People that want to discuss the racing really should put "spoiler" in the title, just because many wait til the next day to watch. Personally I don't open threads that have anything to do with Moto gp or WSB until after I've watched the races, but some may not do this until after they've had a result disclosed once or twice. Just throwing this out there.
But yeah, it was a great race.

As I said in my earlier thread.

Another great race.  This time it was hard racing, tire management, not appearing artificial

Brno MotoGP race winner Andrea Dovizioso says his “strange” pace out front was a deliberate attempt to break up the pack behind him.
Dovizioso led all but three laps in the grand prix, but ran an initial pace that was almost a second down from what had been projected from practice – as he and other frontrunners worked to preserve the tyres.


This meant the Italian spent the first half of the race at the head of what was at one point an 11-bike lead group, and Dovizioso admitted he tried to disrupt those behind him by varying his speed – having at one point gone from mid-1m57s to high-1m56s and then high-1m57s in the span of three laps.

“At the beginning, I was trying to make something strange, because the [lead] group was big.

“Is always better to have less riders when you start to fight [for the win], especially when you have to manage the tyre.

Now that is an example of "race craft".

The skill and the experience of an old hand at this game, and a steady and unflappable demeanor.
