MotoGP was back over the weekend with a round at the super-quick Mugello circuit in Italy. We took to Twitter for our regular RaceTweet race report feature.
Yeah this track has a nice long straight.
342kmh from Dovi’s Ducati. #MotoGP

In 2004 Nakano binned it on the main straight at some 300+Km/h after a tyre issue (from memory)

Marquez thought he would see if he could do better

He jumped off to avoid the wall. Imagine that choice – ground or wall at over 300km/h

But come the race, it didn’t go well. Ok, it was until a couple laps to go when his fourth crash for the weekend occured
Tough weekend for @marcmarquez93 who crashed out of 2nd place with only 2 laps to go. Via : MotoGP twitter.com/MarquesistasIN…

The kid has talent though and if he learns from this, in the future he will be almost impossible to beat
Marquez: “We can’t forget that this is my first year in the class and I am here to learn how things are in #motogp.”

Rossi typically had a new lid for Mugello, though he only got through 2 corners in the race
We’re loving Rossi’s new lid! #MotoGP twitter.com/bennetts_bike/…

We 100% agree with this. With rumours of Cal being booted from Tech 3, we hope it is for a factory ride. He is a talent
#MotoGP – As much as I still admire @valeyellow46 am starting to wonder what @calcrutchlow could do on the same bike! #VR46

Dovi: “I think that fifth place at Mugello is the best we can do with our current package,so we still have a lot of work to do.” #motogp

Smith may not be up to speed yet but this time he had an excuse. You you haven’t seen his finger, google it – so long as you’re not squeemish, so this ride was a great effort
