2021 MotoGP Discussion (Spoilers)

[Eddie]

Not surprised by Vinales' departure. Can't understand why Yami kept him for so long...rarely showed up to the party during his tenure

13 poles 9 wins 24 podiums! Don't believe he was a total bust. When the stars align he is fast, But he has had his what the fuck moments.

Not the Lorenzo replacement they were looking for to say the least. Need 9 wins in one season!

[nhbubba]

Yeah. Like Mir, the current world champion.

Please, do compare the 2020 seasons of Mir and Vinales

[MUZ720]

2020
Mir: 14 starts, 0 poles,1 Win, 3 seconds, 3 thirds , 171 points Champ!
Maverick : 14 starts, 3 poles, 1 Win , 2 seconds, 0 thirds , 132 points, 6th overall.

Their are only two guys within the currant crop who have that many on there resume in one season! Easy question! Maverick is a head case, Talent in spades but not a alien that's for sure!

2020 is a crap shoot. We can all agree that had Marc been there...

I was preaching the Marc thing the hardest, but I'm eating my words now.

Marc's a beast, he'll be back. That run from 20th -> 8th was impressive.

It was impressive, but he has been crashing way to much! And I still think the bikes junk! Ten more races to go so will see..

I think a few years late but Rossi is retiring after this season.

This article just tripled my knowledge on moto2.

Looking forward to a race weekend after the break!

[jimmycapp]

It's time for Rossi. Hopefully get to see him in San Marino next month, for the last time. Booked my hotels and everything but tickets still aren't on sale...

[tsorfas]

Nobody made the sport more known and lovable than him. It is definitely time.
Even seeing him on the interview today and comparing to young kid Rossi. Feels like it was 100 years ago.

[tsorfas]

Almost every singe Moto rider posted something on their social media (mostly IG) about Rossi retiring and what he meant to the sport. Not a peep from MM

[tsorfas]

Grazie Vale

[JettaJayGLS]

Okay...starting to take back all the good things I've said about Vinales.

Seems he can add saboteur to his resume.

93 looks like a wrecking ball. I'd be pretty pissed if I were gridding up with someone riding that way.

Hey, 41 isn't blaming 93 at all:

“About Marquez I will not blame him, I mean there’s no point, Marc is Marc,” he said. “Every race he overtakes like this from the last 10 years. What I want to blame is the stewards panel. I don’t know, maybe they were watching the last days of the Olympics."

Still, I don't think 93 is getting an Xmas card this year from 41.

[nhbubba]

Maybe it just hasn't been highlighted as well in past races.
Maybe I haven't been paying attention.
Maybe I'm must in a mood.

Bowling ball through a corner like that with no fucks given is uncool.

That said, I've experienced it racing myself. "Relax dude, it was just a block pass."

Haha that's hilarious!

I think Mav has gone ... inverted. He's off the rails mentally. I hope he has already signed with Aprilia, cause that's the kind of shit that will scuttle a career

Never thought I was a big fan of his, but I'd rather see Dovi at Aprilia.
I can't point my finger at any specific talent of his, other than he knows how to win.
