Mat Oxley
That takes MM past Hailwood in the Honda all-classes wins league. Only Redman, Pedrosa and Doohan ahead of him now. And like Doohan, all his wins in the premier class.

Can you say MM is the best rider in the world right now despite his bike doesn't have the power to match with the Ducs. You can't underestimate Marquez at this point.

Jorge Lorenzo: "I'm wrong, helpless and angry with what happened because Marc's entry has made me unable to enter, I've gone long to the dirty area and to avoid being passed I've opened gas and I've gone from behind. My foot is busted, dislocated finger and another fractured " We are seeing a Jorge Lorenzo very annoyed by the action of Marc Marquez in the first corner. He says that the "block pass" that he has done to the 93 in the first corner has ruined the race. He's waiting for Marc to apologize and not do it anymore. Not going to go to DC to claim

Mat Oxley Jorge’s foot bandaged and him on crutches. Tens days for recovery, he says. Fortunately for Jorge, he has someone to blame other than himself.

Steve Day Great race to add to the collection of fantastic battles we’ve seen this season. Shame for Jorge and even bigger shame we don’t have a championship that will go to the wire too. Marquez can finish 5th in every race and still wrap this up. Someone call the engraver!

Welcome to the latest round of "Blame the Champion" “Marc destroyed my race, my foot and probably my participation in Thailand”, Jorge Lorenzo Of course, there's nothing that Lorenzo did that destroyed his chance at championship. First it was the Ducati team who didn't build the bike right and now it's the real champion who didn't let him win.

David Emmett Jarno Saari Lorenzo said himself he had the option to run wide. But if he did, he would lose a lot of places, so he tried to lean more and open the gas. Which didn't work.

pecinogp.com/the-lorenzo-marquez-incident-guilty-or-innocent-judge-yourself/Here's a sequence of images which shows Lorenzo getting too close the the back of Marquez and having to take evasive actions which result in his horrible high-side. You can decide. Probably, most decisions will be made based on whether or not you are a Rossi fan or a Marquez fan. It looks to me like Mark was ahead and was using the line as he has the right to do. Lorenzo went wide and tried to correct and almost hit Marquez who was speeding away.

Marc Marquez93: "I have stopped by the dirty area and I have been blocked from the front. It is true that here when you go to the dirty area, skates a lot. They are race lances and when you go to the dirty area you have to have the cold blood of not opening gas to the top.

‘Worst race in my Yamaha time’ - Vinales 24.09.2018 BSN Maverick Vinales has branded yesterday’s Aragon MotoGP as the worst during his tenure with Yamaha but can’t pin down the problem as ‘every area was working bad’. The Spaniard dropped like a stone off the grid after being handed a penalty for holding up Bradley Smith in qualifying and fought back to tenth place but was 22.457s off the win. “Well, honestly it was the worst race in my time at Yamaha, and the worst performance of the bike. The feeling was worse on the bike. I can’t say really precise comments because every area was working bad,” said Vinales. “There was not one area that was working OK. I wasn’t comparing myself to factory bikes; I was comparing myself to non-factory bikes, that were even better than me. Honestly. “I rode a very different bike from yesterday. I tried to try something. I tried to go a little bit higher on the weight balance, trying to put more pressure on the tyres to get grip. But it seems it didn’t work. It was honestly a complete disaster. The corner speed in the last laps, it was spinning around all the track. “I’m really disappointed with this weekend and Misano. I had really good speed at the test, but since Misano it seems we have gone backwards rather than forwards. There’s not much say – just try to forget this race, go home, relax, concentrate and try again at Buriram. “We have lost all our objectives, we don’t know what to aim for. Now we have the Asian tour and I just hope to get it over with fast. Zero motivation, zero expectations.”
