Jerez looked as though it was, once again, going to be the Fabio show; the Frenchman with the Italian sounding name built a commanding lead and pretty much dominated the race until half way through when the poor kid got arm pump and couldn?t hold on any more. That left the door open for a brace of factory Ducatis to take a one-two with Miller and Bagnaia abord them. Anyway, this is how we rated the top ten finishers in the MotoGP at Jerez.

Jack Miller – 9/10

Jack didn?t really put a foot wrong in the race, but he was definitely only the second fastest man on the day. I?m not saying he didn?t deserve the win, because to finish first, first you?ve got to not get arm pump. Or what ever the saying is. But I can?t give him full marks when Quartararo left him for dead in the opening laps. That said, it?s good to finally see the Aussie doing what he needs to do on that factory bike, after a fairly pedestrian start to the season.
Pecco Bagnaia – 8/10

P2 went to Pecco, making it a memorable one-two for Ducati, on a circuit that they probably weren?t expecting it on. He wasn?t quite as fast as Jack, but he isn?t as experienced, so you cant take that away from him. Pecco had a nice little ding-dong with Morbidelli which highlighted the speed of the Ducati, but also the cornering prowess of Morbidelli?s Yam; which was interesting. Pecco showed he has got the speed to fight for wins in MotoGP even if he hasn?t won one yet. I don?t think it?ll be long ...
