MotoGP 2021

Big loss to Moto Gp and definitely the GOAT. Can’t help think he should have done it a few years back though as his performances have been more “guest appearances” in the latter years.

Great to see some of his old rivals posting nice messages on social media. He had some great rivals across his career. He really has been Mr MotoGP and is up there with the likes of Bolt, Ali, Jordan as a sporting icon. Would love for him to get one more podium and for it to be at Misano, sadly it isn't going to happen.

Vinales, big YIKES

 

[Yaayuh!]

Vinales, big YIKES

Yeah, what's the all about? Is he just giving Yamaha a tough time?

I'll be amazed if Viñales sees out the rest of this season. He's already said he has no confidence in the team so I don't think he'll be back on the bike.

I wouldn't be surprised if he never rides a MotoGP bike again. He has clearly lost the plot. I know he's fast but why risk taking on such a rider who clearly has mentality issues and will want mega bucks to ride.

Apparently he was bouncing the engine off the rev limiter down the main straight several times in the final laps.

If it's true then it's career suicide, I can't see any team wanting a rider that deliberately damages their bike.

Well what can you say about that race!!!

Unreal drama.

 

[el_dazza]

What a mental finish, absolutely awesome stuff!

 

[englishpremier]

Great race. Makes me wonder why I stopped following MotoGP for a couple of years.

 

[Colonel_Klinck]

Simply incredible. That race had everything! Love MotoGP.

Fell asleep with 7 laps to go and woke up very perplexed at binder on the top step of the podium. Went back to watch it. What a thrilling finale! Marque, just not letting go of his bike when he went down was amazing! Didn't quite keep it going though!

 

[the-evaluator]

How cow, Brad Binder!!

Vinales to Aprilia is a done deal.

 

[bloodiedathame]

MotoGP should be renamed Wacky Races.

I think I am not fussed about watching MotoGP without Vale Watched it from when he was in 125... not engaged by the other riders

The racing has never been closer than recently, even with Vale struggling to get even a top 5, sometimes even a top 10 finish. He should have retired a couple of years ago and no one would have said it was too early.

probably true... maybe I just got tired of MotoGP or bored without Vale winning

I felt the same a few years ago, but he hasn't been the same since breaking his leg in that motocross accident put out of contention for the championship. He should have retired after the 2016 season IMO, or perhaps in 2018 after making it 1:1 with Vinales

I've not really been interested in what he does after that. He's been soundly beaten since.

 

[GR63]

yeah, bit sad.. but he's still GOAT for me.... I do find Marquez comes closest for "grabbing my attention" but not same now
