MotoGP Discussion (SPOILERS!)

[loudbeard]

I watched the Moto2 race at Brno, damn that was a great race! Ortola was phenomenal, amazing speed and patience. Great battles in the top 6 throughout the race.

I post this as Q2 is still going. I think it is time to take KTM aside and tell them to fix the bike or stop riding. It is just to dangerous to have that bike on the track anymore.

I agree. I wouldn't let them on track at a trackday, let alone a race! Scary stuff

The Benz once again is his own worst emery. This one hurts in more way than one, I trust he is, ok? Track House, OMG Ogura. He will win more and Aprilia should have done everything to keep him. Brutally fast track Great race.

all 3 races were fun to watch. Moto2 was outstanding for the win. The big bikes were fun to watch as well. Bez's crash was scary. At least they have a few weeks off to recover. Alex had a great ride. Ogura was finally able to put it together early enough for the win. Looked awesome. I still think they need to take KTM aside and tell them to get their shit together or stop racing. I know the GP was Acosta but there have been too many failures with that bike. I find it funny how fast that bike went from a contender to absolute junk. 1.5 years?

I am excited to get to next year just to see who gets it right first.

KTM spent a lot of money to get the bike to where it was competitive and won races, and they have Acosta, unfortunately Moneys dried up a bit, and I bet research and development suffers for it. Plus, KTM has always had reliability issues anyway with their street stuff. Guess some of that has transferred to their race team.

I trust he is, ok?

The google says "Marco Bezzecchi was involved in a high-speed crash at Turn 15 during the Dutch Grand Prix at Assen but has been cleared of any serious injuries. Medical examinations and CT scans at Groningen Hospital revealed no fractures or neurological damage, and he has traveled back home to Italy to recover... Despite initial reports of severe pain, Aprilia Racing confirmed he walked away with only bruising and was discharged."

Raul Fernandez, Ai Ogura and Jorge Martin hadn't seen the crash until the three of them were in the little room watching the race highlights together. Their reaction shows just how much these guys care for each other despite being such fierce competitors.

That was one helluva crash.

Speaking of crash damage, Alex Marquez's performance was incredible. Wonder how he was feeling post race.
