Amazing to see Marc win again, after so much hardship, first Honda victory since his last win 581 days ago apparently. He lead every lap over the start finish line.
Very brave pulling away from the field in the mixed conditions.

That is impressive from Marquez, is this a one off or a sign of things to come? We'll see, it seems he has lost some of that invincibility he had. But no reason why he can't still be a contender. Form is temporary, class is permanent

The more we go the more I think VR will stop at the end of this '21 season. Hopefully he'll remain around with his academy. What a great Champion.

Indeed. Nothing should take away from his great legacy. It was thanks to Vale I got into bike racing.

I too think he will hang up his helmet at the end of the year, shame the last few years haven’t been kind to him, but he will always be a great legend and a great character too

Oops, MM high siding during FP2, he's been lucky. Ducati take the risk to keep the riders in the box and dont send them under the heavy rain. Very wise imo.

New suspensions settings it seems. What is said is that he asked for the same settings used by FQ. Works fine…

If it was that simple why haven't Yamaha tried it before instead of watching him tool round at the back of the field, very strange.

Yes very strange indeed but may be each rider went his way at the beginning of the season. Its a real hassle and pain in the neck to fix the suspensions for race use. One degree of steering angle (equivalent of castor of a car) and you're in another dimension. Not forgetting that the wheelbase is variable…

Great qualifying by Maverick, but Marquez really bought back to down to earth after his win in Germany. His crash in FP2 must have really affected him

Good to see the Doctor a bit nearer the front

Let's hope FQ can keep things like this and keep his head on. Well done.

You're right, Yamaha just confirmed he's leaving at the end of this year. If Aprilia is not sure ATM and I wonder if he will help his team mate to win the championship or if he'll freely fight against the French. After all, he was supposed to be the #1 of the Yam'team…

Caught the highlights last night. Another great win for Fabio, he's looking more and more like the title is likely to be his. Better performance by Vinales to second, but he's definitely made the right decision to leave Yamaha. He needs a fresh start

Good recovery from Marquez, although he doesn't seem to be a step ahead of the others like he used to

Both the Marquez brothers have been down in their holiday home just down the road from us for the last week. I have seen them around but they didn't recognise me !

Great win for Ducati and even more important Jorge Martin.
I think we just saw the rise of a new superstar, pretty impressive to win your sixth GP on a circuit you have never seen before whilst still recovering from a significant injury. Look forward to seeing his development over his career.

Nice to see a new winner in Martin. It's getting more and more competitive. I really doubt we will see Marquez reach his previous heights ever again

Looking more and more like it will be Fabio's year, but still quite a way to go

Lucky escape for Pedrosa and Salvadori, great work by the marshalls to put that fire out. Not quite what Dani expected on his return

Really scary, I have seen this happen a few times when the second rider in line (Salvadori) is unsighted to a bike in the track and normally ends in serious (or worse) injuries

Suspended by the team now - will he ride again this year? And would another team want to sign him after his actions?

Vinales suspended, don't think anyone saw that coming. If Yamaha's allegations are true, that's pretty damning. However as Mir says, we can't be 100% certain of the truth, so who knows?
