MotoGP 2025

Apart from everyone falling off their bikes that was incredibly boring. Absolute yawn fest again. Getting tedious tbh.

You have to feel a bit sorry for Joan Mir, he's terribly unlucky. If he fell in a bucket of **** he'd come up sucking his thumb.

This comment aged well :D

Felt for Bastianini, he was doing well.

Bez seems to have discovered something in that Aprilia, bloody fantastic. Jorge's massive sulk-a-thon seems to have died down, or the press are just full of **** as usual.

Boring race though, just like every other race where Marquez wins.
 
Martin missing most of this season so far has been such a shame. What a Diva he has been though during his time so far at Aprillia.

I hope he can come back strong after the break and possibly be one of the few to challenge Marc for wins.

There were some sparks between them last year, and I think it could really light up between the pair of them.
 
The Aprilia is a strong bike, I think a fully fit Martin would have given Marc Marquez a much tougher time than Pecco. I don't think Marquez's results would have been overly affected, but it would have been fun to watch.
 
This is such a boring season. Might start watching highlights as the races are boring AF.

Of course the day I do that the Marquez boys will take each other out and it'll be the most exciting race in years.
 
Il happily watch Marc win every week for another few seasons. Enjoy watching the other riders realise they aren't as special as they thought they where. Seeing guys who have always seemed to despise him start to respect him.

Admittedly that sprint race was poor today
 
Another awful sprint race but against all the odds the main race was actually alright .

Such a bad track for motogp though . Acostas bike nearly killed a cameraman yesterday and god knows how ennea didn’t collect anyone today
 
So Yamaha's V4 breaks cover this weekend, although Yamaha have clearly stated that "it's not for development purposes, it's for data only", yeah ok Yamaha, pull the other one :D

Looking forward to seeing what it can do, or if it even finishes the race :eek:
 
Alex Rins has said that for the first time in his career he wants to be beaten by another bike. TBH, it's rare that he's not beaten by the vast majority of the grid this season.

It'll be interesting to see how the V4 performs, but they've got a bit of a problem if it's working well and ready to race because they've homologated the front fairing and the V4 needs a new one meaning the race riders can't use a new fairing.

Not a good look for Valentino Rossi to be quite as gleeful as he was yesterday when Marc Marquez fell off in the sprint.

The cameras zoomed in on Rossi smiling as was everyone else around him also enjoying the race. Perhaps the broadcasters should stop trying to stir the pot by doing this. How is he meant to look? Concerned and sad for Marc?
He is entitled to an opinion and to react how he likes whilst watching a race.
You only have to listen to the boos and watch the celebrations of the majority to see how most of the home crowd felt.

I wouldn't expect him to look concerned, but there's a world of difference between looking concerned and being openly happy that Marquez had crashed out.

Of course he's entitled to his opinion, I didn't say or imply otherwise.

I did listen to the boos and watch the celebrations of the crowd, but what's that got to do with with what I posted? Absolute zip. I stand by what I said, being openly gleeful when some crashes out is not a good look.

I think it is a good look. A look of honesty. A look of something that is now missing from motogp riders as they bow down to being well behaved sportsmen whom can't possibly have an opinion that another rider is a complete tool, especially not in public. Rossi said what he saw and thought, and if that involved calling out people like Marc, he did. The deep rivalries of the past are now missing. It's all too nice.
I think it says a lot when Rossi lives deep in the minds of Marc supporters. They are more worried about him in retirement than what Marc is doing and achieving currently. That's because Marc will never be Rossi, no matter what the stats end up saying.

Agreed 100%, Marc will never be Rossi. Rossi is the biggest personality the sport has even or will ever see. It's because of him that the sport is as big as it is. I do believe that Marc will surpass Rossi in the record books though.
