Watching corner-entry to corner-exit for a living, seeing both those guys mess it up at the same time genuinely surprised me. Turn 1 at Silverstone doesn't demand hard enough braking to trip the release — that's a rider error, not a tech failure. The paddock's probably still talking about nothing else.

Fernandez capitalizing on that gap for the win was exciting.

Only banning the front device until 2027 is confusing.

Banning just the front is such a half-baked rule, honestly.

Martin blowing the start from pole is such a waste.

Ogura making the same mistake right there is almost funny.
