Sounds a good one - catching the highlights later as I'm only free to air. Moto3 is a favourite class of mine, as I love singles. And close racing.

Certainly enjoyed that race...FQ seemed to be struggling with an odd tank slapper from time to time on his bike.  Masterful riding by Vin~ales and Marquez as always.

Poor Doctor...not a great set of last 10 races...5 DNF's...having a hard time this year indeed.

I was hoping for more cutting and dicing at the front like last year but Rins going out early didn't help with that.  Still in all a good race and while a MM93 fan I'm glad to see others at the sharp end mixing it up, good on Dovi for at least minimizing the damage from a poor qualification position.

Glad to see 12 get a top step after the bad luck with others taking him out so often recently. I can't help but being excited for 20, as he seems really happy to be there. 4 and 9 really got good starts with that hole shot device (or is it just hype and they launched well?) and showed good pace. Sucked for 42 to go down after such a good start and while leading. Who would have thought 3 of the top 5 finishers would be Yamahas , even though they mostly did well in practice and qualifying.

Fun to see the young guys being competitive.  Can't wait for next week in the 'Ring.
The best part of riding a motorcycle is to tilt the horizon and to lift the front coming out of a corner and to drift the back end powering thru loose dirt and to catch a little air topping a hill and... yeah it's all good!
