One thing I've learned from watching Belgian (French-speaking) coverage of MotoGP is that the French term for a chicane is 'piff-paff'.

I think that's a much better term and recommend its usage henceforth...

He's just toying with them!
Good to see JM giving it large again.
Sad to see how broken Bagnaia is though......though no surprise, except to #63

Ride of the race for Jorge Martin (IMHO, obvs).

[Le_Fromage_Grande]

That was a good race to watch, shows all the talk about how bad the track is bollox

That's a pretty rapid flip-flop...

Any track with 4 chicanes is a bit of a one-trick pony...

It is, but todays racing was good to watch, in contrast to yesterdays sprint race.

The commentators even referred to it as a go-kart track. Spot on IMHO.

Main race was much better than the sprint, Marc looked like he didn't really need to try once he was passed.

Great rides from the Prillas, would love to see Pedro on a better bike.

Talking of bikes, Pecco is starting to look broken regardless of the 25 bike.

Surprisingly it was a pretty good race,overall. That off for Bastianini was well scary and if that can't be fixed,then they shouldn't race there again.

Yes, I have to admit the race turned out much better than I anticipated. Bastianini's off and the ensuing chaos was a classic 'tight chicane' off, and as there are 4 of the fückers on the track, this is very, very problematic. That could easily have been another Simoncelli type incident.
