Miller on a pramac  ducati in 2nd, and Nakagami on the LCR Honda in 3rd.  Zarco on a esponsorama racing ducati in 4th,  Pol Espagaron on factory KTM in 5th, and Vinales on the factory yamaha in 6th.  Rossi,  dovitsioso,  Mir and Rins did not make the top 10 Race: Well, Morbidelli jumped out in front, took the lead and held it the entire race.  Miller made a really good effort to catch and almost pass him in the final lap, but ultimately failed to do it.  Mir, who started back in the field, made it to 7th.  He ran a conservative race, knowing that as long as he finished he would clinch the championship.   His teammate, Alex Rins, ran a good race and finished 4t, cementing Suzuki to win the manufacturers championship as well, a first for suzuki in MotoGP.  Pol Espagaro ran a solild race and finished 3rd on the factory KTM.  Quatrararo went down, vinales and rossi finished back in the pack, 10th and 12th.  So, the championship has been decided, but the racing is still up for grabs, so stay with us for the finale next week in Portugal.

We start with the rides. Larry does his for his eyes only loosening  up before his 90 mile ride through the countryside.  Tom has merely trundled about on his  electric bicycle this week. did get new tires for his GS, and rode a few miles to scrub the tires. This leads to Kevin’s question about what does constitute for each of us, and our listeners, what constitutes a ride?  For Tom, and Larry, any distance on the motorcycle is a ride. Kevin asks now what is a quality ride.  Tom says a safe one…Kevin looks for a longer distance, perhaps over 50 miles, to count as a quality ride.
