Dovi knows he has the brakes and the ponies. Gotta give M his due; there was nothing left unused in his lunch box.

that was a heck of finish on Moto 2.... How did Alex Marq run the race with a burning rotor?

After a couple laps it quit glowing. Either came unbound or burnt out enough to no longer braking.

I watch the races live in real time...perfect Sunday morning: everyone's gone, MotoGP is streaming live, and I've got some Kahlua for the coffee... :boozing: :coffee:

MotoGP as a subscription pays back in so many ways.
I'm going to wait a day or two then go back to watch the race from Marquez's bike.
Not sure if there was a camera on Vinales's bike but that would be an interesting ride too.

MUCH cheaper than flying to all the races, hotels, meals, taxis, etc...plenty o' video features and old races to watch, too!

I watch on Bein.  When I set the DVR it didn't have the live feed in the early morning.  Just replays at 1230.   The Moto 1 and 2 races were highlighted.  That's why I didn't see Alex's brakes burn off.  I thought the bike might catch fire and then he finished 3rd.
