MotoGP is hands down the best racing series to watch right now.

Every race is a fight, every race has so many over takes, every race is unreal.

*** SPOILER ALERT ***

Was the Argentina racing one of the most fucked up races in a while?

9 row head start for Jack Miller after a big fuck up on the grid with all but Jack Miller going back into the pits to change for slicks.

Is Marc Marquez a fucking alien? Stalls his bike on the grid, gets a ride through penalty for not obeying the marshall, ends up being almost last and then climbs his way back to #5. Almost took out Esparago on his way up, gets a penalty and has to give up a position and then takes out Valentino on his way up again! He ended up finishing the race 18th after a post-race 30 seconds penalty for the hit on Rossi.

Marquez riding +1/+2 seconds faster than anyone on track and banging fastest lap with 10 laps to go on destroyed tires. Fucking alien this guy is.

Great podium with Cal, Zarco and Rins. Proves that the all machines, factory and satellite, are all worthy of a podium and it's ALL about the rider and proper tire choice / management.
 
Well, today was a farce, an embarrassment to be honest for this level of Motorsport.

Not only did Jack Miller get robbed but what Marquez did was dangerous both at the start and during the race, banging riders out of the way. That start should have been immediately aborted and MM sent to the pit lane as soon as he put his hand up let alone rolling his bike for almost a minute as Race Direction looked on. They should have all been made to line up single file a small gap in between all down pit lane and as soon as the flag drops all riders respect the 60k speed limit until they exit. Jack deserved the advantage giving he made the right gutsy call on slicks.

Moto2 Mark was fast but had he passed riders fair and square instead of crashing them out of the way his position would have been substantially curtailed. One can question MM riding as overly aggressive, his last corner inside divebombs, 3 on Dovi in the past few races, would have resulted in crashes designed to take out the rider on the outside had Dovi not been expecting them and ready for it. If you followed MM career through 125 and Moto2 he`s made many questionable passes this way. He nearly took out Vinales in FP2 in the same way. That being said, it's really too bad no one in this country follows this, they'd rather watch the nearly autonomous sterilized procession that is modern F1. This is extreme sport for men with iron balls, the guys on 4 wheels require 2 mile runoff and halos.
 
It was a crazy race for sure !!!
When Marquez went into Rossi's pit to apologize and got turned over... LOL

Gonna b a good season :)
