Yup. Good hard racing
There was a big meeting between riders and race instruction.
I reckon the riders expressed their views quite strongly
Not a spoiler, but I am sure that there are many thousands on their way home from Assen who will discover later that the result of the Moto GP is not what they saw at the circuit. It is the fans that pay a lot of money to attend that are being royally shafted by the Moto GP stewards.
Before I get shouted at I will be the 1st to admit I don't know the solution to this, but I am at this moment undecided as to wether I am going to shell out a lot of money for us to go to the British Moto GP especially as I believe that it is being shown free to air on ITV.

Too late here, already committed as booked weekend tickets, grandstand & camping etc. Starting to get mad money now though, not sure how long we’ll continue going in UK.
As to your other point regarding race results, it’s bloody infuriating.

Whilst the rules are well understood by teams/riders, for me I think it’s a case of the last lap penalty being disproportionate to the crime for any supposed advantage gained in the example from this weekend.
It's a very well known rule.
Touch green on last lap gets you long lap penalty.
There are sensors in the green areas. No room for mistakes.
He did it twice this weekend from 3rd places.
Muppet.

Yeah I know, it’s an automatic black/white outcome from sensor readings. From a purely logical perspective that makes perfect sense. But from an emotional or situational perspective it can be infuriating, especially when you may have been hoping to have the offending team on the podium.
The problem in my experience at foreign tracks is unless you have access to a big screen then commentator announcements are not much good if you don't speak the language

It's only same as a crash on last bend. You won't know unless you see it.
The old pits are getting long in the tooth.

In a way I’m glad it’s so expensive to camp there now for the weekend.
It’s saved me getting soaked and I watched on the tv

I couldn’t get my head around booking a Moho that it’s obviously a vehicle and not a tent so you paid more for it.
Then had to pay for a vehicle pass wtf is that all about
Any future visits to a Moto GP will involve using the ferry or tunnel.
I just won’t pay for the rip prices.
