Lose one braking point and the podium vanishes — that's how brutal MotoGP is. I know exactly what happens right after a pass like that on Bezzecchi: it's the most dangerous moment, concentration slips easiest right there. Holding on for fourth deserves credit, but he's the one who'll feel this the most. I hope he gets it back next round.

Could've gotten dicey for Bezzecchi too if he'd fought back.

His brother doesn't usually make this kind of mistake, does he.

Must be tough being compared constantly — hope he bounces back.

P7 to P4 is still a solid recovery on its own, though.

Losing focus right after the pass — that's a rookie mistake, ouch.

Dropping to fifth and clawing back to fourth shows real pace.
