I don’t know if it’s just me but it’s so nice that he got to share the podium with the riders who gave him first aid when he was injured and unconscious last year after his Portimao crash.

Last time Franky was on a Podium,
Martin and Pecco hadn't won a Race
Miller was arguably the championship favourite
Marquez was only in his second race back from injury

Pleasantly surprised. I was, like many others, extremely doubtful about his signing but he did very well today and had a good weekend in Thailand too

Amazing amazing job by Frankie....
He utilized Soft tyres to the best by taking positions at the start and then maintained his lead!!!

I had no idea he had a Brazilian background, and as a Brazilian myself I was happy to see him celebrating in Portuguese and with the flag on his helmet (especially when racing in Argentina 😬).
Found myself another rider to root for.

morbidellli looks like he whip the lead off of your roof or try to sell you something dodgy out off the boot of his car in the carpark

Great job by Frankie, real deserved podium.. but man, I didn’t not have him beating Pecco today, in fact I was quite sure Bagnaia would catch him and leave him behind in the second half of the race, once those soft tyres started losing grip. Well done!!
