Definitely a wild Sprint.  Rain was the only way 63 was going to get on the
podium.

What about the silly season and the strange to me moves, especially Ogura
to Yamaha.  I really hope Bastianini ends up back on a Ducati.  I wonder if
the move to 850s and Pirelli's will be a bit of a leveller?

I thought I had the time right, but just logged in to see the finish.
F**K
Did they change the start time, or I am just totally unable to keep track
of time zones, especially when it happens in my own zone?

Colin, My theory is that Ducati stopped improving the 1000cc bike a couple years ago. They’d’ve thought their 1000 unbeatable. Ergo the 850 was totally developed. It’s wacky but I hope I’m right. Phil/NJ
