Just added Estoril to his list of conquests.  And it's a huge list!!

Never liked him when he rode with Ducati.....Don't care who wins, as long as it's a Honda but prefer Repsol team

Still, least he's on a Honda now but I don't think he's as good as ol' Mick.

I keep missing the race as I'm used to the main race running last.

It really was procession!!  The only change in position of note was by the first turn, and afterwards as four riders went into the weeds one at a time.  Got a bit interesting each time Lorenzo closed the gap well below 1 second, but apart from that you could leave for ten minutes at a time and return to see nothing changed except the lap count.

That must have been your local Channel 10.  Didn't happen in Maroonland.

Or in Canberra. It is more confusing that they split the races between One and Ten.
