now. Usual HRC issues, no front end warnings and MM DNF's both races, Mir also crashed. Pecco is now back up with a semi-comfortable margin and with the weather being less than favorable at Phillip Island next weekend, it will be survival of the fittest in the final stretch of the championship. Onto the next one!
