Marc said he didn't manage to set up the bike during the weekend. He could push it for a lap or two but over race distance it wasn't good enough.

Very true. He said too that it has taken weight off his shoulders

You could definitely see it from the rear view on Rossi's onboard cam. MM couldn't hold a line and kept going wide every time he pushed it.

Congrats to Dani, I'm glad he was able to reel in and pass Jorge. I was worried Jorge was going to run away with it after he got around the pair of Ducatis and had all that open track. What a group effort though, all this time we're trying guess who was going to beat mm first who would've thought it would be all of them.

What a great point! It's not only that he was beaten but he didn't even make the podium

And Marquez working on a new more extreme riding style since his current style didn't work last weekend.
