Three to go!
Just for fun, top 3 + top rookie results
It aint over 'til it's over !

KN58, looking OUTSTANDING up there. We might be asking your shirt size in a few races.
Thanks again Ivanhoe! Huge appreciation for your spreadsheet and posts.
Thanks Ivanhoe
Thanks Ivanhoe for posting this, I find myself plummeting down the order as I can't even seem to get my 5 picks on the track at the same time, let alone score!
MM’s return, and Jack’s
MM’s return, and Jack’s strong form have me climbing the order nicely. If only Raul had liked the KTM
Team Orders Krop?
Again, Ducati doesn't have to tell Bezzecchi to care for VR46 brother Pecco. Nor Miller! He passed clean and offered a tow in my view. Martin? Overriding lots of corners on fast approach. Zarco? That one dive almost hit the back of Bagnaia, and he was not changing his braking or line. Red went to Pramac after for a chat.
Marquez can do the Dovi, but not a Pramac rider. Bezzecchi dropped like a stone when it dried and his tires were worn. He'd done his job out front, but it cost his Michelins. Sitting in 2nd costs visibility but overheats the front AND saves tire on a drying track. Miller was smart.
Bastiannini and Bagnaia are already in cahoots. Marini hears the VR46 orders. DiGi is too far back to be of service.
Team orders need to be in French and Spanish, with purple accents. And I think is just wise.
Logical, even natural. Witness the flip side for isolated Fabio or Aleix! Hung out to dry in the wet, Red Armada running the gauntlet. No inline 4s even in play, it will be WORSE post Suzuki.
How will Yamaha even get front tires next year?! Better hope KTM and Honda leave some super softs laying around to buy with Monster money from Red Bull staff. Or have Fabio's French passport posted up at Michelin's tent. A hard rain is gonna fall.
Just when you think
That Ducati have thrown this away, we are reminded of the late Nicky Hayden's quote of "That's why we line up on Sunday." The commentators perspectives on the relative merits of rain skills of Pecco and Fab did not play out. We've got ourselves a proper dog fight for the end of the year.
Or, “It ain’t over till it’s over”
Either way, we still have some races to enjoy.
PI
I'm bias but nothing beats late-season high stakes championship battles at the Island.
Better base?
This was a really weird race, completely contradicting expectations.
Previous rounds have shown Fabulous/Yamaha as having the better base setting: quick from first practice, where Pecco/Ducati have had to work hard through the weekend. And Pecco has struggled in wet conditions.
Fabulous has had his issues in the past with mixed, not quite wet, not really dry, but this was nothing of the sort = full wet, in which he has previously been fast.
But even Cal admitted Yamaha missed a trick, couldn’t find the feeling in the wet.
The wet race should have been a blessing for Yamaha, instead it turned into a nightmare.
Just weird, given Yamaha/Fabulous seemed to have a much better base to start from. Fabulous fan here, can’t help thinking they have let a golden opportunity go begging…but that’s why it is a team sport, far more involved than just the 24(?) laps on race day.
Thanks Ivanhoe
I'm going outside for a beer....
