Pedrosa has been flopping his arm about as though he's trying to get bloody flowing.

Smith top of FP2 just now, Kent continuing to impress in Moto3 Thumbs Up

Conversation overheard in the LeMans paddock, this afternoon:-

MM: What's that Jorge?
JL: What's what, Marc?
MM: That thing there, on the table!
JL: How could you forget, Marc? That's your arse on a plate, I handed it to you earlier!

It is a shame that whenever Jorge wins, it is usually a boring race. At least MM is entertaining and we still get some proper wheel to wheel action no matter where he is on the grid.

Because Marquez always has close races, and hasn't won most races in a season from miles in the lead with no real challenge?

Ok that HAS happened but he also manages to screw up the starts a lot meaning we get more mental sideways action from him than most other riders.

It's good to see MM, getting a taste of his own medicine!
He barged his way through to a world title.
Looks like the pack have learned from his antics and decided to repay him, with interest!
IMO, MM is going to bin it big time, sooner or later, he may think he is in control, but you can't be that close to the edge amd not get bitten!

I agree, he's a very talented rider but sometimes he just far too ruthless with his overtakes that come from way back which other riders then have to take evasive action to avoid having a collision with him.

Talking from experience that's how you win. It's what separates winners from losers.

MM's "overtaking" antics are way beyond what we've seen in the GP class for a long time.
At least when Rossi nerfed him off, he didn't whine about it, let's face it he couldn't complain because he's been "at it", himself, for a while now!
Seems the other riders have wised up and are prepared to dish it out to MM now!

It's not really the fault of Marquez, it's what the new classes have bred.

Sticking 30 riders on identical engines, means that aggressive passes are expected. He has merely took this into the GP class and it's much needed in my opinion. For too long MotoGP has been turning into an F1 on bikes, hopefully the more Moto2 riders that come up, the more interesting it becomes.

Well actually Marquez and Honda tried to bring F1 tactics to MotoGP in the Argentina race. Marquez tried to getaway at the front and Crutchlow did his best to hold up everyone else. That's garbage racing and will ruin MotoGP.

There's a world of difference between the limitations of the bike, dictating the race tactics and stuffing it up the inside, knowing full well that if the rider being overtaken doesn't comply you're both going to end up chewing tarmac.
I'm merely surprised that MM has managed to get away with it for so long, without repercussions and some gravel rash!

A very popular tactic of the often praised F1 driver Ayrton Senna.

Since becoming the world's top rated borefest, F1 has been hemorrhaging viewers and money, hand over fist!
We can only hope that none of its shittyness rubs off on MotoGp!
