Another great sprint with some quality racing and no incidents for once

Crazy crazy race. Great to see the championship points get closer. Can't believe mm stuffed it on the penultimate. Always win or bust.

Was a great race with some great battles. No idea what was up with jack miller. He was flying on Friday and then had absolutely nothing .

Marc is Marc I suppose. Guess his shoulder is ok now the way he was riding this weekend

The meeting Marc had with honda must have been bad. They seem to be trying to kill him this weekend. He's not even pushing and still being thrown off. Never seen a race bike look so unstable . Even the wild Ducati that kept throwing Rossi off

Today race has surely got Jorge Martin written all over it he definitely found the rhythm in the sprint . Shoulder down

I can't see Marquez being on a Honda next season. It wouldn't surprise me all that much if he didn't see out the season.

SoliD · 18 Jun 2023 at 14:11

Cor what a battle that was.

"andy" · 5 Aug 2023 at 13:14

Glad I never decided to go to Silverstone this weekend. No weather for bike racing.

Bezzechi didn't seem bothered this morning mind . Even after that massive off in practice

The sprint race madness is surely going to be bonkers if it's as wet at 3pm as it was earlier

Race of the year so far. That last lap, holy hell :eek:

the-evaluator · 6 Aug 2023 at 14:22

I would have liked to see Olivera win, but that's a great result for Aleix.

Another torrid weekend for the Japanese bikes.

That was a terrible crash. 5 off like dominos at turn 1 then later on Bagnaia fell off and had his legs ran over

Diddums · 3 Sep 2023 at 13:08

Holy ****

Whoever controls these camera feeds needs sacking.

Was just about to write the same, race direction has been a disgrace! Showing replays of the crash and legs being ran over multiple times when we don't know the riders condition, showing the aftermath with him struggling on the track, showing his girlfriend and sister in the paddock wtf!

Yep, absolutely abysmal.

Really glad for Aprilia, what an astonishing result for them. Hope Pecco and Bastianini recover ok, what an awful day for Ducati.

Diddums · 4 Sep 2023 at 19:50

This guy has got a guardian angel watching over him, that was seriously nasty :eek:

Bagnaia gives us an update right after leaving the hospital ️ | 2023 #CatalanGP

At a loss to explain what happened in Lap 1, but hopeful to be fit in Misano This is what Pecco Bagnaia said yesterday right after leaving the hospital ️...

Bagnia was so bloody lucky ! Could have been nasty as ! Good to see him back

Dani pedrosa showing binder and miller up in fp2 there. Maybe the honda was never the rocket we thought it was and him and Marc where just that good

the-evaluator · 8 Sep 2023 at 16:18

Pedrosa was always a top class rider, he struggled on the Honda when the softer tyres were introduced. As a lighter rider he couldn't put enough load through the rear tyres to generate heat and grip.

Diddums · 14 Sep 2023 at 13:43

Last weekend's race was absolute dross, if that'd been the first one I've ever watched I'd likely never watch MotoGP again. Dull as dishwater.

Fantastic seeing Pedrosa not only on the grid, but in the points too. Already got more points than Quartararo

I'm also starting to understand why Vinales deliberately killed his bike last year, Yamaha are absolutely hopeless and show no intent to be competitive again. The Japanese are quite odd like that though, see also the whole Carlos Ghosn thing. They're in a tricky spot though, their engine is supposedly at peak performance and getting more power will mean either swapping to V4 or spending a significant amount of money on their inline 4, neither of which they want to do because the regs might take them down in CC in 2025.

Shame they didn't use the downtime to work on their power output, it's quite embarrassing for them tbh.
