Should have started this thread a couple of weeks ago but the new season is here and there is a fantasy team. You signup through MotoGP and this is the link to the league.

League is called OCUK

For me Ducati are obviously the team to beat again and Bagnaia has to be the favorite but I think Fabio will be there or there abouts. Hopefully Marc can get enough out of the Honda which is sadly lacking to get in the title race or at least cause some chaos.

The sprints liven Saturdays up a fair bit. This season could be awesome!

I'm looking forward to this, sprint races should be much more exciting that Formula 1's attempt.

Last nights sprint was superb. Great start to the season Although sadly seems Bastianini will miss part of it. Was looking forward to seeing him compete on the factory bike.
Almost impossible to write Marc off but already it looks as if he has his work cut out to finish ahead of the Ducs. Hopefully April’s and KTM can continue to close the gaps. Going to be another great season.

What do you if a rider is over-riding a poor bike & causing collisions ???

Give him a long lap penalty for the next race so he is even worse...

SoliD · 26 Mar 2023 at 18:03

Or just let him keep making mistakes until he kills someone...

"andy" · 26 Mar 2023 at 19:58

Give him a Ducati and no one will ever get near for a collision

Not sure what they do with him really. From the highs of that pole lap to that absolute mess . His own worst enemy. Hope oliveria is ok.

Shame vinales couldn't keep up later on . Not the best race

For me Marquez should get a race ban for that atleast, completely overriding the bike with no respect for other riders. Its not like this is a one off, he has history for that sort sort of thing, all apologetic after the event but just keeps on doing it anyway. On a positive note the sprint race really was excellent, much more exciting than today's normal race.

So Marquez is going to miss the next round due to hand surgery so the race penalty has been scrubbed ????

What a load of ********

Common sense has prevailed (something that can rarely be said about MotoGP stewarding), he'll take the penalty at the next race he competes in -> https://www.motogp.com/en/news/2023...z-penalty-applicable-for-his-next-race/451102

The right decision.

Well that was something :eek:

Binder is a top class fighter, love watching him!

SoliD · 1 Apr 2023 at 21:42

What a great race. Both sprint races have been amazing so far! Hope it continues!

Diddums · 16 Apr 2023 at 20:49

What a waste of time that was. Awful track, awful camera angles and Neil Hodgson's incessant need to name-drop only added to it.

Meh.

the-evaluator · 17 Apr 2023 at 09:08

Yeah, not the best race weekend. Great result for Alex Rins though. I wouldn't have been surprised if Honda didn't get a single race win this year.

Diddums · 29 Apr 2023 at 14:39

Well that was absolutely mental. Binder's bike control is on a whole different level, mindblowing to watch :eek:

3 laps to go counter steering so far through the corner. What a rider!

"andy" · 30 Apr 2023 at 14:12

What sprint race again ! Wonder if the tyres will last for KTM today ! Handling like on rails yesterday but miller said his tyres paid the price

Poor Oliveira. Not having much luck ! Hope he's ok

SoliD · 30 Apr 2023 at 14:36

What is going on with these penalties. Let them race!

Ridiculous isn't it. Went awfully quiet after them though, I wonder if someone had a word. Top form from Binder and Pecco, superb stuff.

KTM are smashing it at the moment, whoever manages the launch control of those machines is a wizard.

Feddie Spencer and the rest of the stewards need to get out of their ivory tower and explain some of their decisions. I fail to understand why Quartararo got that long lap penalty. As for Bagnaia having to drop a position, it's a race FFS!

The stewarding decisions are ruining MotoGP.

"andy" · 12 May 2023 at 15:15

Marcs definitely back. Certainly found the Hondas limit , he's about half a second quicker than rins on the next quickest one but has written 2 bikes off today already

Jack miller surely the favourite for the weekend . Even if it rains
