We start this one off with a topic you might not expect... Jorge Lorenzo. Jorge Lorenzo isn't exactly setting the grid on fire with his performances on the RC213V. It might be considered the best bike in MotoGP, but he simply cannot ride it well enough. But that doesn't mean Jorge is going to be dropped from the team (early).
Mugello was the culmination of a life's work for Danilo Petrucci and it showed on his face in parc ferme. A win on your home soil, in front of all those fans, against the best-of-the-best, with 0 asterisks has got to feel amazing. Did you know he almost quit GP entirely... twice? Danilo is a beast and we are so lucky to get to see this moment.
Andrea Dovizioso was given a lot of credit for Petrucci's win - by Petrucci himself. And its odd in the hyper-competitive environment of MotoGP to HELP your teammate beat you. But it happened. So we have to wonder why. Is Dovizioso training his teammate in an effort to beat Marquez for the title? Someone needs to finish between Dovi and Marc - Petrucci might be the best candidate.
The Mugello race showed once again that Alex Rins has what it takes to fight for wins. The Suzuki and Rins are maximizing their strengths of turning and tire conservation and minimizing their weakness of HP - and we really mean "minimizing", see Yamaha's woes. Because of all this, we thankfully have a 3rd rider spicing up the championship. Rins will take more points off of Marquez later this season - he should be worried.
Its hard to get BrotoGP to talk about Yamaha in MotoGP, especially with Rossi crashing out of his home race at Mugello. I don't want to deb the whole thing, but the story is old. They still don't have a handle on their electronics. Their HP deficit seems to be growing year after year. They are definitely the 4th-best bike on the grid. Perhaps Mugello 2019 can be their low point and we'll have something positive to say next time out.
Rider safety in MotoGP is thankfully something that isn't taken lightly. So when Valentino Rossi and Marc Marquez call for changes to the icon Mugello Grand Prix circuit to make it safer, people listen. Yet is that really the best solution here? The braking zone for turn 1 is less safe because the GP bikes are almost at 360kph. So why not just slow them down?
