I always prefer to make the analysis with cold blood to limit my emotions, reason why I write now, after I've slept 8 hours.
The protagonists of the race are:
ROSSI - Even if he made a perfect start from the second row, he has been overtaken very easily by the Ducatis, and not only him. By the way, with patience, he remained focused and he went back to the firsts positions.
A real cold blood race and an unfinished business to fix with Marquez who has been overtaken by him. Marc remained glued to his back studying him for many laps. Time laps fixed on 1.46 for both for the whole race.
Rossi was clearly superior on the first chicane of the track where he was able to take a couple of meters which he lost in the final part, the new one.
Valentino won psychologically, his best skill. Zero mistake and tachycardia until the end.
The championship gets more interesting, winning in Spaniards's home, again. -22 points
MARQUEZ - After a careful start and an analysis on Lorenzo for few laps, he has been overtaken by Rossi and he figure out that, on that day, Valentino is the one to beat. Both of them overtook Lorenzo and get distance from the rest of the riders in a beautiful waltz together which they will play for all the race.
He took a risk in the last chicane, loosing the pedal. He study Rossi, wait the lasts laps and he overtake him several times, but the tires are getting worse and the front closes. He goes wide and loses precious tenths. He will figure out that for that day, it's fine like that. He defends concluding 2 seconds from the Doctor.
During the interview he'll say his riding have been influenced by the message from the box (LORENZO OUT), making him think about the championship. From what i remember, he never ridden thinking about that but about the rider in front of him. Indeed he took the risks anyway. Good for the championship +10 on Lorenzo and +22 on Rossi
LORENZO - He gives the idea to go away and win, like use to be, but something goes wrong: the confidence with the bike is not getting better compare to the others and starts to lose positions. First his team mate, then Marquez, then Vinales, Pedrosa and to finish Iannone who hits him without mercy. 0 points and lots of bitter let him run away some insult and gesture. -10 points for him
VINALES - You cannot make a poor figure in your home and Maverick knows this. He goes very fast from the beginning, the agility of the Suzuki is superior and he reaches Lorenzo and Pedrosa, giving us a wonderful battle with them. However the inexperience is visible and the overtaking are dirty, he goes wide several times loosing time from the leading group. Fine enough, he concludes 4°. The Suzuki is coming...
PEDROSA - He is back! He starts immediately fine. He has to manage the tires because compare to the others he opted for a medium compound for the rear one and the temperature for the track is not the ideal for that option. Unfortunately the Vinales's enthusiasm makes him lose tenth. He concludes 3° at 4 seconds from his teammate. -43 points
IANNONE - Too bad... An entire weekend thrown away, not new for him. He starts well, very well and jumps in the front of the grid and after few laps the target becomes Lorenzo. It didn't pass a moment and , at turn 9, Iannone brakes too late (first mistake), thinks it's the good moment to pass (second mistake), brings the Ducati at the internal line (fatal) beating the rear tyre of the Spanish rider. His reputation is going down race after race and at this part of the season could be better arrive at least at the end, since all the zeros collected so far.
