2023 MotoGP Discussion (SPOILERS!)

[union]

Well that was a season changer.

[MUZ720]

No broken bones! But the Send it red rider was not so lucky!

Pretty cool to see Pedrobot back in the mix this round, hope he does well.

Pedrobot is an animal. He was a wild card earlier in the season a couple months back and ended up being a SOLID fantasy team pick-up finishing 7th with 19 fantasy points in Jerez. 19 points isn't a ton but he was only 1.4 mil, I think.

I suspect he'll be a good pick-up this weekend as well. He's 1.7 mil this go around, but it seems like he and the KTM engineers have been putting in a whole LOTTA work on that full carbon chassis.

I might have missed that round…

I don’t do the fantasy but should look into it for next season as it might help revive my waning interest.

got a new dog, he's a TV junky, watching our first GP race together right now, he is FASCINATED by it.... looks like his new favorite show

[OreoGaborio]

C'mon, man... you know the rules... where's the Dog Tax?

[FriskyDingo]

no pics of him watching, but this is him

must be motorsports related, he seemed to enjoy the end of indycar race as well...

[Rada]

I need to get a picture of Ares watching. He was sitting on the couch watching intently Sunday

[OreoGaborio]

Pedrosa's a stud... As much as I love Jack Miller, if he doesn't turn things around I'd love to see Dani make a comeback.

However I'm pretty certain a position like that is a lot more likely to go to Acosta, yeh?

[TheIglu]

Miller just can't make it through a race anymore. And if he does, he usually starts strong and fades fast. He's not showing KTM much at this point.

I like him too, but KTM wants a championship contender. They have one in Binder, and not in Miller.

Got a chance to look at the numbers and this race was *fast*

Martin set a new lap record at 1:30.390 breaking the old record by almost 0.7sec, five riders on three different makes beat the old record in qualifying. During the race Martin did not see any tire drop off - first flying lap 1:32.4, next to last lap 1:32.1, every lap in the low 32s or upper 31s

Total race times
2023 - 41:33.421
2022 - 41:43.199
2021 - 41:48.305
2020 - 42:02.272
2019 - 42:25.163

52 seconds faster than 2019! Note - looking online I think the track was resurfaced before the 2020 race so that would account for some time, still, 30sec faster than 2020!
