He did some tests/races on a Yamaha few seasons ago. Nice to see the paddock congratulate him and his best mate fabio.

Edge of the seat stuff and I was convinced when he cut in front of Ogura and they seemed to touch that he would get a penalty but fair play to the lad he’s worked hard for it. Shame they go into a five week break now as he’ll be dying to race again.

Just watched the highlight recording , just a couple of things.
Jake was lucky he didn't get a penalty they way he passed to take the lead, seemed to cut across and force the Japanese lad off line, and off track, I say this because of the weird rulings from race control at times, Binder lost podium places both days due to off an track infringement,at the same corner, just just crossed onto the paint, and got penalised.
Meanwhile Pedro Acosta clearly went outside the lines on his long track penalty, but didn't receive the expected extra long lap .... Their decisions baffle me at times.

Bizarre decisions weren’t there. Accosta should have got a penalty can’t believe no one has appealed it. However his initial penalty was dubious so that’s maybe why? I felt for binder though I get the rule but it doesn’t always seem fairly applied. Look at what 93 has got away with when someone like aleix got one, few rounds back. Did wonder about Jake but I reckon it was a racing incident and was marginal, Ai was pretty gracious about it, said no malice and he was obviously a lot faster.

Who would have thought we would be saying hopefully not a Japanese bike.
