MotoGP Discussion (SPOILERS!)

[Rada]

Track conditions aside, Brazil looked like a super fun track for a middleweight track day.

My thoughts exactly. Looks fun. Has lots of bumps like Loudon. I would have a ball there on the Duke. Maybe have the guy who paved NYST go there and fix the surface. Then woohoo!

[FriskyDingo]

great weekend for Digi, the way he bolted out of the start in the sprint was crazy and then a podium on Sunday Knew Marc would get him with a few laps left, was awesome to see him then take it back

Forgot Baggers this weekend also.

Yaaasssss! Looks like a track I would enjoy for a change. I hope Adelaide ends up being a good track.

WOW! That sprint was wild.

[Paul_E_D]

Chaos! Even more than last year! That celebration though!

The Simon effect was 100% spot on, I loved it. For Marc- you attempt this and take yourself and someone else out, penalty.

Exact same move for Martin, but he sticks it. No penalty.

I was concerned after the Martin pass that they would treat the situations the same. Literally the exact same pass and conditions. Great job getting this right by Simon.

[MUZ720]

Aprilia has game again. So, does Martin stay? And please can Mir just stay upright?

[Rada]

Holy cow what an event!
M3, M2, Sprint and Race.. Good times!!!
How I wish my man FQ20 was on an Aprilia.. Lol.
The Aprilia is so strong right now.. It's awesome!
The in car conversation between the podium riders after the sprint was epic!

[FriskyDingo]

WTF happened to Oguras bike, that sounded heinous and he was climbing fast, if he could get his starts off to a better start/qualifying...

[TheIglu]

Motor went into protection mode.

[Paul_E_D]

Motor went into protection mode.

Apparently he was spanking it too hard!

[Rada]

Ogura was putting the whoop on that bike..
He was coming quickly.. Fun to see him up front.

Can we take a moment to acknowledge the butt hole tightening shots the cameramen were getting in T10.

Just wild.

[union]

Wow that sprint was nuts. Lucky crash if there is such a thing out there.

[MUZ720]

Marc is one lucky dog to have crash near pit entry just in time to swap bikes otherwise he's out one more lap before changing. Close call on if he broke any rules crossing the track to gain entry into the pits? But cool interesting race.

[loudbeard]

Some interesting politics this weekend. Rins is without a ride in ‘27 and Ogura set to take it. I really can’t imagine why anyone other than FQ would want to ride a Yamaha, even a factory seat. They’re the new Honda. Unless there is good reason to believe the ‘27 rule changes will be a great equalizer, this seems like a really bad idea for Ai.

That would be my thought. Big rule changes often bring surprises. Anyone wanna go halfsies on a Ducati? And Top half or bottom half?

[MUZ720]

27 is going to be interesting for sure, who really knows who going to get the package right out of the box? Ogura leaving Aprilia is a strange one for me, Money more than likely, can't see Aprilia having a dog with the new bike. Yamaha is lost with the V4 this year. So, who knows with a smaller model. They're Wasting of FQ in his prime is hard to watch. And it was cool watching the old man on the Honda have a great weekend.

[02redhawk]

Wait. Old man? Whats that make us? LOL

[Rada]

Such a weird weekend. Just odd. The GP racing was pretty Meh.
Not sure how I feel about the Marc win in the sprint.. I suppose it was legal to pit in from there as long as he didn't ride counter track?

Moto 3 was good as per usual. So much passing and close racing.

[MUZ720]

35 is old by Moto GP standards. he is the oldest, guess that makes us way old.

[Nalani]

Liberty Media is reportedly considering former Red Bull boss Christian Horner for a potential MotoGP CEO role. Do you see this happening? I am not sure this is going to happen.

[MUZ720]

Car guys running a bike show? Well at least the spice girls could be used on pre grid.
Guenther Steiner running tech 3 KTM is going so swingingly at this point why not!

It will do the same thing that has happened in F1. Turn good racing into straight a garbage show. I don't have a lot of faith in the new rules for the lower classes next year. Feel like the are all going to be too close to specs and it may ruin he fun we get with Moto3

[Paul_E_D]

Enjoy it while it lasts, The F1 takeover spells disaster for what has remained a fairly pure racing endeavor.
