Congratulations to Bastianini on the great victory. I congratulate Pecco for not risking an accident to regain first place. He showed great maturity. Had he crashed he wouldn't have points and it would have been worse for him. Consistency is perhaps more important than a one time victory. Pecco has been on the next level these past few races. He absolutely deserves to win the world championship. I'm glad Fabio and Nakagami were unharmed after the accident. That's the good thing.

This race was a great one and it greatly enhanced the chances for the top three riders to have equal chances to win the MotoGP this season.Unlike in F1 where the Championship is over here there is great drama going on.I think though that still Quartararo was unlucky and among the top 4 riders fighting he is the best in my personal opinion.Even Pecco is not bad and if he shows the same maturity in every remaining race then chances are extremely high for him too.I think Bastianini needs more luck than the other two riders for him to make it a dream come true to win the title.

A bad day for Fabio Quartararo and a very profitable day for Bagnaia, now the competition between Fabio and Bagnaia to fight over the world title is increasingly fierce, both of them are now only 10 points adrift.
The number of points for both (Fabio Quartararo and Bagnaia) is indeed very close because in yesterday's race Fabio Quartararo did not get a single point due to an incident he did not want. And obviously it was very painful for Fabio Quartararo because he couldn't hold Bagnaia in terms of getting more points in every race.

Quote
And for the race at the Motegi Twin Ring Circuit in Japan, of course it will be very difficult for Fabio Quartararo because there are many straight tracks here and are very beneficial for Bagnaia who rides a Ducati motorbike.
At Motegi I can't predict how it will turn out because last year Dorna at that time canceled the Motegi race and replaced it with a MotoGP race in the American series.
You can read about it in this Resource. Likewise in 2020, where there was no race at Motegi because it was disrupted by the pandemic, so the statistical data that can be seen is the data in 2019.

Yesterday was a very bitter day for Fabio and for us fans nothing better can happen (good that nothing serious happened to Fabio) than this result yesterday.

It was really bittersweet for Fabio Quartararo because the incident made him have to go home without bringing any points. So he has to try harder and better in the next race which will be held this weekend in Asia, to be precise at Twin Ring Motegi Japan. Hopefully there will be no more adverse events there because Motegi is a very beautiful circuit and also has a straight road which is the mainstay of the Ducati motorcycle.

The most important thing for Bagnaia and Aleix today is to get through after the crash from Fabio, it is not so important whether first or third, getting through is the most important thing. For us spectators there is nothing more exciting than when the first 3 in the world championship are very close together.

They are very close indeed, I may watch the end of the season,  Grin.
We now have 3 drivers in 16 points.

Time for Ducati to shine  Smiley

Bagnaia will have one smiling eye and one crying eye, 20 points gained but also 5 points lost somehow, unlike Bagnaia Bastianini can risk everything as he can only theoretically fight for the world championship. I'm also happy for Aleix, as you wrote there is only 16 points difference between the first 3.

Ducati clearly has the better cards at the end of the season, they are on the rise.

Actually this is great news for Gasly if he is really likely to start racing for Alpine as of next season. Because Alpine are in a much better condition than AlphaTauri now. Of course I also agree that the condition of the teams changes very sharply from now on. We are in a new era in F1 from now on and we started seeing even unexpected teams having much a better season. It is hard to predict how strong Alpine and AlphaTauri will be next time. But for now there is a huge gap between their cars.

Gasly and Ocon both are very ambitious drivers. I wonder how fierce they would compete with each other. Ocon is a driver who doesn't back down easily even against his teammates. He has made difficulties for Alonso many times so far. I don't even know which one of them would be the main driver of the team. Both of them are skilled young drivers. Maybe they would like to leave them alone to show their skills for some time and then make a decision about it.

There are new rumours regarding Nyck de Vries and Pierre Gasly.

After being in talks with a couple of teams it looks like Nyck de Vries is close to sign for AlphaTauri now. He is expected to replace Gasly in this case which is even more interesting. Because I wasn't expecting Gasly to be out of Red Bull programme completely. I thought that he would fight for a seat at Red Bull again. In addition, Gasly is the biggest candidate to have the available seat at Alpine in case AlphaTauri announce Nyck de Vries officially. Honestly I would rather replace Tsunoda instead of Gasly. Because I don't think that he has a bigger talent than Gasly. Gasly has been more successful than him in this season also.
When you have a team that is fighting for the middle spots, like be 4-5-6th spot, then you need younger drivers with the hope that you could build a better team in the future. Meaning, if Gasly was still there, AT would have hard time building around him, because by the time they have a good car he would be too old to keep dominating for a long time.

On the other hand when they get Nick, they are going to hope that in 3-5 years they will have a great car, and their driver could win many titles with it. As we all can see we do not expect them to be good right away, but look at Haas, they were bottom team until this year, always finishing 19th and 20th, and this year they got some points, nobody knows which team could get better eventually.

I also think that Tsunoda had 2 years to show his talent which up until now he hasn't.Gasly has not been brilliant either and it looks like his fault but also the car has been not performing as well as the last couple of years.Nyck De Vries really made a great race in his first ever race F1 in his career and most probably this has caught a couple of eyes with Alpine being at the forefront of getting him.I don't know if Albon will race this upcoming race,most likely he is but I would have loved to see another race to be given to De Vries because the Monza track favored a top speed which Williams is not lacking so far.

Ducati has been consistent on his previous performances. I hope that he could maintain the same speed or even exceed it for him to beat his own record. I could also smell a good victory for Ducati tomorrow. It will be another challenging day yet he already has an edge for sure. He deserves another win this time.
The victory was indeed achieved by Ducati today but not from the factory team, but from the Gresini Racing satellite team with rider Enea Bastianini. I just finished watching the race just now and congratulations to Enea Bastianini for winning the race in Aragon today.

And what is very unfortunate for the three riders today also happened to Marc Marquez whose bike looks slow and less stable so Fabio Quartararo touched Marc Marquez's motorbike until he fell. Likewise with Takaki Nakagami who also fell after touching Marc Marquez's motorbike which looked slow on the straight track.

I confess: I will watch the race and it will be the first I will watch this year only to see what can Marquez do.

Ducati is very fast this weekend, it seems the victory goes only through Ducati and Bagnaia, would be very important for Bagnaia and the championship if he can keep his form and at least finish on the podium tomorrow. For Fabio it will be difficult to get on the podium and also Aleix could make up points again. Will be an exciting race tomorrow and I'm looking forward to it.
The front row has been controlled by Ducati for tomorrow through today's qualifying and another remarkable thing is Pecco Bagnaia who is pole position for tomorrow by breaking last year's speed record of himself by setting the fastest time of 1'46,069 seconds where last year's was 1 '46,322 seconds. And yes tomorrow is another day of victory for Ducati if the Ducati rider doesn't crash in tomorrow's race.

Good to see him back after 3-month rest. He looks confident driving his Honda RC213V and able to save him from crashing on the last lap. He also looks crazy only left 0.3 seconds from Jorge Martin on the first day, this shows us he still has spirit and is not stiff on shift handle even long time on the track. So we don't have a surprise if have the podium next.
To get on the podium seems to be a bit difficult for Marc Marquez even though he really likes and masters the layout of the Aragon circuit, but considering he has just returned after being absent from racing for three months makes it a little difficult to get on the podium because this season no podium has been achieved by Marc Marquez.
And it will certainly be a great surprise if Marc Marquez is able to grab his first podium of the season at Aragon on Sunday.

Yesterday I watched FP1 as well as FP2. And it was very visible after the FP2 session was over, Marc Marquez was caught by the camera while holding his shoulder when he wanted to start practice. Saturday FP3 and FP4 and qualifying will start for all the riders who will compete on Sunday, let's see how Marc Marquez is after that, whether he will get a good position or just complete the top ten for the starting position.
